Sigh of relief

I was patiently waiting to hear from Dr. W's office regarding the results from my blood work on Friday afternoon. Once I hit day #3 without a phone call or email I decided to send a quick email. I only had to wait about an hour to hear back...all the results from my blood work on Friday came back NORMAL!! Phew!!  HUGE sigh of relief over here. No low iron levels (I was concerned about this as I've noticed myself munching on ice cubes lately.) and most important - NO signs of gestational diabetes!! Looks like I'll keep up with my cruciferous veggies and no/low carb diet as it's working. :)

I started my day with getting my teeth cleaned...in hind-sight I should have gone last month but at least I finally went. My gums have suffered thanks to the hormones but everything got a good cleaning today and I'll be breaking out the electric toothbrush tonight. To add some fun to the mix I get to start using warm salt water to rinse out my mouth each night and morning to help heal my gums.

Only one more week until we fly home to MA for our family/friend baby shower. I am truly in awe that we are going to get to do this!! :)

    I started using a sonicare toothbrush a few months ago and during my last cleaning my dentist gave me an A+ on gum health. It makes such a huge difference. Although it took me a week or so to get used to the feeling of using one.

    Newburyport is very pretty!

      That's the one the hygentist recommended it. I am pretty sure we have one at home...just need to dig it out. :)
      Newburyport is really pretty...my Mom's house is about 10 minutes from the beach...really hope we get there!

    Newburyport is great- we have friends in both Newburyport and West Newbury. They are really cute towns!

    Yay for normal blood work!

      What a SMALL world!! I grew up in West Newbury and then moved to Newburyport with my Mom when we sold the house back in 2003.

    Congrats on the bloodwork! I'm impressed with your commitment to low-carb. I'm not doing so hot on that myself...

      Thanks!! My endocrinologist put the fear of carbs in me during my last visit with her, so I've been good. :)
