can't focus...

I can't focus right now, so blogging is the obvious option, right?

I'm taking my final in 2 hours. I'm so excited to think that in a few hours I won't have to worry about school again for a while. I can focus more on getting things ready for baby girl (I'm 29 weeks now! We're getting closer!) I can't wait to get this class done. I was planning on stopping at the store on my way home and picking up a bag or two of Cadbury Mini Eggs, but then yesterday I got a call saying I failed my 1 hour glucose tolerance test. Tomorrow morning I get to go in and take the 3 hour version. Guess I shouldn't celebrate today by loading up on sugar, right?

I'm not looking forward to the three hour test tomorrow. While the fruit punch flavor isn't too bad, I'm not looking forward to sitting in the lab for 3+ hours. I'm not looking forward to fasting for about 12 hours. And I'm DEFINITELY not looking forward to paying for 3+ hours worth of parking so I can do this. I guess one plus is that it means I get to read for like 3 hours, and I can read a lot of Harry Potter in 3 hours. Hopefully I pass the test with flying colors and don't have to worry about going to another doctor or shaking up my diet. Gestational Diabetes isn't the end of the world, but I can't imagine adding more diet restrictions on top of what we limit already for Chris.

So here I am. Now that I've cleared my mind a little I should probably get back to reviewing for my final!

Good luck on your test! So that's not good about the glucose thing... Maybe it was a 'glitch' of sorts and the 3-hour test will show normal results. Praying for you!

Hope all goes well for you! I failed one of those quick tests and then passed the longer one. Just don't eat any sugar and especially don't drink any sugared drinks. I think that's why I failed my first one. Let us know how it goes!

Have a high protein meal before you start your fast and drink lots of water if you can. Hope it goes well!
