I feel so damn accomplished after the 3 hour glucose test.
Not eating for 14 hours, having to drink that stupid concentrated sugar, and getting my blood drawn FOUR times is a huge accomplishment for me. I had my blood drawn more today than I have in my entire life. Thanks to my wonderful reactions (b/p drops & spasms) in the past, I'm proud to say I made it through each stick today anxiety free. I'm amazed.
I'm really not that concerned about coming up with Gestational Diabetes. I am sure it takes longer for me to process sugars, but I know that I do. After the test I was still quite functional and could have done fine driving myself home. Thankfully, my mom came and hung out with me for the test. It was nice to have someone to talk to, it made the time pass much quicker.
But I am exhausted now. Eating for the first time after a fourteen hour fast really drags you down.
I'm just so glad it's over.

I hated that shit. Nasty. It tasted like overly concentrated, extra carbonated orange soda drink. It was disgusting.
Ugh, I'm so sorry you didn't pass. I'm glad it's over with! That 3 hour is nothing to play with.
You are getting SO close! I'm excited for you!
