I got some sourdough chocolate chip cookies very early in my pregnancy from someone at a craft show. I have no recollection of who it was or where they are located, but I am desperate for some more of those cookies. Googling has done little for me, all I can find is regular cookies. Can anyone help!?

I'd try to make them, but I can't stand for very long and I want them now, not in the hours it'll take for me to try to make sourdough when I've never made it before and I don't think my hormones would accept the failure very easily if I do it wrong.

My cry today at was because morning me, who was pissed off at her husband (I asked for help packing my lunch because I was running late and he fell back asleep), decided to pack herself a sugar free pudding (I have GD) and a spoon in her lunch and lunch me really needed that pudding. It's been a day and it's only halfway through.

And failed my 1 hour glucose test. I got a 171 while fasting (beyond a Tums at 3:30 am thanks to heartburn and my half asleep brain just wanting relief and to lay back down). I almost puked during it, I do not want to do the 3-hour test. That said, I also don't want to poke myself every day, multiple times a day, which I'll probably have to do anyway if I fail the 3-hour, especially because I am really uncomfortable about needles and the idea of poking myself with one for the rest of my pregnancy is not pleasant. I'll do it for the sake of my baby, but I won't like it.

I know a lot of people pass their 3-hour fine after failing the 1-hour, but I'm just ranting. And crossing my fingers I'm one of the lucky ones that also passes the 3-hour.

I'm expecting my first baby in September and have been strongly recommended to start calling daycare places as there's apparently wait lists for infants. I've only started looking today, so, understandably, haven't gotten any responses back from the couple I've reached out to, but does anyone have any recommendations or warnings that may not have made it to Google reviews? We're hoping to start the baby lare October/early November depending on when I can go back to work.
