First of all, this is HILARIOUS! I took mine a couple of weeks ago–and I am SO glad I don’t have to do the 3 hour one. And, I can totally identify with the heartburn issue. Thankfully, it’s still only occasional for me. Good luck with these last few weeks!

Wow… sadly, what stood out most to me in the whole entry was the whole raised eyebrow, “next time? There’s going to be a next time?” thing. Yeah, there just MIGHT be a next time, fella, and you are no longer invited. (uh, for the medical care part, not the making of the, uh, you know what I mean.)

I’ve heard about the jellybean version, but with the twins they let me just drink OJ (I promised them the sugar water would not stay down, assuming I got it all down to start with.)

Yay for twelve short weeks!

Wow, time flies! You are almost done!
It might not seem like it, but pretty soon it will be time.
The Jellybean test uses a particular brand and size of jellybean and you have to eat 18 jellybeans in two minutes, which still seems better than slurping that other stuff down in ten minutes!

My midwives let me eat Reese’s Pieces, which are surprisingly hard to find around us, but I’d rather hunt them down than experience the glucose drink.

Totally agree on the Edgar’s wife reference. She was my favorite character in that movie!

I just got a little queezy remembering downing that juice stuff. YUCK.

MY doctor let me eat a King-Sized Snickers bar. Not kidding. Do you know how hard it is to eat that whole thing within 5-10 minutes? You’d think it wouldn’t be a problem, but they don’t call it king-sized for nothing.

Still, WAY better than the drink, or sitting in an office for an hour.

I can’t believe they let you take yours at home. I had to go to the blood lab place and drink it there and sit there for an hour. I asked if I could run out for an hour and do some errands but they said I was not allowed to leave the building as per their policy.
