I had my second test done today so that Brandon could stay home with Xander. I had to fast again and I got there at about 9:00 and I was starving! He took my blood and then I had to drink another drink. This time it was super suped up! Just thinking about the sugary stuff makes me cringe. I managed to get it down okay, but about 5 minutes later I was feeling pretty crappy. I took a book to read, but I was too nauseated to read it. I spent most of the next hour trying not to barf and walking back and forth from the bathroom to the waiting room. I had to have my blood drawn three more times after that on the hour, which makes for a very long morning. I was proud that I didn't puke, because then I would have had to start all over again.
Because it was Saturday, there wasn't anyone else getting lab work done. Plenty of people walked by several times and they all made comments like, "You're still here!", "Have you been helped yet?", "You've been here all morning". They probably thought I was a crazy person or something, especially when I tried to alleviate my sickness by trying to lay down on the miniature bench they had. I'm really glad that it's over! I do have to wait until Wednesday to get my results, so wish me luck.
After getting three needles in my left arm it was pretty sore and starting to bruise. He moved over to the right one and did the last two there without any problems. This is the bruise on my left arm, it looks worse in person, and I'm pretty lucky because I know people with much worse injuries after getting blood drawn.
The moral of this story is:
If you are pregnant, lay off the sweets!

I would like you all to meet our baby boy, supposedly!

Wow that kid looks nothing like Xander boy! Hilarious though! I really hope you passed that stupid glucose test. Those blow. I'm proud of you that you didn't barf. Barfing is over rated anyway.
I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that.
I love your belly! Its whats in it that matters not what it looks like!
