Now you see it;

Now you don't. The things you do for your children, or children to be. This is the most despised drink for pregnant women. It could be much worse. It could be root beer flavor. This is the first time I've ever had it in a plastic bottle. It's usually in glass. Maybe that will help improve the taste. Yeah, right. This is the drink that helps determine whether or not you have gestational diabetes. I would assume it would tell you if you had regular diabetes also. THe first time I had to drink it with Blake, I failed the blood test afterwards. Then I had to go for the three hour testing at the hospital and drink more of it. I failed there too. So I had to watch what I ate and start prickin my finger. Then with Luke, I failed at the doctor's office, and just said to forget the three hour blood test. Then the pricking and the diet began again, and that time I actually had to give myself shots. Blech. Thankfully, God decided that that was enough for me because with Jakeb and Kaleb I didn't have the gestational diabetes. I'm praying that I don't have it with this one either. However, as I'm guzzling down this drink, I distinctly remember there being a carbonation flavor with it, and well mine....is flat,so it's basically like drinking really sweet, flat pop. (I'm officially a Ohioan now because I just wrote pop on my blog. Floridians call everything Coke. I'm so sad about this.) It's been sitting in my regrigerator for a month, and the boys keep trying to drink it because for some reason they think it looks tasty. I keep telling them that it's medicine, but they don't seem to buy it
Eric summed the flavor up best. He said it tasted like McDonald's orange kid's drink, maybe a little sweeter. And no, I didn't give him any. I was just describing the horrible flavor to him.
