Friday was the day. It went well. She measures well. Oh and I have actually put on 6 pounds! I kept telling myself it was okay to put on weight since I am knocked up! Since I've lost somewhere between 20 and 25, 6 isn't so bad. I had to have the glucose icky test done. Just the drink the icky orange drink an hour before having my blood drawn.
************************************************************************************
The nurse called Monday...I failed. Damn it. I go on Good Friday for the 3 hour test. It worries me though because I have very shitty veins. Chuck was laughing at me on Friday. The woman who took the blood was awesome in the respect of getting me to breathe when she said too. I tend to hold my breath...because it hurts like HELL! Next thing I know she's saying, "Keep your eyes shut, keep your eyes shut. I've got the needle in but your blood isn't coming out. Keep breathing through your nose. Keep your eyes shut." Like I wasn't going to listen. COME ON!! That's even after I drank a crap load of water before the appointment. I can't drink water before the 3 hour appointment...it should be interesting to say the least!

A couple of weeks ago I met my friend Susan who had a bunch of maternity clothes for me. It was awesome, just like Christmas all over again going through the bags. I actually have choices for shirts for Easter and the baby shower! Woot woot! Thanks Susan!
One, maybe two pairs of my sweat aren't really working at this point, but I'm wearing them anyway. I understand the need for the panel at this point since the baby or I don't seem to enjoy being cut off in the middle of the belly!
I'm officially pregnant. (Yes I've been in denial) It's getting harder to get up off chairs and off the sofa now. Bending over ain't so pretty. Denial has been nice, until now. It's over.
I think that is it for updates!

I don't do well with the whole needle and taking blood thing either. I have to lie down and have someone hold my hand and completely distract me conversation or something. Yeah, even after two c-sections I'm still like that. You'd think if I could survive that....
So now's about the time that the whole peeing in the cup thing gets more interesting too, eh?
I remember getting to the point that putting my socks on was nearly impossible. Then I would get them on only to discover that one was inside out.
Getting pee to actually land in the cup at that point was luck, sheer luck! There was no way I was gonna see what was going on down there!
Hope your next test goes well!
MGM.
It's nice to know someone shares my feelings on needles. Especially after 2 c-sections. I'm so not looking forward to it at all. I've got either Chuck going or a friend of mine. I'm not going alone, that's for sure. I'm not ashamed to admit, I will cry if it doesn't go well. LOL.
Yeah. Peeing in the cup. Interesting. Also, drying my legs after a shower. I noticed I've started grunting while I'm trying to do this, then I just have to laugh. Getting out of my car is interesting now also. It's a 4 door car, but a car just the same. Especially with parking in the city and the streets kind of angle the wrong way to help me out. It's a big ol' grunt at that point. The scary thing? I know it's only going to get worse!
Thanks for sharing! That makes me feel a lot better!
LOL! I forgot about the car thing. As I was reading your comment I had flashbacks of when I would swing the car door open from the inside, and I'd have to swing that thing hard to get it open WIDE...so that it wouldn't close on my legs as I ooooomphed my way out. I didn't want to have to start over when I was halfway there already! I'm sure I caused lot of door dings in parking lots around town.
