So we had a little stress for a while. Last week my regular glucose test came back on the high side (140, nurse said 130 is the highest they like to see), so I had to do the 3 hour fasting test. That's what they call it, but really it's a 13 hour fasting test, as you have to fast for 10 hours and then sit in a waiting room for 3 hours while they test you blood 4 separate times (and a full draw for each, plus a finger prick when you first get there) to see how you break down the sugar solution.
I was so hungry when I got there and just felt miserable. The sugar solution was gross, it was this thick lemon/lime, non-carbonated solution, and super sweet.
But on the plus, the sugar drink kept me from feeling really hungry. It wasn't as bad as I was anticipating, I actually got a chance to read uninterrupted for almost three hours.
And of course the good news is that everything is fine and I do not have gestational diabetes!
So everything can continue as normal, and in around 11 weeks +/- we will have little Jacoby! <3
