Yesterday, I overdosed on a glucose drink to see if I have Gestational Diabetes. Everyone says that this drink is disgusting. But I think it just tastes like Orange Crush that has no carbonation. The Kaiser Lab serves it cold and you have to drink it in under 5 minutes. An hour later, two tubes of blood were taken from me. The doctor's office called today and told me the following...
No, I do not have G. Diabetes. Infact, just the opposite - my body processes sugar extremely well and fast. My glucose level after an hour was suuuuper low they said. Meaning: I can get hypoglycemic very easily. I am supposed to eat every two hours. And I need to balance protein with sugars every time I do eat, so that I don't "bottom out my glucose level".
Also, the nurse said that my blood-work indicates I am Anemic. I just knew it! So I am supposed to now add an iron supplement to my diet every day.
One more thing from yesterday's Prenatal apt. Our doctor showed me how to feel where the baby's head is inside me. That was really, really weird becuase I had her little skull piched between two fingers. Brett did not like this at all. He felt bad that we were harrassing her in her nice cozy little world.
Happy Birthday to my Mommy! She is 65 as of yesterday. Love you!!!!

Also, we had a maternity photo session with JK Studio on Sunday. The photographer was one of the crew who did our wedding photos. Here are a few teaser action shots, but the real photos will be available to buy online through the studio's website later on.
