Oh Hospital, please stop drawing me back to you

Brutally honest or a big baby?

Okay seriously.  I now know i am a big complainer.  

SERIOUSLY.  

WAH WAH WAH that is all i do.

I went in for my glucose test today.

You are supposed to fast from 8p.m. the night before until the test is finished.  

Sure, no big deal.

I thought...

So this morning, i am like DROOLING looking at food.

I can't seem to get breakfast foods out of my head.

Oatmeal

Pancakes

Fruit

Cereal

Moons-over-my-Hammy

nom nom nom (as my brother would say)

Mind you that i DON'T eat breakfast, at least not before i was pregnant so this should have been no biggie.

I am pretty sure it's because i knew i couldn't eat that i wanted to so bad.

Anywho, i get to the hospital 

she pricks my finger

makes me drink some grape juice

we wait an hour...

easy as pie right?

nope, not for the drama queen

I passed out

yup, i straight got hot and dizzy and blacked out.

Here is the cute part...

Right when the nurse helps me to a bed and i lie down, my timer goes off telling me an hour has passed and my hour is up.

The nurse back in pricks my finger again and i think i am done.

I whip out my sandwich and start munching while looking for water thinking that i am dehydrated and hungry

I realize that i am going to HAVE to drive myself home and concoct a plan to pull over at the first thought of feeling under the weather again

I ask the nurse if i am free to go and she tells me no.  I still have another hour to go!!!

WHAT?!?!

NO

I regretably inform her that i have now consumed food as i thought this was a one hour test and i was finished.

NOPE.

I'll be back on Tuesday to redo this whole ordeal again.

:)

*Braxton Hicks
*Increased clumsiness
*Englarged Breasts

Here is the funny thing about all this.
I have friends who warned me that pregnancy isn't all fun and games,
but when you have baby goggles on,
they plug your ears too!

Oh, and you may be wondering...

"What ever happened with her incredibly embarassing story?  Was that just a one time thing, never to be brought up again?"

Nope.  

Unfortunately for me and my booty that was not a one time thing

In fact, a story similar to that has happened on many an occasion since then

I just have not gone to the hospital again

...

Until this week.

So it happened 3 times in 3 weeks.

I finally couldn't stand the pain and the utter draining of my energy this often so i asked Nick to take me to the doc as EMBARRASSING as it is.

He asked a series of questions

I explained that i push so hard i throw up

That i have no energy left after or during

That i am drinking water and eating tons of fiber

and lastly that i get the priveledge of using the bathroom once a week.

This is apparently not what he wanted to hear

"ONCE A WEEK" he (and the patient liaison because of course there wasn't just the doc and i there) exclaimed.

I am now on a laxative, oh joy, what am i, 80?

Here i go to get some prune juice...
