xolastunicornxo, sorry, I failed the 1 hour both times, then I failed the 3 hour w/ B and had gestational diabetes. Apparently I was just over the border, so I was so pissed that I failed. Both kids were the same weight at 7 Lbs, 13.5 oz, so big, but not huge.

I just got the BEST news!! Our grocery store went out of business about a month ago. I am not good at meal planning, so I have always stopped at the grocery store about 3 times a week. Each time I get enough stuff to last a few days. We are on the go alot and everytime I "stock up" it never fails and something comes up and food goes bad, or I stick it in the freezer never to be seen again. So the closing has been difficult for me because the nearest store is 45 min away. Well, someone has bought the store and is re-opening it at the end of Nov!!!

I'm sorry, xolastunicornxo , those GD tests always make me so anxious. I'm sitting on the tootsie roll bench with jewels . LOVE them. lfig - My Dad likes to act like my family lives in the middle of nowhere because we have to drive 10 minutes to the Home Depot. I can't even fathom driving 45 minutes to the closest grocery store - glad you won't have to soon!!

Both kids were the same weight at 7 Lbs, 13.5 oz, so big, but not huge. So what did you do when you had gd? Did you have to do shots? And what was your diet like? I’m trying toe tally prepare myself in case I fail the three hour...

I just gave H her bag of candy and told her she could pick out one piece to eat. She rifled around and chose a tootsie roll. WTF? There is so much good stuff in there and that’s what she picked. What's wrong with tootsie rolls? S rarely eats them from his bag, but it's usually because I've stolen them all!! Tootsie rolls are on the bottom of the candy ranking. Slightly above dots and good and plenty.

I’m trying toe tally prepare myself in case I fail the three hour... I had to test my glucose 4 times per day (upon waking, and after breakfast, lunch and dinner) and keep my levels within a certain range. Test was a finger prick. I basically went on a low carb diet. I have heard that for everyone it is slightly different, but that is what worked for me. I learned there were certain things I could eat and stay within my range and certain things I could not eat. Most important for me was to have a balance of protein and vegies with my carbs. So, I could still have pasta but I would cut the noodles with zucchini noodles, ground turkey, and other vegies. But cereal was out. I was devastated when I found out. But at the end of the day it was not that bad. If you do fail it, I'll be glad to give you some pointers on how to stay in range.

(b/c I think they're like dots, right?)

Smarties I ate when I was a kid, now I pass on them. I think dots are like gummies? I don't like licorice either. But I do like coconut which can be unpopular - j only got 1 almond Joy😞

That sucks, xolastunicornxo. I hope you pass the next one I'm always so scared I'll fail. If I can't have booze then I better at least be able to eat what I want during pregnancy!

Milk duds are my jam. I've had several today. Smarties, no thanks. Tootsie Rolls, another no, but Cadence loves them. She always chooses them at the prize counter. "Great, that's 1 ticket, now what are you going to do with the other 499?" "uh....more tootsie rolls?" No. She also has a new found love for Kit Kats. She said last night she likes that they make noise when she eats them(crunches).

I will eat all the Twix. Then milky way. Then snickers. Then reeses peanut butter cup. Then 3 musketeers. Then tootsie rolls. Then I'll eat whatever other chocolate is left over. After that, I'll eat the skittles & starburst.

Probably the last thing I would choose if I got the option of picking anything I wanted.

Butterfinger is way down on my list. So are Snickers. Milky Way is okay, but not great. Reese's peanut butter cups, Almond Joy, Mounds, then Kitcat, and then Twix (maybe). Milk duds and whoppers go in the donate pile. I think the fruity stuff is a whole separate level. I don't like many of them. The white smarties are alright.

Black licorice is the worst. I will turn that down but not much else in the candy world. My favorites are Reece’s, starburst, skittles, Twix, kit kat, gummy candy (like worms or bears)

Josie did get a couple of super sour gum ball kind of things. I immediately put those in my mouth.
