mamajoanI have just finished eating my peanut-butter sandwich that was, will be, will have been (whee, tenses are fun!) my last meal/snack before beginning the fast for the gestational diabetes test. Technically I don't have to start fasting until midnight, but I plan to go to bed before then. I ate my sandwich and I'm going to finish getting ready for the morning and then go to bed. Maybe I'll even get some sleep before I have to get up butt-early in the frickin' morning. Urgh.
I managed to convince my mom that it made the most sense for Isaac to sleep over at her house, so that's where he is now. I don't think mom was thrilled with it, but at least this way she and he can sleep till at least sort of their usual time, rather than being forced to get up super-early with me. Mom will take Isaac to daycare at her leisure, and it's a load off my mind not having to factor in time tomorrow morning to deal with him.
I told the folks at work that I would "probably" work from home the rest of the day after the test is over with. That way I can just come home after the test and then see how I feel. Others have reported feeling shaky and "off" for hours afterward, so I didn't want to commit to driving straight to the office. I can always decide to call it a sick day and just rest up until it's time to go pick up Isaac from daycare.
I've packed a bag with some books, a couple of sudokus, and a bunch of food to stuff into my face as soon as the test is done. I've laid out my clothes for the morning, so I guess I'm pretty much ready. Whee.
To be honest, I'm not optimistic right now, despite all the reasons to be hopeful, and all the many many people who have told me how they (or their sister, daughter, cousin, best friend, etc.) passed the 3-hour test with no problem. I just have a bad feeling about it all. But I'm trying to stay upbeat and que sera sera....
Wish me luck!!
