Glucose test

I think I am getting the pregnancy flakiness in force. I showed up too early for my appointment on Wednesday to get my glucose test done. I could have sworn the lady told me to drink the orange sticky fluid at 7 and be there at 8 for a blood draw....turns out she said drink at 8 and get blood drawn at 9. I drank at 7:20 and then had to beg them to take my blood at 8:20....luckily there were office staff there early to set up and read files who took pity on my confused and dazed state. The glucose fluid wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...tasted a little like flat orange soda. I did feel kinda sluggish all day afterwards though. I took the day off from school to rest after marathon parent teacher conferences. We did 5 hours with quick running pee breaks on Monday night and 4 hours on Tuesday afternoon and still didn't get to see all the 8th grade parents who wanted to talk to us. Only one parent said something kinda strange....she wanted to know how pregnant I was and when I told her she was surprised because I was so big...all she kept asking was, "Is that normal?" Hmmm...do people think that I would still be walking up 4 flights of stairs to teach their kids or meet with them for hours on end if that wasn't normal? All the other parents wished me luck and said nice things about having kids...very encouraging :)....well except the one who said on her way out....TAKE THE DRUGS....I did and my daughter is fine....TAKE THE DRUGS!

After the glucose test I had a regular appointment and everything sounds and looks great. I guess I've gained 18 pounds so far as measured by my doctor appointments. That's supposed to be good. We still don't want to know whether we are having a boy or girl. People like to tell me they are sure it's a boy because of how round and ball-like I am shaped...I like to tell them that when I am getting jabbed and kicked I am sure they are right. Little girls don't kick their mommies, do they?

Another flaky thing I did on Wednesday is double park the car out front to take a few groceries out and then go inside and hang out and eat lunch....only to wonder 3 hours later where I parked the car. I looked outside and there it was...still double parked :). I went out to move it and the lovely officers in my neighborhood had ignored my lapse in memory...no ticket! yay!
