Goodbye Gestational Diabetes….and Other Good News!

So I finally received a call from my doctors office this morning….. and it was good news!  I passed my 3 hour glucose test!  Yay!  That means that I don't have gestational diabetes and I won't have to make a drastic change to my diet!  Phew!  Bring on the holidays!!  Like I said before, gestational diabetes is managed through diet, exercise, and monitoring your blood sugar levels.  As long as it's managed there is no harm to the mom or the baby, but just such an annoyance.  I am so thankful that my levels came back normal and I don't have to monitor my sugar levels.

In other exciting but non related news……..

Ben passed his Massachusetts Bar Exam!!

He took the exam ALL THE WAY back in July and has had to wait until now to find out his fate!  Our friend Mark gave all the guys a heads up on Wednesday that the results had been mailed and to expect to receive them in the mail on Thursday.  Ben had told me weeks before that if the envelope was thin it was good news, and if the envelope was thick it was bad news because they were mailing all of the retake information.  We were obviously wishing for a thin envelope!

I had a half day from school on Thursday, so when I got out of school I called Ben.  There was no answer.  I kept thinking that this was not a good sign!  When I got home I was greeted at the door by Jade but no Nyla or Ben.  When I looked on the counter I noticed a letter laying flat.  I quickly scanned the letter and saw the only word that I needed to see to realize that it was good news….

Congratulations!

After reading the letter I ran upstairs thinking that Ben and Nyla were taking a little nap, only to find that neither of them were up there.  Then I realized that they were probably out on a walk.  I ran outside and quickly found them chilling in the sunlight and gave them both a great big hug!  This is the final piece of the law school puzzle, and we're beyond excited that he is an actual Attorney.  You can now call him Benjamin Percy, Esquire!
