3 Hour Test

I survived! Yay! I had the same lady taking my blood so that was nice. She had to take it four times. The fourth time was a bust because my vein collapsed, so she went to my hand (where I would have preferred in the first place). I almost passed out before the last one. She said that was because of the orange drink I had to consume at 9:15 in the morning. Yuck. Hopefully I won't hear from the nurse on Monday. That's what I'm going with on this one.

I'd like to state for the record, that this is the meanest test EVER for a pregnant woman. No eating after 10 pm the night before and not being able to eat or drink anything until after the test? That's well over 12 hours of nothing (considering you finish dinner earlier than 10pm).

On the plus side? We went to Portillo's (conveniently located across the street from the hospital) for lunch (Portillo's is a really YUMMY hot dog/burger/pasta place. Seriously. It's good.) I actually ate a little over half of a cheeseburger!! It was so damn good. I even ate some fries! This was the first burger I've eating in quite some time! It was so yummy! I was afraid to over-do by eating too much and getting sick. That's one thing I've learned is to stop eating when I'm full...go figure!
