Doctor's Appointment


Tuesday I had my monthly doctor appointment and my 1 hour glucose test to check for gestational diabetes.  I had to drink my “fruit punch juice” 30 minutes prior to my appointment.  For me that meant I would have to drink it on the way to the doctor’s office.  I am now officially convinced that Scarlett is taking my brain cells because I left my house without my stupid drink.  Luckily I wasn’t too far from home to run back and get it. 

I have to admit I was kind of worried about my results seeing as how my old evening glass of wine has since been replaced with my Klondike bars and DQ blizzards.  I also knew they were going to test me for anemia since the last go round I was borderline…So I “studied” for this little test by taking both my prenatals before my blood work.  I figured this way it would either give me a true picture of “how bad or how good” my levels are.

Wednesday was 4th of July but the office did call with my results on the 5th…I passed my glucose screen- Big Surprise- But failed my anemic screen…
For preventative measures I have been limiting my blizzards and Klondike bars and now have to take iron pills.

Also, I am now at the point where I have to go back every two weeks!
