This morning Christine went through her three hour test for gestational diabetes.
They drew her blood, then had her drink 10 ounces of glucola on an empty stomach, having fasted for the previous twelve hours. Her choice of orange flavor was an improvement over last week's lemon lime but taste aside the stuff made her feel very sick.
Blood draws were repeated on the hour until four draws in total were taken. Not noticeable at the time but very evident later in the day, either the first or third draw had left Christine badly bruised.
No results will be known until tomorrow.
