Baby Showers and Sweetness

Andrew and I just got back for a mini vacation to Illinois... Had lots of fun visiting family and had a wonderful baby shower (I'll post some pictures to Facebook later). I had my gestational diabetes test on the Monday before we left, and Wednesday while we were driving I got a call from my doc saying that I 'failed' my 1 hour test... So today I had to go in at 8a, after not eating for 12 hours, and have my blood taken 4 times over a 3 hour period. I feel that 4 vials of blood is excessive for a glucose test... can't you just prick my finger and write down the number??? Sigh. Here's hoping I 'pass' this test...
