Well I left home early today, parked at work and walked over to the lab for my blood work. It is pretty convenient with a medi-center/ lab right next to my office. When I got there it was pretty busy (I didn't think it would be that busy) so I stood in line and waited with everyone else. I finally got to the front of the line and told the lady why I was there, she checked her book and my doctors office had sent my paperwork over but unfortunately I never made an appointment (I didn't know you could?) so I sat and waited for my turn to be called. It went pretty quick and about 30 minutes later they called my name, I had one test tube thingy of blood taken and off I went back to work! Pretty uneventful so far! ;) I can't wait to call the doctors office on Thursday to find out what the levels are! I'm just hoping for anything over 1,000.
There was another lady at the lab that was obviously also pregnant and she had to drink this orange pop stuff, which I'm sure tasted nothing like orange pop. I remember one of my friends mom's also having to take this when she was pregnant and she said it wasn't very nice. And I guess you have to stay there for an hour and NOT pee!! Yeah right! I wonder if I will have to take this test and I wonder what it tests for cause I'm not entirely sure that I will be able to hold my pee for and hour!?! he he - I know it sounds funny, a hour isn't that long! But I've always been an active pee'er and do it often. I like to say I have TBS (tiny bladder syndrome) - I partially blame my Mom, I could never leave a place without making sure I didn't have to "go". I believe that this didn't train my body how to "hold it" like most people!? Now I never leave anywhere without making sure I use the facility first!
I can't believe how addicted to water I am, I can't get enough of the stuff - I feel so dehydrated all the time. I thought I drank lots of water before but now I think I drink even more, which doesn't help my peeing situation!? LOL I'm also not looking forward to the heightened sense of smell cause I already think that there are some pretty stinky things here at work! Like one of our drivers, I already old my breath when I go near him especially when he is eating his lunch! Makes me gag just thinking about it!! And public bathrooms - I'll try and hold my breath for the entire time I'm in them, since not using them isn't an option! he he Hopefully I don't have a super sensitive snout! ;)

hey there lady,
yup you will have to take the orange pop test, it's to test for preggy diabetise which can happen. eg. your SIL if I remember correctly. It tasted like orange pop but not as sweet and its super fizzy so practice your lady like burping if you can. You have only 10 minutes to drink it, and you have to sit there for an hour, not pee (bring a really good book that will keep you rivited) then they take your blood to see how your body has reacteed to the huge amount of suger from the drink or something like that.
I didn't find that smells bugged me to much, but hey thats me, my sniffer isn't all that sensitive anyway, so good luck with that. But I also didn't work in a situation where smells could bother me, well the staff lunch buffet at the hotel didn't do me much good once in while I guess.
Luv you and take care of yourself and your lima bean.
