Round Two of Glucose Testing

I flunked my initial glucose screening test last week. I've rarely flunked any test in my life, so you can imagine how disappointed I was. At least they allow you a make-up exam. So I had to go in to my doctor' office at 9Am today after having fasted from midnight last night on, immediately having some blood drawn, then drinking a glucose solution that contains twice as much glucose as the stuff I had to drink last week (blech!!), waiting an hour and having more blood drawn, waiting another hour and having more blood drawn, and waiting another hour and having more blood drawn. I feel like a pincushion and look a bit like a heroin addict. I just hope the test comes back negative, in which case I'm going to celebrate by having a cupcake or something else with sugar in it because I've been avoiding anything sugary for the last several days. This avoidance of sugar was particularly not fun when Josh and I had to skip the chocolate fondue last night when we went out for our Valentine's dinner at a fondue restaurant. If the test comes back negative, we'll have to go back just for dessert. If it comes back positive, I guess we'll have to wait until after Baby Cook makes his appearance.

Ugh! No sugar on Valentine's Day?!?! That is very sad. I hope you pass the re-test with flying colors!
