So, I had the big glucose test today. That was a fun surprise. "Here, you're pregnant and nauseas- drink this sugar liquid in 5 minutes or less and then sit here for an hour and try to ignore your shaking hands".
Good times. They will get the results back tomorrow and as usual, "Will call me if something is wrong". I wish they would call if something is right also. Who wants to sit around and wonder how the test went all day? Plus it would be nice for once to be in with the 'regular' pregnant chicks for once. I swear, in "Analogy Land" If pregnancy were a high school, I'd be the good kid who somehow always ends up with the crowd that's caught smoking behind the gym. ...I'm pretty sure that analogy made no sense. Whatever, use your imagination.
I'm about to drive my sister to the Airport so she can go to Florida and defend her thesis. Pretty exciting because if/WHEN she passes, she will have completed her double masters! Woohoo!

i had to do that a couple weeks ago... i scheduled it as early in the morning as i could since they wouldn't let me eat for 3 hours before. ridiculous sugar drink on an empty stomach for an hour... yeah. i was feeling GREAT!
They told me not to fast any length of time before the test, but I didn't listen. I, too, had an early morning test. After the blood was drawn, I devoured a sugar filled granola bar while waiting for the doctor to come in and see me. The doctor came in and said "Now I wouldn't recommend eating anything high in carbs when you leave. Some people are known to get really sick if they don't eat strictly protein when they leave." Of course, I started flipping out about the granola bar. On the drive back to work, my hands started shaking and I felt like I was going to pass out while driving. I know it's only because of what the doctor said...I was fine....I just tend to get symptoms once they are told to me!
Thinking about you! Any results? Hey Laura...hope everthing went well with your thesis! Being a mom is amazing...can't wait for you to experience it. You're getting so close!
