I think I'm turning the corner on the worst cold turned sinus infection I've ever experienced. Only one of my sinuses is bothering me now, but it's the one right at my eye so the pain is intense.
Probably going to see my mom so she can help me take care of DS since DH is back at work.
Wow you're up early @priss08! Hope your sinus crud is on its way out.
I'm heading to the lab soon for my 3 hour glucose. I already feel hungry It's going to be a long morning. I wish they had a nap room where I could just sleep all morning lol.

Unfortunately the pain woke me up. :/
I hope the test goes by pretty quickly! You should pitch the nap room idea, who knows maybe it'll catch on. Lol

Sorry about the pain Usually my sinus pressure was the worst when I woke up, hope it lessens as you're up and about.
I seriously could fall asleep in a chair right now, I might just go old-person status and tuck myself into a cozy corner chair in the lab office.

My lab did have a room for patients doing the glucose test. I didn't use it because I was on the upswing when I found out, but I just casually mentioned they should have a bed for people to nap and the girl said "we do!" It was news to me!

Do it. Seriously though I've seen women getting the three hour that sleep in the office.
Also you're right, when I stand and walk around a bit I'm better. I just hope today is the last of it.
The lady that checked me in was like "OH... you're doing the 3 hour...let us know how we can help make you comfortable...". With a very "you poor soul" voice hahaha- she told me there's a second waiting room up the stairs so I can stay away from sick people and it's a little quieter.
@priss08 sleeping on an incline helps my sinus issues overnight, if you can rig up enough pillows for that.
mosdub FX the test goes quickly and you pass with flying colors!
It's drastically better than it was Friday and Saturday but if it's still bad tonight I'll probably sleep in our recliner. Not sure why but sleeping at an incline didn't occur to me. I've never had sinus problems before.
I blame getting rhogam during a cold. Probably had nothing to do with it but...I need a boogie man.
erinshelley21, are you feeling better? I also wanted to ask - if I fail this 3 hour what should I expect? Will I see my OB again or just get a packet of info about how to manage it? Will I see a different doctor who specializes in diabetes?

Depends on how much you fail it by ie if they think you can manage it with food changes or if you need insulin. We have a pregnancy diabetic clinic that's connected with my OB's office and our hospital. I check in weekly with an endocrinologist who manages my insulin.
I actually had a pretty good sleep last night. My cold is working its way out finally and I can breathe a bit better, so that's probably why. We turned the mattress too so Im no longer sinking into a groove.
Also, Sundays are bedding change day which is the best. I love the feeling of fresh bedding and wish I could do it every day.
Well... technically I could but who has time for all that laundry and changing a king sized bed is a bit of a task so... I'll enjoy my once a week freshness.

Exciting stuff in the Obi household, obviously!
I dream of a day where DH and I have enough kind sheets to change daily. To hell with washing sheets that often.

I am feeling better! I can breathe through my nose a little better and the congestion in my chest hasn't gotten worse, so I think I've escaped the bronchitis threat!
As for failing the 3 hour, like callmeKD said, it depends on how bad you fail. Only 2 out of my 4 draws were elevated, so we are starting with diet changes first. I go to the diabetes care center at my hospital tomorrow morning and go from there. If you are being referred to another clinic/dr/whatever, take the earliest appt you can. I've been surviving off of pins on Pinterest since last Thursday with no real guidance and it's been difficult. Partially because we need to go to the grocery but I want to hold off until tomorrow when I know what I'm supposed to be eating and what I'm not. If you're being referred somewhere else, ask your OB if she does have any brochures or something to help guide you through the first few days.

FFMC: Our sheets get changed once a month. And that's if I remember to do it. By do it I mean lay them out for the cleaning lady. I'm the laziest of the lazy.
New sheets are the best feeling. H thinks it's because they are tight, but I think they are softer/smoother and less grimey. I'm not on a schedule but probably change them once every 2 weeks?

We change the sheets every other week generally, but lately is has been weekly. We have plenty of sheets - probably 5 sets at least, since the guest beds are both queens as well. So it's just sheer laziness not to do it more often.
I leave dirty sheets on the guest beds until new people are coming to visit. The dog will go in and nap on the duvet anyway, so I pull things up to make them look nice and he can shed all over it.
I had the start of a cold yesterday and it's full force this morning. on top of that, I have 2 different new hire orientations that I have to conduct this morning so a big fat BOOOO to all of that.
Don't let the Tylenol lapse today. I am not really a pain med person but good god, the pressure around my eye is too much. Thankfully when I called my Dr he said it should be over by tomorrow.
Then he said if it gets worse again I'll need antibiotics. Blah.

We're having snacks at our big meeting this morning, so I am happy about that. I also cleaned up my office which was long overdue and I'm so glad I didn't keep putting that off!
