A Miracle

I didn't get sick this morning or at the hospital!! 

This is a complete miracle! 

Not only did they tell me to fast for 12 hours....

I get to the hospital and sit in the waiting room for an additional 15 minutes,

get my blood taken,

find out I am having 2 hour glucose test (I thought it was 1 or 3?!),

need to wait until they receive the results from my fasting blood test before I can take the drink and then the official two hours begins,

an hour later {and many waves of nausea} I can finally take my drink,

I was hoping to take it somewhere secret like the bathroom in case I would throw up or gag and I had to take it in the room with the nurse watching me,

Awkwardddddd,

AND the only flavor they had was Lemon-lime! Yucky!

I discretely gagged my way through it, trying my best to keep it down because then the test would be canceled.  

wait an hour, 

thankful for the many trashy gossip magazines they had laying around, 

kept burping it up,

trying so hard not to have it come back up, 

made it to the last hour and I survived!!! 

I ate my granola bar as I was leaving the room.

I didn't get sick,  Adalyn seemed to love {or hate?} the drink, and now we pray that I passed!! 

Thanks for all your encouraging words!! I am so happy this is behind me!

I did enjoy seeing the couples come into the hospital with their bags, and watching all the dads leave with the gifts and bags to load up the car for their ride home with their new bundle of joy and thinking that will be us in just 3 short months!

I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still pretty bad! 

I hope to never have to go that long without feeding me and baby again :)

Glad it went well! I failed my one hour test by TWO points so I had to also do the 3 hour test. The one hour wasn't bad, but the 3 hour was just plain awful. I started getting all shakey and green and a nurse had to take me into a back room so I could lay down on a bed. Haha!

glad to hear it went well. I didn't like that part at all. I failed the 1 hour gluecose with both my girls and had to do the 3 hour one which was torture!

Good! Glad you made it and hopefully you don't have to take it again! I had to do it THREE times because I kept throwing up, I had horrible sickness throughout my pregnancy.
