28 weeks 5 days

Hope everyone had the most happiest of holidays! I know we did. This is the first year in 5 years we were able to go home and be with our families without having to rush back the next day. I got the ok from the OB and off we went.
Dec22- I was at the lab bright and early for my GDD test and urine screening. So many people warn me that the drink is horrible, but I didn't find it that bad. When we were done, it was time to make our quick 6+ hour trip home. Now let me tell you that driving that far while almost 7 months preggo, probably wasn't smart. Aside from stopping in every town for a pee break, I could barely walk when we got there. But it was great all the same.
Christmas Day was great! We were spoiled, as was the baby. I cant wait for next year. I saw my cousin, who on Christmas Day was 39w1d pregnant, and I was bigger then her!! I think I'm in trouble.....
2 days later her little boy was born. Problem was he had air bubbles in his chest, and couldn't breathe....It was a scary couple days. I'm glad to say he's doing much better and is home now.
Dec28- we went on a sleigh ride...so fun, but again probably not for the very pregnant. We were in the middle of nowhere and again I had to pee. The good ol' squat and hover doesn't work when you cant even balance!!
Jan1- we came home. There roads were horrible and our normal 6 hour trip took 8+ hours. I was not the happiest person when we got back, but we made it, safely!
Jan2- I started feeling really sick. I tried to eat and ended up sitting in the bathroom forever. I drank water and called the health link. She said that if my temps stayed below 100, I didn't vomit, and baby kept active I was ok. Well temps went up.....then I started getting sick (now from both ends, tmi I know) but I tried to stay tuff. The next morning, baby was acting weird. I kept poking him, to make sure he was ok. But I couldn't get him moving. So off to the Hospital I went and straight to L & D. They are great there. After monitoring and tests, we learned that baby was still great, just sleeping, and I was severly dehydrated and somehow got the Norwalk Virus. I had to get 2 Litres of fluids and they wanted to give me a third. I thought I would pop. The baby was slow at first, but his pace picked up as soon as the fetal monitor was hooked up. He really hates those things. She had a hard time getting a reading because he wouldn't stop kicking the thing. I was having contractions (BH) but I didn't even notice until she told me.....
I was let out later that night. And as I left the nurse said "See you in 10 or less weeks"
That was my turning point. 10 weeks?! Thats not long at all, and we aren't ready. I went home, tired and bloated and I couldn't sleep, because our baby had nothing. I was so thankful that he was ok, and am so excited to get started on preparing for his arrival. But now its coming so fast!!
After a few days of freaking out, we went and got our crib and bedding last night. I also registered. I am now back to being super excited and less freaked.....I think it was a little "thing" that I sure everyone goes through......
So all in all that is my last few weeks in a nutshell. I am almost 29 weeks and so ready to meet him. I said a secret Happy New Year to my little boy and told him we would finally meet in 3 months.....I hope the time goes fast again and am so greatful how wonderful things are working out so far.....I just love this little guy!
