nurserachel22 I don't like the pain you're in just can sympathize with sciatica! I have been very lucky this pregnancy with everything except sciatic pain! Maybe it's a nurse thing?? :/
Sitting in the lab waiting for the end of this hour long GTT...there is a grown woman somewhere in the lab screaming bloody murder over a needle...I want to go back and tell her with all this crying they could've been done by now! And the nurse in me secretly wants to see if she's a hard stick or not! Happy Monday Everyone!!

I'm doing the same thing this morning! Another hour until my last draw. I feel hungry and nauseous all at the same time. Good luck!
Good luck! I am waiting on my 2nd draw in about 20 minutes. So ready to be done and eat some real food.
Thanks! I'm getting a breakfast sandwich after this before I go to work! Nobody warned me that I would have to drink twice the amount of glucose crap either! Lol.

Are you allowed to drink water at least during the 3hr span? You're almost half way done!
Yes, thank goodness! I drank about 20oz before I started the test and have had probably another 20oz since. I think that may have been a factor in failing my 1 hr... I thought I wasn't allowed to have water but I was... so I had gone without water for the 2 hours prior to the 1 hr and during the 1 hr.
Normally I would super grumpy that I had to go out of the house when it was 9F outside and work today while DH is off but he got up early and made me chai and dug my car out for me. Awww. And he offered to take over the project of attempting to find touch-up paint for our walls, which is apparently the hardest thing ever and has been stressing me out. Plus we're getting a big storm tonight so I'm 99% sure I will be working from home tomorrow. So I'm in a pretty decent mood!
And I didn't even tell my mom in CA to fuck off when she texted me yesterday that they were wearing shorts, though I wanted to.
I just had my draw for my GTT. I now remember thinking I should have taken the day off last time. Thankfully I don't get sick, but the the crash kills me. Also had a growth scan today, measuring 48% so I am very relieved. Now just waiting on my check up and I can get out of here. 3 appointments in 1 is a lot!

Good luck mlbrooks! That's nice that they are letting you have water. For some reason the lab I went to on Friday for mine told me I couldn't, I felt so dizzy by the end of it that I had to sit in the waiting room and down some water and a protein bar before I felt up to leaving. JustinBobby, hope yours went well!
I'm a tiny bit jealous of all of you who are getting today as a holiday or snow day, but I definitely don't miss shoveling snow so I'm counting my blessings here.
linny12 I totally hear you on the one and done thing...I tell DF that this is probably going to be it at least 4-5 times a week, lol. Everyone keeps telling me I'll forget all the bad stuff after I have this baby, but we'll see. And I am very jealous of you only gaining 5 lbs, I'm not even going to post what I've gained here but my doctor is totally on my case. I've started tracking my food on myfitnesspal because I don't understand how I'm gaining this much. My doctor wanted me to stay under 20 lb gain, and let's just say I've gone a little over that. FX all goes well with your baby!
Good luck to all you ladies taking the glucose test! Reward yourselves with a yummy breakfast afterwards
I am finally off work today after working 7 days in a row. Thank goodness for that because I had the worst night's sleep I kept tossing and turning. I feel bad for my SO. He had to work at 7am today and I'm sure I woke him up in the middle of the night. To think this is only going to get worse. 11 more weeks....

Ewww. Good luck to you too girl!!! Get a massive breakfast sandwich too!!! Go big!!
Good luck at your test mlbrooks! I'm sure you will do fine. I was actually surprised at how fast mine went.
Traffic was amazing today because of President's Day. I woke up about an hour earlier than usual because I had to take H to work. His car is in the shop and I don't think we are going to get it back. He said it was making some pretty awful noises on the way to work on Friday.
I see kids at my OB appointments all the time, I say do it just this once especially because you have a good reason!
My doctor and the nurses would love to see him. It's just that I've been blindsided by the worst news of my life in that office and it terrifies me that he would have to experience that. Not that I'm expecting bad news today, but it's always on my mind when I walk in that building.
I totally get the fear. That would make it hard to bring him.
We currently have no water in our kitchen due to frozen pipes. I'm debating between trying to fix it or letting it go until DH wakes up. My goal today was to scrub the kitchen so it's kind of impeding my progress but at the same time, an excellent excuse to be lazy. Decisions, decisions.
Oh bummer! That is super frustrating! Do you have some of the Clorox wipes? I'd just use those instead and try and get some stuff done still.

Just be careful. I ate a hot dog from Costco and a Mocha Freeze and I felt like shit for about an hour after. I got hot and the sweats and felt so so sick. I thought I was going to have to go home from work. I think I just overdid it with all that crap and then the glucola in my stomach. I should have paced myself. FX for good results! Mine only took two days which was awesome.
I hate to rub it in but it is so beautiful here this morning. It's already like 50 and I'm wearing a maxi skirt and sandals. I'm all about showing off these pretty toes while I can. It will be back to rain everyday before I know it. I have to take advantage.

Thanks! Yeah I am trying to figure out what I want to eat... I want protein for sure. They told me my results would be ready in 3-5 days... hopefully it wont take that long.
I got my haircut on Friday after going 6.5 months without one. I was ready to be pampered and was very excited. When I got there, I was placed with a new girl who told me she was 18 and was still learning but does great. I was completely okay with it, and proceeded with the cut. She was VERY rough with my hair. Pulling and tugging and scraping the damn round brush against the nape of my neck and top of my head. When I left, my entire scalp was raw and red and I was in pain for a good 2 hours. WTF?!? My hair looks great, though. I guess that's a plus.
You should have just said something nicely. That way she could be made aware of it. Some people have softer heads than others. No shame! The next lady might not be as nice as you!
I'm excited we're getting our first real snowfall of the year today! I love snow!
(Don't flame me for this. If I was in the NE I wouldn't love it anymore, either)
We haven't had any snow this year either. Last year around this time we had a "big" (for here) storm. It's supposed to be high 50's all week. I'm not sure we will get snow at all this year.
