So I took my 1 hr glucose test this morning. It really wasn't as bad as I anticipated it to be, so that was good... but the drink was this funky tasting lemon-lime water. It wasn't carbonated even a little bit, and it was NOT thick (thank god). It was like those off-brand flavored waters... I'm just glad it wasn't like raspberry or something. It was like that fake sweet taste that just wasn't right. At first I was like "oh hey, not so bad" then about halfway done, my throat didn't want to assist in the drinking process, it was too sweet, haha. So it hurt my throat (may have been that heartburn has decided to finally kick in full force over the last week), but I just chugged it out of the way. After being done for about 5 minutes, I got a wonderful headache right in the front where my "third eye" is. Ya know, between and above my eyebrows... that wasn't fun at all. And about 5 mins after that, the bebe wasn't enjoying the sugar-rush. I felt bad because I had to fast, so when I woke up, I was STARVING but I couldn't eat, so we decided to go to Quest Diagnostics earlier than my appt. it got it out of the way about 10 minutes faster.. but I knew the baby was hungry because I was so starving, and I had to wait and wait. The headache stayed through most of the hour, turned into what appeared to be a tiny migraine. It didn't hurt as bad as a migraine does, but I was sensitive to the fluorescent lights and I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep... so instead I closed my eyes and rested on the hubs. (yea I made him go with, just in case.) I'm really glad he went, because the hour went by in what seemed like 20 minutes, so that was good. After the hour passed, I got two vials of blood drawn, then I went home and friggin' ATE. haha I was so hungry!! ...And here I am 4.5 hours later doin pretty good!! I really really hope I pass, i don't want to do a 3 hour test! Doesn't sound fun in the slightest. On a side note completely off-topic, is it just me, or does KFC put crack in their gravy? Seriously... this stuff is good. 25 Weeks, 4 Days 11/20/2009
Wow, it really has been a while since I've written anything on here. So, I'm over halfway done and I'm stressed about anything and everything. I try so hard to stay calm and let things roll off my back, but it's difficult for me because I care so much. I'm so so sad we weren't able to go to Texas to visit my grandparents for Thanksgiving... but, like my grandma told me, God does everything for a reason... even though it sucks, and we can't see the reason right away, there is a reason and it's okay. I have just under 3 months left of this really really fast pregnancy, and Archer is growing sooo much so fast. I call him my "Michigan J. Frog" (I posted a video below this post so you know what I'm talking about) because he moves so much, all the time, but anytime anyone comes and puts a hand on my belly, he stops moving immediately! No fair, but that's okay, haha, I don't mind feeling him move and dance with me :) Mike is doing an amazing job at being there for me and listening to me when I need him. He cares, I know he does, even if I don't always recognize it. I love him more than anything, and I'm still so happy to be married to him and starting a family with him. I really got lucky with this guy :P I guess I'm done now, not a whole lot to update with other than I have a big belly, my feet hurt, and I move a lot slower than I used to! I really wanna meet this baby, and even though the pregnancy is moving fast, I want warp-speed to meet my son! <3 One Froggy Evening : Michigan J. Frog!(please excuse the subtitles, this is the only video I can find the full cartoon of, otherwise it's just bits and pieces or completely dubbed in another language!) |
