I went for my glucose test last week. And failed. I have no idea by how much, but I had to go this morning for the three hour test. Let me tell you, it was not fun. My doctors office was supposed to call in my orders Friday, so I got up bright and early this morning and was getting ready to go and thought "I should call and make sure I'm in their system" because my doctor's office doesn't open until 8:30. Good thing I did, because they couldn't find me in their computer. Sooo I waited around the house until 8:30 and called and the nurse told me it was definitely in there, but that she'd get it taken care of by the time I got to the lab. So I got there about 9 and there were so many people there. I had already been up for 2 hours with nothing to eat at this point. I finally got back for my first blood draw at 9:30. Then it was time to drink the horrible orange drink. As I was opening the cap the lady says "Oh, be careful, that one is twice is strong as the one for the one hour test." Nasty. It was like pouring a cup of sugar down my throat. So off I went to the waiting room to wait for THREE hours. Every hour the drew more blood. They blew the vein in one of my arms-which is hard to do because I have REALLY good veins...so that was pretty special. I had 30 minutes left and I was sitting in the waiting room willing myself to not throw up-because if I did, I had to start all over. I survived, and my precious husband had a big greasy hamburger waiting for me when I got home. (: The whole experience was miserable to say the least, but like I told Clayton: If this is the worst thing I have to deal with in this pregnancy (which so far, it definitely is) then I really have nothing to complain about. I don't know when I will get my results, but hopefully I passed this one. I'm not sure my poor arms can handle anymore needles anytime soon!
While I was sitting there, I found out that one of my dear friends is having a little GIRL at the end of February! I am so excited! She has one precious little boy and I know this little girl will be just as sweet!
We haven't gotten very much more work done on the nursery. I hope we have it done by the time he gets here! At least most of the painting is done.
We are gearing up for busy season at the store, and it seems to be starting already. Things have been a little crazy around there. We have a big event this weekend called Lufkin's Bistro. They shut down our street and have food and wine vendors all up and down the block. We had such a blast last year, but the store wasn't open yet. We definitely have prime real estate for this year and we are so excited! Lufkin has really come a long way over the past few years.
I guess that's about all I have to report! Time still seems to be flying by and really, I hope it doesn't slow down. I'm ready for Knox to be here! Here is my 27/28 week picture (just in case you didn't see it on facebook) because I am too lazy to get up and take another one for you right now. (:
