i passed!

had another appointment on monday, including the glucose screening to see if i have developed gestational diabetes. had to drink the horrible sticky sweet orange goo and give a blood sample an hour later. the nurse taking my blood only had to stick the needle in once this time (as opposed to stabbing the heck out of my arms last time.) however, once she was in there she dug around for a while (painful!!!) leaving a massive bruise on my arm. i hate hate hate giving blood and almost passed out this time. the nurse said she hoped i passed the test so that i wouldn't have to go through the even-worse second round of testing. fortunately the dr's office called today to let me know i passed. yeah! no more giving blood for the duration of this pregnancy! woo hoo! unfortunately, i am still anemic and have to start taking the massive horse-pill iron supplements again.
