A++++++++++++++

I passed my glucose test!! All four of my blood draws were way below the maximum level of 140. I am pretty relieved.

Did You Feel the Earthquake?

Last night, I turned over in bed. Next thing I know, Mike is sitting straight up, ready to bolt out of bed, yelling, "EARTHQUAKE!!!"

I assured him that it was not the Big One, only his big wife rolling over in bed. In a stupor, he said, "Are you SURE?" I reassured him and then began to giggle. He told me to "SHH!!" and that he was "glad that he could entertain me."

Of course, he didn't remember a thing this morning when I asked him about it.

I failed the glucose test. So now I get to go back for a three hour test on December 14th at 7:30AM. I get to drink the Orange Drink again and get my blood drawn 2 or 3 times during a 3 hour period. And I can't eat anything after midnight until the test is over.

The Orange Drink

The "Orange Drink" used to be me and my dad's favorite thing to have when we I was a kid and he would take me to McDonald's.

This "Orange Drink".....not so much. It did end up tasting a lot like the McDonald's version, except it was carbonated. I had to take it today to check to see if my glucose levels are normal/whether or not I have gestational diabetes. After watching KP during her pregnancy with H, I definitely am hoping I DO NOT have this.

Many pregnant buddies gave me all these tips on how to "pass" the test. Mike convinced me that I needed to just eat how I normally do, because--"Don't you want to know if you have it?" Yeah, yeah....he is right...so I just ate pretty normal--but tried to not down a ton of fruit or other sugary things 24 hours before....Hopefully I will pass with flying colors...Now back to the Pecan Pie leftovers in the fridge...
