The test results

Okay, remember a couple of days ago when i said th ob doctor's office called and said that I had gestational diabetes. Normally, after failing the one hour test, you woul go and take the 3 hour glucose test to make sure you have it. The ob said that since I failed so miserably I should just skip the three hour test and go straight to the endocrinologist. So I set up an appointment for last Monday, got a babysitter, and went to the endocrinologist. I sat in that stupid waiting room for 45 minutes and then in the actual room for another 45 minutes only to have this doctor tell me that I need to take the 3 hour glucose test that my ob said to skip. Now you must understand that Monday was a hectice day. I had dropped the kids off at the Hall's house, gone to my appointment at 2:00, and I needed to be back to my house before 5:00 because we had to go over to the Floyd's house for dinner,not to mention my mom was going to be at my house to babysit at 4:30. Needless to say, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off! I ended up getting home at about 4:45 barely catching my mom before she left again.
So yesterday, I went to the my ob and took the 3 hour test. Talk about not fun. I had my blood drawn, drank the nasty drink again, and then for the next three hours on the dot had my blood drawn again. Blech!!! So I had my blood drawn 4 times, but I have four needle holes in my arms and hands because I do not have veins that cooperate very well.

Anyways, the doctor's office called me this morning and told me that I...okay, you have to understand I do not really have the time to deal with the whole gestational diabetes. I have to count my carbs, remember to prick my finger a couple of hours after each meal, and possibly give myself insulin shots. It was hard to remember to do all that stuff with just one kid, I can't imagine what it will be like to do it with 4 kids. Well, like I said, the nurse from the doctor's office called, and told me that although one of my levels was high, I DO NOT have gestational diabetes!!!! One level is completely normal to be high. Talk about a roller coaster ride! I was so excited!!!! I'm still completely pumped. I think I might have even screamed on the phone...Whoo-hee!!! So even though it was a completely hectic week at the doctor's offices, it was so well worth it now to find out I don't have it!!! Once again it proves that God answers prayers. I can still drink my Dr. Pepper!!!!! In fact, I think I might go get one right now!!!!
