Glucose test...you can just suck it!!!

I've heard so many horror stories about this test that I've been dreading it for the last few weeks.  I've heard that the glucose drink that they give you is absolutely disgusting and will make you sick sometimes!

No Thanks!!!

I took the first test yesterday, the glucose tolerance test...and I'm sad to say that I did not pass!  Now, for those who have never had this test done, the test determines whether or not you have Gestational Diabetes. The first test is just a screening.  They have you drink this delicious drink which is filled with a high amount of sugar... and you just sit around for an hour to let the drink get into your system.  After that hour is up they draw your blood and review it.  I guess about  1/3 of women who test positive for the screening test usually test negative for GD.  I'm really hoping that this is the case for me.  

SO here I am now taking the 2nd test.  This test is a little bit more involved and time consuming.  It's a total of 3 hours and you are not allowed to eat 10-12 hours before your test.  All I can think about now is what delicious breakfast I'm going to treat myself to when I'm done with this test!!!  

When I arrived this morning they took a blood sample and I drank another glucose drink, which I felt was A LOT more syrupy than the one I took yesterday! Blehkk!! Brandon is currently hyped up and kicking up a storm at the moment.  It's pretty funny, cause I just just imagine him bouncing off the walls. After every hour for the next 3 hours they collect a blood sample, so I'm looking at getting poked about 4x's today.  I'm not shy when it comes to needles, but I may be tested today.  I'm just done with all this testing...I'm done with the worrying...this could possibly be my least favorite part about my pregnancy thus far.  Josh and I have talked about the "what if's" and have mentally prepared for any situation that comes our way. We both have decided that no matter what the outcome is, that we will be positive and take it head on!
