Test results

I had to go back to the doctor this last week to do my glucose test and to get my rhogam shot. I had to drink the "orange soda" and wait an hour. I thought it was going to be boring, but luckily my friend Shiara (who is due the day before me) was going in to have her glucose test the same day. So we went together and spent the hour waiting and talking. It turned out to be a lot of fun. She went in to have her blood drawn first and conspired with the nurse to come out telling me how painful it was. Well, she was right, it did hurt, but not as bad as the rhogam shot. After telling Shiara goodbye (she didn't have to get the shot) I had to head up stairs and get a shot in the back of my hip (my bum!). That one was more painful, but at least it was quick. Hopefully this will be my last shot of this kind (after birth our baby will be tested to see if she has the same blood type as me, if she does we're safe, if not I get another shot). Later in the week I found out that I passed the glucose test (yay!), so I don't have to go back for the three hour test and also that I don't have gestational diabetes (can someone pass the cookies?). Now the only reason I won't be sitting by the cookie jar is my reluctance to gain 40 pounds. I did find out that my iron level is still low even thought I've been taking iron suppliments. So I've got to start taking more and with something high in Vitamin C so it will be absorbed. It's a good thing some yummy fruit is now in season, that makes it a little easier. So I guess I should be saying can someone pass the oranges?
