For all of you who will be pregnant sometime in the future, make sure you get good advice before doing your initial glucose screening. I had to take the real test yesterday and it completely wiped me out. The initial test could have been thrown by what I had eaten during the day...like that Lindt truffle or the chocolate milk I couldn't resist. After failing, I was asked to go through the more extensive testing. This involved fasting for 10-12 hours and hanging out in the hospital waiting room from 7am to 11am to get my blood drawn every hour after drinking the overly sugary drink. We came home, ate, slept, and then I failed at trying to feel normal for the next 5 hours. Hopefully, the results will be good this time though.Our little man moves so much! Today in church me and two other sisters were completely distracted from the lesson because my stomach was contorting so much. I couldn't resist laughing, and they were able to see the movements from as far as two seats over.
Other than my rant about the glucose test things are going really well for us. My students love their new class pets: leopard geckos. They named them Squirmy and Spartacus and take turns caring for them on the weekends. Matthew and I enjoyed firing my little pistol and a Tommy gun after mudding in the Jeep on our Monday off. Matthew is continually trudging through the mess of interviews and resumes while staying on top of school. And I just try to get extra sleep whenever possible. As cliche as it may be, life is good!
