I failed my 1-hr screening test for gestational diabetes so I had to go for the 3-hr test. :( Luckily for me, no one told me what that entailed! First I had blood drawn, then I had to drink a sugary Kool-Aid like substance. I waited for an hour, had more blood drawn. Waited for another hour, had more blood drawn. Waited for ANOTHER hour and had MORE blood drawn. If you've lost count, that's four vials of blood and two sticks in each arm! UGH! I do not have a good track record for getting my blood taken (I'm a fainter) and so it was hell on earth. Drew couldn't hold my hand this time since he was in school, but at least I was comforted by the fact that my friend, Cassandra (due a week after me) also failed her 1-hr test and was doing the 3-hr one at the same time.
