Healthy

Okay, dogs are now healthy, and so am I. I had an appointment on Monday and I did the glucose tolerance test. It came back with a really high count. So yesterday, Logan and I went to the Hospital to have a more extensive test done. If you do not like needles, skip this part and read the end of the blog. I do not like needles but I have to write this so I can't skip (darn). Anyways, when we got there, they drew blood and checked for a normal reading and it was. Then I drank that wonderful glucose cocktail (yes, I am being sarcastic). Then 30 min. later they drew more blood. Then 30 min. after that, they drew some more. Then we waited an hour and they drew blood for the third time. Okay, I had to fast for this test so not only were they draining my blood supply but I had zero energy to go on. So as you can imagine, at this point, I was getting very queezy. The nurse asked if I was okay and I told her I really felt like I was going to puke. She decided maybe she ought to put us in a room for the next hour and let me lay down. (Good Idea) So I rested for an hour and Logan rubbed my head and talked to me the whole time until I fell asleep. (Thank you for that. I was releived you were there)Then the nurse came and drew blood for the fourth and final time. Logan and I got to see the results and they looked really high so we were a little nervous about what the Doctor was going to say when he got them.

So after all that, we went and had a little lunch and then went home. I pretty much rested the rest of the day because I really did not feel well. Once I woke up though, I was feeling much better. So I heard from the Doctor this morning and.......
I got the all clear. The readings were fine however, I was advised to watch what I eat because they were a little high. But I am healthy and so is our sweet angel.

So what does this mean for me???? Well, I have to give up my nightly routine of milk and cookies before bed and no more cherry cokes or ice cream sundaes. But I know my baby is well worth the sacrafice. I will wait till she is her and old enough and then she and I will share ice cream sundaes and cherry cokes.

So that is it for now. I am 31 weeks today and we now have ahout 9 weeks left. HOLY COW THAT IS NOT VERY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
