Glucose: The Monster Inside

So I had an early glucose test done (the one hour) because both of my parents are diabetic. And guess what?

I failed. Miserably.

So I’m going in Monday morning for the 4 hour test. Oh yay! I’m dreading the fact that I have to fast after midnight the night before and then somehow try to function (without my sweet, life saving saltines) for 4 hours after I get up in the morning. Oh I’m also dreading the fact that they are going to have to FIND a vein 4 different times within’ a 4 hour period. Do you know how long and how much trouble she had trying to find the ONE vein last time? A LOT.

I’m torn between deciding whether I should get a new OBGYN or not. I’m not happy with my OBGYN’s nurse. The OBGYN herself is fine but the nurse? She is a mean, mean lady. She actually, in her own words, said I “tanked it” when she referred to my high blood sugar level. I don’t know if I mentioned this yet or not but I am a FRAGILE PREGNANT SOUL. My emotions CANNOT be toyed with right now!

So I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet. I need to decide soon because the OB already sent me paperwork telling me what my monthly payments to her would be and also when to start mailing my payments to them. I thought having a baby was all sunshine and rainbows?? What? I was mistaken?

This weekend, Gene and I will start our car shopping. I’m kind of hoping we have a new car by the end of this month but I’m not going to hold my breath on that. We’re going to look at the Honda CR-V and see what kind of deal we can get on that and the financing. Luckily I married a WONDERFULLY smart boy who is going to take care of all of this so that his Sweet, Amazing pregnant wife does not get overly stressed out. Because of the baby. Don’t want the baby to be too stressed. What? Lime sized fetus’ can get stressed. Seriously.

After that, I plan to rest and learn about low carb diets. All of these good and bad carbs really confuse me. I just wanna EAT stuff, dangit. Oh and I might even do some sewing. Might work on making some burp cloths and POSSIBLY work on finishing my quilt.

Wait a second… Did I mention that my sinuses still hurt? THEY DO. They’re awful. It comes and goes. Last night I was in horrible pain and had to go to bed at 7:30 PM. Yes, I HAD to. And then this morning they were fine so I figured it was just a small flare up. But over the course of the day, it has become unbearable again. I hate these stupid sinuses!! I haven’t scheduled a doctor’s appointment because everytime I think about it, THEY ARE NOT HURTING ME. And then 3 hours later? BAM! Horrible pain again.

  1. Maybe the nurse was having a bad day? Either way YOU need to be comfortable and feel cared for at your doctor’s office.

  2. Payments? What kind of payments????? I mean, don’t you just pay your co-pay when you go to your office visit and that’s it?

  3. I am sorry that you are not having a good pregnancy experience. That really sucks. Hopefully things are better today at your apt. Best of luck. Let me know if I can help you out with anything.
