Glucose Tolerance Test

Today I had the joy of having a 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test...I took the one hour one last week and didn't quite pass. The maximum they want you to test is 140 and mine came back 162. So today at 8am I went to the doctor. First thing is they took a blood sample then I had to drink the SWEETEST drink I've ever had in my life. If you can imagine Orange Sugar melted down, that's what it was like. So SWEET! Then I waited an hour and they did a blood draw, waited another hour they did a blood draw, then one more hour and one final blood draw. So I had 4 "pokes" (in the words of my niece), two in each elbow pit. I'll get results sometime early next week it sounds like, and no news is good news. Hopefully results come back good. Gestational Diabetes for the last 10 weeks of pregnancy just sounds like a lot of work. I'm still feeling pretty well. I'm tired all of the time and my body is sore but I can't wait to meet this little guy. He's still moving around all the time, LOVE IT! We get to have an ultrasound next week so it'll be fun to see how much he's grown since our last ultrasound at about 20 weeks.

Orrin has lost something like 15 pounds since his surgery 2 weeks ago...he's on his way!
