Three Hour Glucose Tolerance Test

I'm on my first day off for Spring Break and what am I doing? Oh, well you know..... just torturing myself taking my three hour glucose tolerance test! LOL. However, I'm feeling good about it. I did just as the doctor told me and am taking it one step at a time. 

In fact, it didn't suck much because I walked back and fourth to and from my car to the hospital in between breaks and I know that helped lower the sugar levels. Time actually went by faster than I thought it would. The only thing that sucked was drinking that flat soda. Only this time it was so much sweeter and actually seemed like it was a gel not a liquid! YUCK! 

Any who, I did the test and went on my way and just before picking up hubby I got an email saying CONGRATULATIONS you don't have Gestational Diabetes! Y'all have no idea how amazing that felt. 

So yeah.... glad that's over! :)

24 Week Prenatal and Glucose Tolerance Test

I had my appointment with another doctor today because mine was out for the day. I was a little bummed, but turned out she was pretty nice after all. It was quick, but non-eventful. She had us look and hear little man's heart. It was beautiful as always. Then she went over our last ultrasound results where it tested for defects, etc. Thank God... everything came back within normal limits, so for now all is good :) 

I almost forgot to mention that prior to seeing the doc I was asked to take the dreaded glucose tolerance test. It was so sweet and stale. Tasted like a flat orange soda. Sadly, I forgot to take my metformin that morning, so I'm pretty sure that's gonna effect my results. :/

Any who, results should be in later on. In the meantime I'm taking comfort in knowing that baby boy is coming up as healthy as can be :)
