I Hate Glucola

So I took the 1 hr GTT. I failed it, and now have to do the 3 hr. I seriously hate drinking that stuff, think the test is flawed, and get ill when I don't eat and consume massive amounts of sugar at one time. I'm feeling rebellious. I wonder if I can just start eating the way I have in the past, without the test. Dr is out of the office tomorrow, but I'll call and leave a message or call Thursday.

I'm all supposed to be 'resting' but it's hard. When I want to do stuff I shouldn't and when I'm supposed to stuff I can't! I've decided on one of the middle names if this baby is a boy. It will be Kenneth, after my high school friend Kenny Wicher that passed away last year. I remember his infectious smile, sense of humor (and mischief) and the most remarkable growth spurt I've ever seen! About a foot over the summer of our Senior year! Now to come up with the other two names....

First OB Appt X-Post!

I got to hear the baby's heartbeat with a doppler and even got to see it on an u/s. Looked like a tiny pile of laundry. Not very babyish. I'm only 9 weeks so what did I expect? I feel the u/s took longer than necessary. Next time I'll speak up. I need to get some blood work done and a 1 hour GTT. I hate gestational diabetes!

Still nauseated and wishing the 12 week mark was 100% guaranteed to be the end of the nausea. Then I'd only have 3 weeks left. Although I did gorge myself at a buffet last night. It was weird because I actually felt the least ill I have in a long time! Weird paradoxical effect!
