The dreaded Glucose Tolerance Test. Ugh.

I have my 2 hour GTT tomorrow, which means no food or drink or antacids from midnight tonight. I'm hoping that, because I had lost a lot of weight prior to getting pregnant this time around PLUS the fact that I'm eating a (mostly) healthier diet will mean that I'm not developing Gestational Diabetes this time around. Then again, not losing weight from morning sickness in the first trimester has meant I've already gained MORE weight at 25 weeks than I did by 40 weeks with Taylor. Fail.

It's not a train smash if I do have it, but it certainly puts a dampener on my Chocolate Nesquik and Frosties habit.

On the plus side, wee man will be at his Grandad's tomorrow whilst I'm sitting in the room with half a dozen other hungry hormonal women, and whilst they will be fighting over the remote control, I can just sit there, with my knitting, and just work away until the blood draw at 11am. Very productive. I might even just get the rest of that sleeve finished, if I don't cock it up in the meantime. 

The rest of the week is fairly busy in one respect or another - wee man overnighting with Grandad Tuesday onto Wednesday because hubby has a bloody early start on the Wednesday morning as he's been called to Stirling for the day; then on Thursday I've got a midwife appointment to discuss the happenings behind Taylor's birth (because I was so doped up on morphine I missed half of it) and what we can do to have a happier time of Minion's; then Friday we have the weekly shop to do and then I'm offski to see my bezzie for an hour or two just after lunch for a wee catch-up and to see what cute things she's been making - she, of course, is the pint-sized genius behind Becazzled :D

And in between all THAT I have stock to make for my own little page, including baby bunnies for Easter. There's a steady trickle of business coming in, which I'm happy with. Don't want to be run off my feet, but still need that tiny stream of income to pay for my own personal yarn habit. If things are still going well come April, I will probably take the plunge and declare myself self-employed, even though it means paperwork of complicatedness and whatnot, plus an extended break whilst Minion makes a baby-shaped dent in our lives. There's only so much you can do as a hobby before it becomes "Income", after all.

That's all for now. If I have GD, you'll hear about it on Tuesday, most likely. FX'd?
