My day today was pretty much nothing but frustrating for me! Let me explain the MAIN 3 reasons why (in order of occurrence & annoyance, coincidentally):
1* I FAILED my 1st gestational diabetes test so I had to go back in this morning to do the 3 hour long one. The fact that I had to take another test was not the problem (since the condition I had before I got pregnant, PCOS, made me insulin resistant & it's fairly common to have gestational diabetes among PCOS women... not that big of a shocker). The problem was I showed up @ 9:30am so that I would have plenty of time to do the 3 hour test & get to school on time. Mind you, this is a fasting test so I'm already STARVING! Well, I waited 45 minutes before they even called me up to look at my orders (AFTER I told them I was there for the 3 hour glucose screening when I signed in)! SO they drew my blood, I drank the drink, & had my blood drawn every hour for the next 3 hours. The REALLY fun part was they had to stick me @ least 2 times every time they did a draw (just because my veins are small & like to be uncooperative) so now I look like I've been shooting up heroine!
2* Since they started my test late, I was late to school. Normally, not the end of the world, but TODAY I had to do a group presentation to the class on the virus that causes chicken pox & shingles. So I was STRESSING the entire way to school worried that I would be late for my presentation, while I'm trying to INHALE some food! Well, once I get to class the first group was just finishing up their presentation; my group is next... WHEW! We go up to do our thing & find out my spacey teacher didn't make copies of our outline for the class, so she decides "Oops... you guys can just go Wednesday & hopefully I remember to copy them tomorrow." After all I went through to get here...ARE YOU SERIOUS???
3* I spent the majority of my weekend reading, writing, & ultimately perfecting a respiratory case history that was due today. Let me just say, I was very proud of my efforts & the out come of my paper (it was like our mid-term). All the time I'd spent thinking of nothing but Valley Fever & Tuberculosis this weekend turned out to be a waste when my teacher decided to announce at the end of class that she was extending the due date for 2 MORE WEEKS so we would have more time to study for our lab practical. OK, that info would've been more helpful on FRIDAY since our practical is this Wednesday & I could have used my weekend to study for that instead of focusing my efforts on the stupid case history!!
One positive thing that came from all my frustrations today... since I had 3 hours to kill I was able to finish reading the 4th book in the Twilight series... I love happy endings! I had a little bit of an epiphany, & I just want to say that I can totally relate to Bella's perspective about being over joyed that she & Edward REALLY will be together FOREVER!
It's a little sappy & pathetic but I couldn't help but think of the promise that I will have Anthon forever; He'll have me forever and we'll have our baby forever!! There's nothing better in this life than to have that knowledge & blessing!!

WOW, what a day. I love happy endings too, though. Glad things worked out somewhat well... :| Sydney and I love that picture of you two, by the way. I don't recall having seen it before. She got all excited and said, "Anthon, Nash!"
Hey first off congrats on the baby. I just saw your blog off of someone else's. That would have been such a frustrating day though but at least something good came out of it... looks like you guys are doing so good...
That's quite the day!! This is Natalie (Pearce)! I'm so excited to find your blog! Mine is dallasandnatalie.blogspot.com
Seriously, when it rains it pours! Glad that day is over for you. I loved the way the Twilight series wrapped up too! Nothing like a happy ending.
