Baby II Update

Well...I failed the 1 hour glucose tolerance test that I during Spring Break week. So, with newspaper and book in hand, I spent Thursday morning at the doctor's office. I was subjected to the torture test they call the 3 hour glucose tolerance test.

First, the nurse drew blood at 8:30 so that they could test my fasting blood sugar. Then...OH YUMMY!!!...I drank 12 oz. of orange kool-aid. Blech!!! Then, the nurse came back at 9:30, 10:30, and 11:30 to draw more blood samples so that they can see how my body is metabolizing the sugar. Yeah!!! 4 sticks!!

Once the juice kicked in, I could barely keep my eyes open. So, I spent most of the morning asleep in the doctor's office. They have had a small upgrade since I did this last time: a nice comfy leather chair with ottoman in a back room. Last time with Ellie...I slept in the waiting room.

I have another appointment Monday afternoon and the results should be back by then.
