So, one of the many joys of being pregnant is getting to take a bunch of tests which usually involve someone drawing blood. (I especially love it when they try to have a "student" take your blood because they're learning and the student is sweating bullets, but that's another story).
I'm taking the GTT (AKA the Glucose Tolerance Test) to see if my body will go into toxic sugar shock upon drinking the bottle of orange stuff (above), they will draw blood, analyze and hopefully say I'm fine. I've heard it tastes nasty, but my OB assured me that if I stuck it in the refigerator it would taste yummy!
And, unfortunately all the tests you take during pregnancy: You can't study and cram for them! You either pass or fail!

Yum....Glucola. Everyone told me it was gross, but really its like a slightly sweeter version of Sunkist soda. The only downside is you drink it on an empty stomach. You'll do fine!
No, it was pretty much nasty. I think it was bad because I had a light lunch, then couldn't eat anything for two hours, then had to drink that nasty orange stuff within five minutes, then had to wait another hour before eating anything. I should have had a heavier lunch.
