28 week appt

Sorry for not updating.  I had my appointment Thursday.  My weight was good, BP up just a little bit, baby's heartbeat in the high 130's (little one made the PA chase him/her with the doppler).  He said he'll have me retake the glucose test in a few weeks, and gave me my orders to go to the hospital to get my NST and ultrasound :)  I'm so happy the ultrasound is there, I won't have to deal with that evil woman...they have a better machine...etc...  He said I could go anytime before Tuesday, however when I called the hospital, they said I had to schedule the ultrasound.  I tried to do that, but no one was there to do it..I called back and the next lady had no idea what I was talking about?  So, I'm just going to show up on Monday and see what happens.  I also asked him about scheduling the csection (so Alex can work on getting the week off).  He said he didn't want to give the exact day yet (just in case something changes and need earlier, but hopefully won't), but he said to plan on my 38th week, which is the week of May 15th.  So, that's pretty exciting :)  Close enough to knowing.  We also got the nursery done, for the most part.  I'll take pics and post them later.  I had a hard time with it...I've been delaying it because I was so afraid of *jinxing* something.  I was doing ok until I got to the diaper bag...I had to unpack what has been stuck in time for the last year +.  Marissa's baby book was the hardest...forever left undone...no first words, birthdays, etc...  I remember packing that bag...a different time, place, me.  No matter the gender of the baby, there are some items of Marissa's I just can't bare to share.  I bought those things with just her in mind, just as I have bought things for just this baby.  So, I'll put her items away with the other 'runner-up' prizes we have :(

Enough for now, it took me a few days to snap out of that funk, and I don't really want to revisit..not today anyway.  We're having 'date night' with Kim & Donald (no kids..for any of us..it'll be great).  We're going to Outback (Alex has never been, I've only been once-many years ago), then Alex and I have the rest of the night off because my mom is keeping Kaitlynne overnight. 

Hope all are well.
