On September 1, I failed the one-hour glucose test for gestational diabetes by four points.
With all the obvious disclaimers about my desire to do whatever is best for the baby, I was pretty bummed. Mothers who fail the one-hour test have to do the dreaded three-hour test. This test involves fasting for eight hours prior and then four blood draws over the course of three hours. Nothing too strenuous, just dull. I was not excited. I scheduled the new test for September 16.
The lab opened at 7. I got there ten minutes early and was first in line. People who have to fast for blood tests are not messing around with the timing – there were seven people in line before the lab was ready to being processing us.
I was the first to be called back for testing. The nurse was very nice and as she was talking to me about the process for the day, she mentioned that they have a recliner for people who feel faint. Oh really? Could I sit there now if I promised to move when a fainter needed the chair? Thus, I got to spend my three hours in relative comfort.
Between blood draws, I made lunch plans. I was scheduled to be done at 10:30 and most lunch places don’t open until 11. However, I found a pizza place nearby that would serve my post-fasting blood test needs. I headed straight there and ordered two slices of pepperoni.
I had plans to meet Will that afternoon to buy a car (!!) so I had two hours to kill. I decided to walk south along the lake to our meeting spot. The view of the skyline from North Pond never fails to excite me.
I wove my way over to the Zoo largely because I needed to use the restroom. As a pregnant lady, I’m learning where all the reliable bathrooms are. This is probably good training for when I have a child.
I love the new nature walkway along the South Pond just south of the Zoo. The skyline is just magical.
Despite seeing it in many awesome Chicago wedding photos, I’d yet to visit the honeycomb structure to the east of the pond. It’s pretty cool. I’m filing it away for later when I’m taking family photos or something (though seriously, if you are getting married in the city, stop here).
Chicago was just gorgeous. I had such low expectations as I entered into the three-hour glucose test, but the day turned around completely as I wandered through Lincoln Park.
(It kind of cracks me up that you can see my arms and part of the honeycomb structure in my sunglasses here. That selfie is a keeper.)
Also, I passed the three-hour with flying colors.
