27 weeks
Today I am 27 weeks, which I think takes me into the third trimester. I had a bit of a rough start... my 1-hour glucose test (which screens for gestational diabetes) came back high on Tuesday, so today I went in for the 3-hour test. I had to fast for 12 hours, go in this morning and have my blood drawn, and drink the glucola. After that I had to have my blood taken at 1, 2 and 3 hours. I was a little worried about having to go 16 hours without eating, but I did fine. I don't think the glucola tastes too bad (although it would have tasted better cold) and I didn't have any adverse reactions like nausea or dizziness. (Must have been all the prayers going up on my behalf.) I was able to leave the doctor's office in between blood draws, so I ran a couple errands and hung out with Brandon & Hudson, which made it go faster. I was very happy at 11:50 when my last blood sample was taken, and the 3 1/2 of us went to Cafe Rio for lunch! Now I'm just waiting for my results and crossing my fingers that they're normal.
