Labwork

I spent all morning yesterday in the lab (literally 9am - 12:30pm) and all afternoon in bed.  I was there for a 3 hr glucose tolerance test to see if I have gestational diabetes.  (A friend pointed out that just what I needed was another health condition to manage, but we'll cross that bridge if we get there.  At some point, what's one more thing, right?)

Anyway, thank goodness for my mother-in-law.  She watched littleA all day.  My hubby had originally planned to stay home & watch him, but after a hard day at work on Monday where they upped a deadline by a full month he called his mom to see if she could watch littleA at the last minute & she agreed!  Woot Woot!

I knew I'd respond poorly to the test; I've had a few of them done in the past (not pregnant) & wasn't able to drive home, so we planned ahead this time.  This lab was great, too!  They had a place to lie down (instead of just sitting in the waiting room chairs for 3 1/3 hours) - I even slept for about a hour between blood draws.  But still - 4 tubes of blood, no eating since the night before - it left me drained to say the least.  I was so thankful to go home, eat some lunch & jump in bed.

Picked up littleA around 5:00 & had a surprise waiting for me!  Hubby had taken over 2 loads of laundry for his mom to help with & they were sitting in the laundry basket - clean, folded & ready to go home.  Wow!  After that, a pretty normal evening until about 7:30, then early to bed.  Now, just praying that this test comes back okay.
