Glucose Tolerence Test at 28 weeks
This Monday morning was my glucose tolerance test. I took Angelique with me and and 2 drawers full of scrapbooking supplies. (I had to fast for 12 hours before drinking the glucose drink. They took my blood first to test what my sugar count was before I took the drink, I consumed the drink and then they tested my blood every hour for 3 hours after that.) From 8am to 12 noon, Angelique and I put together 30 pages of pictures. I was feeling OK for most of it and started getting a little hungry and shaky by the end. I took Angelique to JB's afterward to hand in her coupon for a free kids meal. I devoured a hamburger, but I was still feeling pretty shaky and funny-strange. My body is so not use to that much sugar(100g) in one sitting nor going that long without any food. Jileigh babysat the other kids. She made them scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast and then put on a movie for them. She did a great job of taking care of them while I was gone.

They must do things differently here. I could eat normally up until one hour before drinking the nasty syrup. They sent the bottle home with me the previous appointment and I drank it one hour before they drew my blood. No big deal. Sounds like your experience was a pain in the neck. They also did it at 25 weeks.
i'm impressed with all the pages you got done!
hate those tests. hopefully your results are better than mine were last time.
(my word-verification for this comment is "fraggle" - how funny! remember the fraggles?)
