28 Weeks

Hard to believe I'm in the home stretch! 12 Weeks and 4 days to go!

Back to the Red Vines

All is well, it turns out my glucose test came back normal today. Although I do have to say it was sort of a wake up call to eat a little better. Especially since my iron levels are a little low too. So, back to the veggies (ew) and red meat for me. And a little Red Vines thrown in there once in a while.

Still battling a cold though, lots of congestion and groddy snot. Lovely!

Snotty.

GAH. Today I am just full of snot and have a sore throat. How did this happen! Who got me sick!!

My glucose test yesterday was ok, it wasn't too terrible and the technician that took my blood was really good. I have to wait until tomorrow to find out my results, but I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I don't have to worry about this any longer. I was so tired yesterday that I just came home and crashed for three hours.

SUCKS!!

So guess who got a call from the nurse at Dr. Dorcas' office today saying that they needed to come back to the doctor for a THREE HOUR glucose test?! LAME!! I feel so defeated. I mean I know I've gotten worse over the past few weeks in terms of my diet (who the hell wants broccoli and spinach when cookies are waay more delicious?) and I'm guessing my increase in Red Vines over the past few weeks have finally come back to haunt me. Booo.

So the deal is that I need to fast overnight, come in to the lab in the morning, get my blood drawn then chug the nasty drink again, wait an hour, get my blood drawn, wait an hour, get my blood drawn again, then wait another hour for the last blood draw. Maybe I'll be able to zip over to Ikea between blood draws and waste time looking at fun Swedish furniture.

Sigh.

So Tired

Today I had my glucose screening test and so I had to chug a nasty, super sweet orange drink and then go to the doctor to get my blood drawn. Not a terrible experience, and I didn't barf- so I consider it a success. I saw Dr. Dorcas, she measured my belly and made the comment "Wow, you're getting bigger!", listened to the baby's heartbeat and then we were on our way. Pretty soon, I go back in three weeks and then I go every two weeks after that. Crazy!
