28 weeks* and 3 hour glucose test...

Well, I had my 3 hour glucose test on Thursday morning. I got to the hospital at 8 a.m., they said well you have an appointmet with us at 8, but none of your paperwork is here. They had to wait for my doctor's office to open. By this time, I'm already so hungry because I had to fast for 12 hours, 12 hours with no food wasn't too bad, 12 hours without water, was! Well, finally at 8:45 I was able to have my first round of blood drawn. They took 2 viles the first time, I drank 10 ounces of the glucose drink, then, every hour for 3 hours, I had a vile drawn. It wasn't too bad. I had a good nurse who took my blood, it was just boring AND the cafeteria is by the place where they draw your blood, so for 3 hours, I smelled all the food. I was starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Friday morning around 8:45 a.m., my doctor's office called. Instantly, I was worried because normlly, the doctor won't call unless something is wrong. Well, as soon as I answered the phone, the nurse said she had good news. I passed all 4 test by over 35 points each!!! I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy to hear this! I don't have gestational diabetes, what a relief. Made my day a lot better up until the stupid breakfast at the hotel. That's another story in itself. By the way, I'm in Georgia until tomorrow for our nieces graduation ceremony and party. She graduated last night with 475 other people and she was 38th in her whole class. That's an awesome accomplishment!

Well, one last thing, on Monday, I'll be 29 weeks so here is my 28 week belly shot from the hotel room's mirror, haha.
