I’m five minutes into my three-hour glucose test. I haven’t eaten for about ten hours. Who the hell makes a pregnant woman fast for eight fucking hours? I’m here because I failed the one-hour test. If you’ve never taken one, you chug a really sweet drink (mine was orange flavored) and they take your blood [...]

The week I drive to Detroit, have a few panic attacks and get the worst head and throat bullshit cold known to man, AKA Week 28, AKA a really long fucking post.
by Amy on 23. Feb, 2009 in Pregnancy
As you know I’m spending some time with my family in (the) Detroit (area). As you may also know it’s been a long time since I’ve been here — a year. The last time I was able to make it down here, I was playing in a hockey tournament with the Tech Women’s team. We [...]

by Amy on 20. Feb, 2009 in My Every Day
I am thrilled to be spending some time with my family, but honestly, I hate driving to Detroit. It’s not the amount of time spent in the car (TEN HOURS THIS TIME). We make several lengthy drives a year to and from St. Paul, and I love those trips. The difference? The two destinations are [...]
Week 27
by Amy on 18. Feb, 2009 in Pregnancy
I hesitate to even post an update this week because I am annoyed by everything and everyone. I’m even shutting comments off for this post because if you piss me off, I might react unfavorably, like launch this pair of scissors through the monitor. Or your face.

Add this to the list of Things I’ve Never Done Before
by Amy on 12. Feb, 2009 in Pregnancy

One, it wasn’t something I was trying to advertise out in public. Two, everything I’ve tried on until this point [...]
Random thoughts during Week 26
by Amy on 09. Feb, 2009 in Pregnancy
I spent the rest of the morning after my doctor appointment freaked out about gestational diabetes. And then I got on a computer and did some reading. And I am not as freaked out anymore. But WTF, doc? Thank you for scaring the shit out of me this morning. Always a good thing on a [...]
Weirder things have happened
by Amy on 06. Feb, 2009 in My Every Day
This morning on my walk into work I almost got run over by two horses pulling a wagon full of tiny children. While I was walking ON THE SIDEWALK. There would be a picture, but seeing that I have never been nor will I ever be a fan of horses — even the ones that [...]
Week 25
by Amy on 05. Feb, 2009 in Pregnancy
It seems like I have been eating nonstop since I got to work this morning. I’m blaming boredom, as this wonderful technical proposal I’m supposed to be reading just isn’t capturing my attention. What is, however, are the constant aches coming from the area near Ladytown, pressure that feels like Mysterio is trying to do [...]
