Well it looks like they weren't lying when they said we were going to get a "paralyzing historic blizzard." Totals for the total storm were around 18.5", the bulk was on Tuesday night with drifts from 5-10'. Needless to say I got a nice snow day on Wednesday. Chris has actually been sick since Sunday night, so he was not thrilled with the 4-5' drifts covering the garage and front door. He managed to get us all plowed out though. I did a little shoveling; the boys needed a few paths in the backyard so that was my duty! No worries I took it very easy and laid in the snow and played with them for awhile.
Here's a picture from our garage, you can see that we lost the Audi for a bit! Gotta love living in Wisconsin!
This is a picture of a drift near Chris' office, pretty wicked!
Back to Baby news, I received the results back on my 1-hour Glucose Tolerance test on Monday. Unfortunately, I didn't score where I needed to so I'll be taking the 3-hour test next week on Tuesday morning. The range was 50-140 and I scored a 146. This doesn't mean I have Gestational Diabetes, that's what the 3 hour test should determine. I'll be fasting for 12 hours prior and then not be able to eat for the 3-4 hours I have to sit in the clinic (yes, they don't let you leave). They'll draw my blood right when I get in then make me drink the sugar drink and draw my blood every hour to make sure it's eliminating the glucose properly. If I fail 2 out of the 4 blood draws then it will be determined I have GD. Hopefully I'll get the results back right away so I can discuss with my doctor at my appt. next Friday. Cheers to drinking another orange sugar drink :) Prayers for good results are requested!
