Project 38

Testing testing....  Last night Jonah and I visited the lab like we usually do when we are in town.  But this time I had Adam draw my blood to run some tests.  I love being able to get free lab work done.  It's all about who you know he he.   I think this is the first time he's drawn my blood that I didn't bruise.  In his defense he doesn't draw blood very often he just runs the tests.  After Adam drew my blood Jonah and I left.  I had to go to a meeting at church.  I made some yummy oatmeal craisen cookies for refreshments.  In case anyone is wondering about the recipe, because I know I would be here it is:  http://www.quakeroatmeal.com/qo_quakerKitchen/recipes/recipe.cfm?recipeID=461&RecipeName=Famous_Oatmeal_Cookies&toReturn=L3FvX3F1YWtlcktpdGNoZW4vcmVjaXBlcy9TZWFyY2hSZXN1bHRzLmNmbT9TZWFyY2hUeXBlPWtleXdvcmQmYW1wO0tleXdvcmRzPSZhbXA7Y2F0ZWdvcnlJRExpc3RfMT02JmFtcDtjYXRlZ29yeWlkbGlzdF8yPSZhbXA7U3RhcnRSb3c9MjY=
After my meeting we went back to the hospital because I was very curious as to what my test results were (well I was actually just curious about one test result).  I just couldn't wait the 20 min it takes to get home.  Jonah was happy because he loves going to visit daddy at work.  We get to the lab and Adam gives me my results.  He starts out telling me that my cholesterol is good it's 178 and my HDL was 46 he goes on to tell me my glucose was a little high it was 109 but that doesn't really mean anything, because this wasn't a fasting blood test. I had baked potato salad before coming to the lab so I wasn't suprised.  Well at this point I'm getting really frustrated and just want to find out the results of the one test I was interested in.  So I make Adam tell me where my results were so I could look myself.  When I looked I was sooo excited my HCG was 38.8. In case anyone doesn't know what HCG is: The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (better known as hCG) is produced during pregnancy.  Meaning I am just barely pregnant and due sometime late June.

I wouldn't exactly say the testing is free, there are certain services rendered. Like cookies!
