Sweet!

I had my glucose test today for gestational diabetes. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't the most fun thing in the world.

I had to drink this really sugary stuff that tasted kind of like old, ultra sweet, Hawaiian Punch, then I had to wait an hour. They drew blood, and I guess they check to see how my body handled the glucose. I felt a little bit dizzy after I drank it (you had to finish the whole bottle in under 5 minutes), but then I felt okay. If I fail, I have to go back for a Three Hour Test, and I REALLY don't want to do that.

If I fail the three hour one, then oopsies I have gestational diabetes and I might have to take insulin and all of that stuff. It depends on how severe it is.

I can't wait until I'm done with ALL of my tests. I think I might have one left, and that's the strep test. I think that happens around week 35. I'm getting ready for this pregnancy to be over! I know I probably won't get another good nights sleep for another 20 years, but I would really like to be comfortable again! Oh, I would like the hormones to settle down!!
