The nurse called me last week and told me I passed my 1 hour glucose test but only by 4 points. They wanted me to take the 3 hour test since it was so close. I went this past Monday for it. Thankfully Brad stayed home with Carter and Addison (girl I babysit) was sick so I was able to go by myself. Good thing! I got there at 8:30 and they did my first blood draw. The guy could tell right away that he was going to have "fun" with my veins! After he finally got some blood I had to drink the sugary orange drink and wait for another hour. I did well for 15 mins or so and then I got very weak and faint. Fasting + very sugary drink + drawing blood = not so fun feeling! I had three more blood draws (7 total pricks with the needle!) and was able to leave at 11:30. I came home and ate and ate and ate......
They said I would have the results on Wednesday. Well, Wednesday came and went and still no news. She finally called this morning and told me I passed!! Phew! I would find it strange to have gestastional diabetes this time around since I am so much smaller than I was with Carter!
30 weeks - 9 more to go!
