Daniel and I went in Friday afternoon for my Gestational Diabetes and Anemia testing. I was dreading it for a couple reasons -
1. Being there for an hour!
2. I've heard the drink is not so good!
3. I was scared I'd test positive!
So time actually flew - I had my standard checkup in between the testing time - so that helped. Anywhos - so I go in to get my drink - she gives me this 12 oz bottle that looks like orange soda - low and behold - it is orange soda! :D It tasted delicious! I was ready for a second bottle - downed that sucker in 2 minutes! I also spent the next hour burping - thanks to the carbonation - but yum yum! :)
Anywhos - took my test an hour later [one draw for the diabetes and one for the anemia [I always enjoy watching them draw my blood. It fascinates me:] - and that was that. They told me the doctors office would only call if the tests came back positive.
Well we get home and about two hours later - they call. AHH! And of course of all the times my phone decides to NOT ring - this is the time. They also called at 5 to 5 and I saw the missed call at 5:07 - call back - they're closed. NOOO! I listened to the message and it was the standard "call us back on Monday."
How mean is that!? I've already psyched myself into thinking I have gestational diabetes - and they go and give me more proof - then leave me hangin! Blah!
Well luckily the weekend went fast. I called a bit ago and they told me I'm a little bit anemic and to just start taking an iron pill [why they can't tell me that on the message - I do not know]. They also told me my glucose test came back just fine - so no worries there - sigh - that's very good.
So yea - I'm very happy I don't have the gestational diabetes. I've read if you have it during your pregnancy - your likely to get diabetes at some point in your life. Boo to that! Daniel said he'd give me the shots if I had it though XD
But yea - yay! :D
