Today I had my blood drawn 5x for a Glucose Fasting Test. The Fruit Punch was terrible!!! I don't mind the Orange but I was on the verge of some gagging while drinking that. I had to sit in the office from 8:00 am to 11:30 when I got my last poke. It was okay, I brought magazines, my journal and caught with old friend Kim Vogt...she cracks me up! We've got a Mexican Lunch in the works here soon. They drew blood at 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30. The first 3 were done by Kim and the last 2 by her co-worker. I appreciate them making sure they could find a vein, as I am not good with needles and the thought of drawing blood out of my body does make me a little uneasy. But I am praying for good results and for a healthy baby on Thursday :) I want to thank everyone for their continued prayers, kind words and for the "just checking on you" that really make this seem easier. I wanted to share some words that I've received from friends and family....
"This healthy baby has a little guardian angel now"
"You'll notice as your baby grows their extra energy, changes in personalities could only lead you to believe that the other baby is living through them at certain times..."
"It is with God now...it has done no wrong and got a clear pass to Heaven"
Thank you everyone!!! xoxo God Bless!

Kelly - I had to do that long glucose tolerance test too! I wasn't very smart though because I brought nothing to do to pass the time. I just walked around the hospital between sticks. Hope it all turns out well!
I love that you posted the words of encouragement. It shows how many people care and love you and your family. I am thinking of you guys and hope your test goes well.
Kelly,
I used to work in the lab here in Lafayette...I gave the glucose tests regularly! I know how much pregnant women hate them! The juice is so bitter and just gross! I want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! I pray that you get great results on Thursday as well! Take care and god bless you and your family.
