My friend Tamiel is due with her 4th the day after I am due with my 4th. We both failed our first glucose test, so when we realized we needed to do the big dog test, we scheduled it on the same day. Arrive at DR at 8am...get blood drawn. Drink 100mg sugar drink in 4 minutes, then blood drawn on the hour the next 3 hours. We spent that 3 hours hanging out, reading a magazine, chatting, and by the end we were quite loopy from our sugar high/blood drawing. We may or may not have been a little bit obnoxious in the waiting room full of people laughing loudly.
Here we are with our arms taped up from 2 different draws. It was fun to hang out with a friend during that time. As of Friday, she passed, and I haven't heard yet from mine. Keeping my fingers crossed. By the way...those who don't know, the glucose tests for Gestational Diabetes.

I hope everything turns out ok. :) That is nice that you didn't have to be bored for three hours.
I am glad you had someone with you. I hope things go ok. By the way, I did say that about the Holy Ghost. Why?
you look so good Kristen.
I failed my first one with Kacey and barely passed the 3 hour! Hope yours comes back negative for GD.
Oh I look terrible!! I look like all my color is gone! Is that what happens to me when I fast and then drink a huge load of sugar? Uggh! Let me know how your test went. :)
no fun to have a blood draw but at least you had a friend to hang with.
I know I'm kind of late to post, but how are you doing? What did the test show? You don't have diabetes do you...let me know. I'd love to help any way I can.
this is pretty funny. i don't know many people who have their glucose test documented on camera :)
