A nasty fall, and my GTT

So I haven't started 28 weeks off to the best start. Last night I went to hospital after falling up my stairs. We have stairs going up from the kitchen, and I some how managed to fall. I landed on my bump, and I have badly hurt my leg. So off we went to hospital and baby was given a good check over. All is fine.
I went back to hospital today, for my glucose test.
After the first blood test I had to drink this awful orange drink. The taste isn't too bad, but the texture is awful.
I always have trouble when I have blood tests. So the midwife asked a doctor to put a canula in which she tried. The only problem was my hand began to swell, so it couldn't stay in. In the end she put a different canula in my left hand.
So I was stuck with that for 2 hours. During my wait I was given a scan, just to confirm everything was fine from the fall and it is. The sonographer confirmed what we already knew, that baby is sure a boy. He said he was 100% about that. I then went back to get my 2nd bloods done, to find out that she couldn't get the blood from the canula. So I had another needle put in my wrist, but she got the blood.
So that was my busy morning. Tomorrow I have my 3d scan, and I really can't wait. It has come around so fast. I am so excited to see what he look's like. I guess I will have to start making tracks to bed now, as we all have an early start tomorrow.
