Give Me Some Sugar

Today I had to drink the dreaded "orange drink" and had to have my blood taken to see if I have gestational diabetes.  Come on people! Every pregnant woman I have spoken to says the drink is disgusting, they talk about how they had to plug their nose to drink it, they say the drink made them want to vomit. My response to those women is now "toughen up"!  The truth is that the drink is not bad at all!  It tastes like a sugary version of orange soda (which I like) without the carbonation.  I have heard so many horrible things about pregnancy and for the most part, they did not come true for me and if they did, they weren't that bad. I love being pregnant! This orange concoction just gives pregnant women another reason to complain about something.  Get over it ladies!  I can assure you that in comparison to being a mother and delivering a healthy baby, this orange drink is just a tiny hurdle and one more step in the process of getting closer to meeting the newest member(s) of your family!
