I finally got ahold of someone who listened to me. I can take the test over again if id like to. If the test comes back high again i will just head on down to the diabetes center. I dont understand why it was such a big deal for me to retake the test if i want to. But i’m glad that i finally was heard.
My gestational diabetes test came back a bit too high the other day and I am having the worst time dealing with it. You see, they want me to come in for a 3 hour test. The thing is Mike cant get off any more work to deal with that, we need the money too badly. So, they offered me the option of doing it on a Sat. But i still cant do that because there is no way i can fast for 12 hours. I’ll do it, but i’ll puke and or pass out. so, that option doesnt work. therefore they just want to send me down to the people that deal with diabetics. i would like to retake the one hour test that i took initially, but they are being very stubborn.
To top this all off, the midwife that I spoke to that was on staff is very disrespectful. She kept saying “because you WONT take the 3 hour test…” It’s not that im refusing to take it, i just cant. There is still a high chance that i do not have gestational diabetes. I dont eat that many sweets, but you better not take them away from me. I would like to speak to my regular midwife about this, but she is on vacation right now. Instead, im speaking to someone ive never even met who i do not get along with at all. this is all so frustrating.
I’ve finally hit my 3rd trimester and I am excited for “baby” to finally come out and join the rest of us. The heat has really been getting to me, especially without an air conditioner. Edrie gave us a big fan and that has worked miracles in our apartment.
My brother Sam is heading out to boot camp in the next couple of months. I’m going to miss him so much, we have been good friends pretty much all our lives. He is also going to miss baby Kioski’s birth. But, he doesnt exactly get to choose when he leaves. He told me he doesnt plan on ever moving back to MN. He never got along with my parents either and I highly doubt that he will miss them. I think the baby will be one of his main motives to come back and visit.
So, everything is going well. Mike has a steady job and I’ve been keeping busy. (And I’m looking forward to Erik and Rhea’s wedding and move!)
