Friday I had a dr. appointment and my mom was finally able to go with me, yay! She drove on the way there so I could drink my sugar water because I had my glucola test that morning before my regular appointment. And it was not bad at all! But Colton and I LOVE anything sweet, so it actually tasted pretty yummy to me :) So we get to the lab and have my blood drawn and they said since it was Friday, they won't know anything until Monday or Tuesday, so fingers crossed! My regular appointment went great. The dr. asked me if I was planning on taking off from work before she arrives and I kind of shrugged my shoulders and looked at her and said "I don't know, should I? I was planning on working right up until the end actually." She kind of laughed and said "I have NO restrictions on you, your weight looks good, your blood pressure is good, your measuring good...so it's completely up to you." Then she looked over at my mom and asked if she had such an easy pregnancy, and mom said "yep, she was my only one and I had no problems and my mom had six and she had no problems with any of them!" So maybe we're just really lucky and have super easy pregnancies ;)
After my appointment we went to go eat lunch (because I was STARVING from not being able to eat breakfast that morning!) at Cheddar's, yum, and then went shopping around at JCPenny's and Target. Mom said she felt like she hit the jackpot because she got new kitchen curtains and kitchen rugs for a steal! While we were at Target of course we had to stroll through the baby section and you could tell it was hard for her to resist buying anything baby! She kept stopping at toys and clothes and just admire them and say how cute they were, but we both kind of agreed that we wouldn't buy anything because I have my baby shower coming up soon, which I'm super excited for!
These past couple of weeks I have known three women who have gone into labor about a month before their due date...and it's really starting to make me nervous! One of the moms (at the daycare) water broke last week at home and she was only 32 weeks when it happened! So they told her they were going to keep her in the hospital for two weeks and try to hold off on her going into labor until the baby was at least 34 weeks. She called me this morning when I got into work and said that she had the baby this weekend at 33 weeks and that she's healthy and fiesty! I've been keeping Colton updated about it because she was only three weeks ahead of me, I'm already 30 weeks!!!!! So this morning I sent him a text telling him that she had her and she was only 33 weeks but she's doing great and how weird it is to think that if something like that happened to us we could have a baby in a matter of weeks! So then he sends me two pictures of two fortune cookies I sent him for lunch (leftover from our Hunan's this weekend) and the first one read, "Something wonderful is about to happen" and then the second one read, "Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst." Are you freakin kidding me!?!?!?!?! So needless to say my mind is going through all these different scenarios about what could happen...even though I know I will probably go to week 40 and a couple days after :) I'm of course hoping that she isn't that early but I'm also hoping that I'm not miserable and waddling around still at week 40!
