Glucose

Today's post is very special, because I'm writing it from the Lab where I get all my blood drawn and urine tested. I'm here for my Glucose Tolerance test! Hooray!!

I've been dreading this test for a long time, but I'm about ten minutes in and so far it isn't that bad. I couldn't eat after midnight, so of course I dreamed of food all night and woke up every fifteen minutes to stare at the clock. Finally around 6am I rolled out of bed, got dressed, and headed to the Lab. I had nothing better to do anyway. It turns out 6:45am is the perfect time to be here, because nobody else was here! I got my blood drawn right away and was given the choice between Orange or Fruit Punch for my glucose drink of choice. Every pregnant woman I've talked to has told me how gross this drink is, but I guzzled down my fruit punch and it was DELICIOUS.

Now I'm sitting here with a timer, and once I hit one hour, I get my blood drawn again, then I have another to wait to get my blood drawn AGAIN. Today I'm a human pin cushion, but as soon as I'm done with this, I'm getting my pregnant ass to a Rubio's for some nachos. Just don't tell my nutritionist...
