Glucose Test & RhoGam

J and I stopped by the doctor's office today.

Turns out I failed my 1-Hour Glucose test that checks for Gestational Diabetes. I'm going in for the 3-Hour on Monday morning. The 3-Hour test is more accurate and will give me more of a yes/no answer about if I have GD or not. My mom had GD for both of her pregnancies, so I will not be surprised if I have it. :-/

Apparently I just get to the lab (after fasting all night and morning) and sit on my butt for 3 hours while they make me drink the sugar-drink and draw blood every hour. I definitely can't forget a book!

Oh and I got the a$$-shot of RhoGam for my RH negativity. Wow, that one stings!
