Glucose Test

So I had my 3-hour Glucose test today. It was a lot of work leading up to this test. If you have ever been on a high-carb diet with a tiny stomach you will know what I mean. I had to eat so many things for this diet it was ridiculous. I think lunch was the worst though.


For example, my lunch diet was a sandwich, two carrots, a banana, 12 oz. milkshake, and 10-15 potato chips. 

My response was, "Really? That is a diet?" But the first day I had to eat that much for every meal I was in tears by dinner time thinking about food. And for those who think oh just split your meals in half and snack on portions of your lunch, that is not possible. See they also gave me snacks for in between meals so if I didn't eat lunch at lunch by the time I was supposed to go to bed I still had loads of food to eat. 

Anyways, today was easier as far as the eating goes because it was just fasting. But for a 7 month pregnant lady fasting is hard as well. I was go hungry and my heartburn was killing me. I'm opposite in heartburn, if I'm full I don't have it, but if I don't eat my heartburn is insane. I told my mother I have a dragon living in my throat. 

Luckily, I had a very nice lab tech who let me pick where I wanted my blood drawn from today. So since I know my arms are a nightmare for a lab tech I opted for all 4 drawing to be out of my hands. So three pokes on the right hand and one on the left. After 3.5 hours I was good to go and could eat! Yay!

Should get my results back in a few days. Lets all hope that diabetes is not the result. But in all honesty with how hard this pregnancy has been it wouldn't surprise me at all. 

Oh and I have been told belly picture are wanted so Landon and I will try to get around to taking a picture tonight. That way we can get one posted by the end of the week. My belly isn't very big, but we will show it off anyways!
