Being that I am 26 weeks along in my pregnancy, its right around this point in time that I go in for my glucose testing. If you don’t know, it tests your blood glucose levels and can determine if I have gestational diabetes. Don’t worry, I don’t. I mean, I have no results back or anything, but I never do, and I would be fairly surprised if I turned out with it! That being said, I have my huge babies, and that is a common thread amongst women who do have gestational diabetes, so I don’t fight the test. Its just a nuisance because you have to wait a whole hour at the blood clinic!! Its ok, though, like I said, I don’t mind it that much.
I wasn’t the smartest cookie, however, and I ate some ice cream cake after lunch. This was the last thing I ate before venturing to the clinic. However, I had a few hours to spare in there so hopefully I’m good to go!
Do you know how sometimes, after having blood taken, you can get a super nasty looking gash on your arm? Like a larger than life type of bruise? Well, I did a bit of shopping after my test, and thought it was strange just how sore my arm was. I don’t much care for having blood taken, but even I know it doesn’t hurt that long at all! Once I got back home, I checked my arm, and sure enough, something gnarly and purple is growing under my skin, making me look like a intravenous drug user. I’m not one, don’t worry.
I did some Value Village shopping and got the kids some clothes before coming home. Brady spent the afternoon fussing with taxes a bit, which I greatly appreciate! Now, we’re going to have some delicious homemade breakfast sandwiches and call it a night! I hope you’re all doing well today. I really enjoyed my outing and am feeling a bit better than the last few days. And tomorrow will be good too!! A bit more errand running, this time with everyone, and going to see our house again! I can’t wait!
