I was supposed to do my glucose test yesterday. I fasted overnight, drank a bottle of super sweet soda (it's called Glucola and it tastes like bad Sunkist), and rushed to the lab so they could take my blood an hour later. Unfortunately, the lab in Fremont doesn't do this test on Saturdays (contrary to what they told me at my doctor's office), so I drank a disgusting soda at 7.30 am for nothing. :( Plus, I got a bit lost on my way to the lab, so I was really stressed by the time I got there. The Fremont lab wouldn't give me another bottle of Glucola; it's prescription only, so my doctor has to approve. It's a bottle of nasty cheap soda, for goodness sakes! The good thing to come out of my failed test was that the Glucola really got the baby going, so Gary got to feel him kick a lot.
In other pregnancy news, I have grown out of my first pair of maternity jeans. I'm actually kind of glad, because I've been wearing them nearly every day since the middle of February and am very tired of seeing them. Just in time I grew in to another pair that I had bought a few months ago, but that still only left me with one pair of pants. Gary took me shopping yesterday and we found a pair of off-white trousers and white short overalls. I have several skirts, but it's too cold where I work to wear them yet.
