dreaded shots

I gave Chloe a shot at home for the first time by myself. We were a good team and after she screamed and cried I did it! Then after I cried we had a big hug. I am not going to get use to that. She did really well though, no wiggling or kicking. I told her we are a team and we will get through this. She is good at being talked into doing things she doesn't like. Her blood will be taken today and we will see if she has to go down to the hospital or gets to stay home. I have to go get tested for gestational diabetes. I heard this news yesterday and thought 'when can I go and get tested for four hours when I have a sick child at home. And what if she has to go the hospital?' I wonder if I did the test wrong cause an hour before I drank the drink, I had orange juice for breakfast. I don't know if that would effect the outcome. Anyone know? Well I might have to do shots into myself, good thing I know how.

I think the orange juice can mess up the results. My doctor with Rachel said I had to be fasting or eat nothing with sugar (like maybe an egg) Maybe they'd let you retake the drink before you go for the 4 hours...love you! Cindy
