After our Dr. Appt we headed to the lab to take my glucose test to (hopefully) rule out gestational diabetes. We're not really looking to top that 19lb baby! I had been warned about the awful sugar drink you have to endure for this test so Travis and I decided this should be captured for the blog. Maybe it was the fact that I hadn't had sugar in a while in preparation for this test, but I didn't think it was as bad as everyone made it sound. It was basically just a slightly sweeter Sunkist drink (ok, in full disclosure it definitely made me feel icky but that passed as soon as I was able to eat something salty).
You have to let the solution absorb for one hour before you get your blood work drawn so we pre-registered with the hospital and went on a tour of the L&D floor and the Women's floor to be as efficient as possible with our time. Touring Labor & Delivery was fantastic...I feel so at ease with this hospital after seeing everything we should expect. Each room is a suite equipped with baby warmer, fetal monitor, etc. so that you and your baby never have to be moved to another room (except for c-section of course). Now we just have to sign up for a few classes through the hospital and we will officially be ready for December!
