28 week check up

I passed! This week was my glucose test, and I passed without cheating. I had to drink this "nasty" drink, wait an hour and then have blood drawn to check how my body responded. I have quotes around nasty because I actually found the drink to be quite tasty. The nurse handed me the 8 ounces of fruit flavored goodness while some other onlookers waited to see my face twist in disgust. The nurse even gave me a time limit of 5 minutes to drink this stuff. Thirty seconds later, I was handing the nurse an empty bottle while my doubting onlookers sat puzzled. It was a good visit. Four more pounds gained and Boomer's heartbeat is still in the 150's. From now on I'll be going to the doctor every two weeks. YIKES!!

On a completely unrelated note, if you have school-age kids, please help them learn how to be more sneaky about cheating. I miss the days of libraries and encyclopedias. I can't tell you how many research papers I had that still had the website hyperlinks underlined and colored in blue! I do love the copy and paste feature, but at least I make it look like something I typed. Please remind your children to click "Edit," "Select All," and then change the font color to black before printing. I'm not encouraging cheating, but I am encouraging being more aware of the features available in Microsoft Word.
