Not doing so well...

Over the weekend, I received a lovely birthday present! I got a wonderful feeling cold! Of course, I am being sarcastic because I havent been feeling the greatest lately. Monday is my day to tutor and I had to cancel my tutoring session for today because not only will I not feel up to tutoring this afternoon I also dont want to get the little girl sick! Topping everything off, today was the day of my glucose testing at the doctor's office. Well, since I've been sick I probably should be drinking more water and juice than normal, yet I couldnt! I didnt have an appetite last night but had to eat something anyways because I couldnt have anything to eat or drink after midnight. I would then have to fast until after the testing was done this morning. So you can imagine how miserable I have been! I woke up and wanted something to drink but couldnt have anything. Daniel and I always wake up early during the work week and I make him breakfast and say goodbye to him, then after he leaves Landon and I will eat breakfast and take a nap. We woke up early, but this morning I couldnt eat or drink anything...so I laid down and took my nap and when I woke up my mouth was even dryer! Oh...that was not fun!
I went to the Doctor's office and was scheduled at 8:45. I got there just slightly late...maybe a few minutes late, and didnt get called back til around 9:10! I told the sweet girl that was going to be doing my testing that I am sick because I didnt know if that would affect the test. She didnt think it would and I told her that I was thirsty. She gave me the fruit punch sugar drink that I had to take for the testing. It was only about 6 oz. and she apologized saying that was all she could give me. I understood and didnt want anything to mess the test up because if it did I would have to do the testing again!
After I got done drinking the sugar drink I had to sit in the waiting area for 1 hour til I could have my blood draw. After about 30 minutes I came to remember something that used to happen to me toward the beginning of my pregnancy. I started to feel crappy and had to get to the bathroom fast. I had to just sit down on the tile of the bathroom and just wait a little bit. My body would need the cool air so I had the vent on in the bathroom and my face turned pale. This happened twice at the doctor's office and then finally I reached about 1 hour and was able to have my blood draw and be out of there. That was so nice when I could leave because I just needed to eat, take my medicine, and drink something.
Anyways, if you could especially pray for Landon and me that would be great. I hope my little baby doesnt feel as bad as I do.
