Wait - What?

When I was engaged I lurked on this little website called "The Knot.com". Now that I am PG, I get to lurk on a website call "Thebump.com". For those of you that don't know, it's a website filled with a bunch of PG women talking about their pregnancy. For those of you that do know...once you are done laughing, then keep reading!

So anyway, I was eating lunch today, lurking, because I never really post and was reading about all these girls taking their 1 HR GT today - or 1 hour Glucose Test. I get to take my test on Tuesday. I'll have my test at 27 weeks, along with my final round (hopefully) of blood work. Between the GT and the blood work, they are basically testing for gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

I never thought twice about this test! My doctor told me to come in about 1/2 hour early for my appointment, I'd drink something really sugary that tastes like McDonald's Orange Drink and then go do my regular routine. Why is everyone on TheBump freaking out about their tests? Is it really bad? One girl said, "It doesn't taste that bad." Others were saying things like GL (Good Luck). What?! Good Luck for what?

I'm going to try and forget about it. This is one of those times that ignorance is bliss. I'm 26 weeks PG, feeling GREAT and have NO idea what lies ahead of me. Cheers! ::raising glass of what I think will taste like McDonald's Orange Drink::
