adetheridge I am so jealous. I have my glucose test right after school today so I probably shouldnt stuff my face with ALL THE CANDY AND TREATS that will be at our preschool Valentines Party. GRRRRR. OB said eat however I want up until an hour before the test...and now that I think about it, I have been shoving my face with candy all week so maybe I SHOULD eat all the candy and treats...
sunshyneshay I was going to get a latte this morning but now I want a shamrock shake!
***the fact that I have my glucose test today has me nervous about both of these decisions...
Just drank the Orange syrup nastiness myself. Honestly, have the candy. It's your pre-reward for going through this test. Ugh. Gross.

I made the mistake of asking DH's opinion...of course he says "Don't eat any candy and you better not eat the donuts!!!" This is just cruel.
So happy that after 2 long work days we have no school today, or Monday. We are heading to go see my visit my husband today, we haven't seen him since Sunday. We are meeting halfway in Branson for he weekend. This is the first time we have taken our son anywhere over night/out of town so this could be interesting. Also, I got word I passed my glucose test yesterday which is awesome! I was worried I'd have to do the 3 hour one again.

Camping out at the lab this morning for the 3 hour glucose test. They said my doctor will have results in 2 business days, but I'm expecting GD diagnosis since I bombed my 1 hour and my mom had it. The lab tech is very sweet and friendly. As she was chattering to distract me from the 1st needle (I'm not good with needles) she asked how far along I am (26 weeks). "Oh, you don't even look pregnant! Just a little fat!" Um....
On a better note, I went to bed really early last night so despite getting up twice to pee, I got almost 8 hours of sleep, which is making me so happy

amylee545 I saw that you were supposed to get blasted with more snow this weekend. What the hell did Boston do to piss off Mother Nature?? Lawdy. Here is hoping it misses you,
We're at -33 (Celsius) with the windchill. Winter needs to bugger off.
Wind chill is a bitch
I hope the TTC is more reliable than usual for you today! I drove in due to my GTT this morning and am sooooo glad I didn't have to walk from Union to my office.

A random piece of PSA from my doctor about the glucose test: For the 2 days leading up to the test, eat complex carbs. Whole grain breads and pastas, potatoes, etc. Complex Carbs pass through the digestive system, then are broken down into glucose. This then will prep your pancreas for that sudden jolt from the glucose test.
He said too many people try to eat too light before the testing, and that will give you failing results 7 times out of 10 unnecessary when you don’t even have a GD issue.
- In the middle of the night, DH stole my body pillow. When I retrieved it back from him, it was as flat as a pancake.
- I woke to a horrible Charlie Horse! I tried grabbing my foot and pulling it towards me, but my stomach was in the way. Ouuuuch.
- I slept wrong, and my neck is a mess this morning.
- When my alarm clock went off, I wanted to murder someone. How the hell is it already 6:30a?! I felt like I took a 15 min nap.
Oh man I used to get THE WORST charlie horses when I was pregnant with DD! Like actually waking up yelling in pain ugh. Luckily nothing with this guy yet but I'm not holding my breath.
@allybells - UGH. That sucks.
I got them really bad with DS1. Restless Leg Syndrome moreso with DD. With this one, I am getting BOTH Charlie Horses and Restless Leg. Is it May, yet??

stargazerlily, I took my 3-hour test on Monday after failing my one hour miserably. I thought for sure there was no way I was going to pass it, especially because I had fasted for the 1-hour one, which you don't have to do. Imagine my surprise when my nurse called and said my readings were all normal! So, there's hope - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hope your test goes well!

Interesting! It's a good thing all I've been craving lately is carbs!

I'm on my 12th day of working at the lab in a row... and getting really cranky However, girls night tonight (seeing 50 Shades)- then my little sister is coming into town tomorrow morning to tour colleges in Boston. Too bad we are getting another storm- I am hoping her interview/tour at Northeastern is still on for Monday- she is sooo excited!.... which also means that her preggo big sister is going to be lumbering around campus with her in the snow- let the embarrassment begin hahaha
Starbuck128, hope you and the birthday boy feel better!
@stargazerlily, I can't believe someone would say that. I'm so sorry.
My random- Every time I see animals I start crying. Last week there was a mouse running in our driveway towards the woods but the 2.5 ft of snow made it impossible for him to get out of our drive unless he made a tunnel. This morning there was a bunny running in the field at the end of our street. It's super cold today so I'm still crying about it. We spent the day at my parents' house last weekend and when we left their dog looked sad, so I cried the entire 20 minute ride home. Lord help me if a Sarah Mclachlan ASPCA commerical comes on... I may never recover.
Starbuck128-so sorry you and little guy are ill. Happy birthday to him and hopefully you all feel better soon petrichor- holy geez 2 months! Thats so exciting sunshyneshay- I totally just called my DH, who works right next to a mcdonalds, and told him if they had them already he better be bringing me one on his way through town! My absolute favorite but, they usually don't have them until March.
My random- The state fair here just announced Def Leopard, Styx and Tesla on Aug 15th. I can't decide if I want to risk my boobs bursting to be at the concert, or if LO and I will just hang outside the grandstand most of the night to listen
