Waiting and waiting and more waiting!

I don't think I ever want to drink an orange sunkist ever again.  After I chocked down the orange glucose drink today I made up my mind that I do not ever want another orange drink again.  It is so sweet that it burned my throat.  After I got it down, I cleared my throat because it was buring.  I heard the nurse from the other room say "Are you ok Mrs. Hill?"  "Don't throw up.  We will have to start over."  I was not going to throw up because I did not want to do this again! I am still waiting for my glucose test results.  I went to the dr. last Thursday (July 7) to have my bloodwork for my glucose tolerance test.  Well....I FAILED!  I passed the one hour test with Kinsley with no problem.  Like I have been saying since the beginning, this pregnancy has been COMPLETELY different and opposite than my first one.  I went in today to have my 3 hour test and let me just tell you...it was purre TORTURE!  I was so hungry by the time that I left.  I had to be there between 7:30-9:00 am.  I arrived around 7:45 to get the show started.  I thought that it would be easy after they took the first bit of blood from my arm.  Wrong!  It's not like the one hour when you give blood from your arm once and then the prick your finger for the results.  Oh no! They had to take blood from my arm 3 more times after they got the first bit.  My veins look scary and I HAVE to wear short sleeve shirts.  So like I
said earlier, I was so hungry that I thought I wasn't going to make it while sitting there for 3 long hours!!  I had not eaten since last night!  To make matters worse, all of the nurses in this office were talking about food like the entire time I was there.  Fresh fruit was the topic of conversation and I could feel my mouth watering.  I hust really wanted some strawberries and pineapple.  That was happening though.

I have been home for a little while now and I still feel like I am starving.  I went through Taco Bell and inhaled my food like I had not eaten in a week.  It had only been 14 hours!!!  That food didn't stand a chance up against me!  I don't know when I will get my results but I am praying that I pass.  If not, I am going to have to go buy all new groceries.  We are not set up here for a diabetic to eat and survive. 

I would like to say thanks to those who have called, sent cards, and prayers our way.  We appreciate everything and would not have made it this far without the support.  Please continue to send the prayers for Tripp and our family.  God is sending us down this long, uncertain path for some reason that we do not yet know.  We may never know but we know that we must take this path and make the best of it.  This whole pregnancy and "Tripp" that our family has been experiencing is just a small bump in the road.  We are looking forward to what Tripp will bring to our family!  Again thanks for everything!

We go back to Augusta July 24 for our appointment on July 25.  Also been going back and forth to Albany for Physical therapy about twice a week.  Uugh!  This has been a very busy pregnancy!
