Glucose Tolerance- Round 2

This morning Nate and I finally crawled out of bed after snoozing for an hour to drive into centro for my labs. We tried to do this last week but neither one of us wanted to go and since we have both determined that Dr. J has a crazy streak we didn't think the labs we too pressing. Needless to say this morning we were both tempted to post-pone the test again.

Good thing we did snooze because the lab changed location. Luckily the website was finally updated and we got the new address but unfortunately they didn't update the hours. We arrived right at 7am for the doors to open and already four people deep in line. A woman starting telling me that I was in the wrong place in line to get my number and that this other guy should be in front of me.... uhhhh, ok. Could she not see that I was pregnant and I get to cut in front of all of them so it really doesn't matter. After I did what she said I talked to the lady and the front and was the first served :) I didn't make any friends this morning but who cares when you know you have to be there for two hours. Nate wants me to be pregnant forever while we are in Brazil for all the preferential treatment we receive which deserves a post on it's own.

Then it was time to pay but they take cash/check only now where they used to accept debit/credit. I talked to her to let me start the test that way Nate could run to the ATM.... simple right? Wrong. On the fourth ATM Nate attempted to withdrawal money from he finally found one that had money. I just don't get that three different ATM's throughout the city can just not have money? Even the ones at the bank! O'well, by the time he returned my test was done and we could go home. I doubt that Nate wanted to wait with me anyway and I don't want to wait with him while he continues to wake up.

The test itself suck as usual. The fasting is terrible by itself but then you drink an extremely disgusting sugar drink. After that Belle went crazy! I should have video taped my belly and all the weird things that were going on. About an hour into the test I started to get really dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out. I think that was the sugar crash. My body probably freaked out with all that sugar and dumped a large amount of insulin. Then tried to stabilize a little late. Either way this test does weird stuff to me. Same thing happened last time.

I just hope that since I have been such an ass about the whole test that it really does come back negative! I will find out in four days so I have a few days to feel good. Can't worry about something you don't know right? Well off to do some laundry and other things to keep me busy and useful.

Tchau,
