We had our 28 week appointment on Thursday before leaving for Disney world. I had to do the 1 hour glucose test, and the drink wasn't that bad. It was fruit punch is ice cold which was the worst part because you have to chug it and I kept getting a brain freeze. We had our 28 week ultrasound and everything looks good. Baby is still a boy which is great! He was weighing in at 2 lbs 11oz. His hands were up by his face so we could get a clear shot of his face when the tech switched it over to 3D/4D. And he was actually sleeping, which doesn't seem to happen very often. After we got back from Disney on Monday I received a call from Dr. Gates' nurse saying I FAILED the glucose test by 2 freaking points. 2 points. You need a 140 to pass and I got a 142. You've got to be kidding me. And of course I can't just redo the 1 hour test. I have to do the 3 hour test. I talked to Dr. Gates about the chance of having it because when I eat sweets, like oranges, frozen yogurt or cupcakes I feel sick afterwards. He said it doesn't necessarily mean I have GD. It could just be from my overall sickness and not feeling great. So, now I have to go on Thursday to do the 3 hour test, which consists of a huge sugary drink, after fasting and 4 blood draws over 3 hours. Booooo. And the best part is that if I puke any of it up I have to leave and go back another day. I don't do well with needles, especially on an empty stomach. Good Luck to me!
