32 & 33 wEEks

It's funny being pregnant right now, i'm not counting the days till Christmas, in fact Christmas is almost non existant besides my small 4ft Christmas tree with a few presents underneath for friends. I'm counting down the days till I go to Florida and counting down the days till G arrives, I forget Christmas is just THIS WEEK....that's crazy! I finished painting in G's room last week so the only thing i'd like to do before I leave is add another bar to hang clothes on in her closet, the top one is so high up, I want one a little lower....and maybe Darin will add a shelf for me too :) We had a few things planned for the week before I leave. We went to a Christmas party, had one last sushi night with the gang, the Christmas Eve service, dinner at a friends house and then Christmas day dinner is by us, then I leave the next day on the early flight out. 

We had a Dr. appointment with the pediatrician that G will go to, she comes highly recommended so I feel good about choosing her...our little interview met our expectations if not better and i'm very excited to have her take care of our little one soon. I also had a Dr appointment to go over my blood work and ultrasound from 2 weeks ago, we heard all good news and have nothing to worry about before I leave this island for 2+ months. My sugar was normal also so that was good and I also gained a whole 5lbs!! EEEEEEK! I said bye to my Dr and his sweet staff, got all my paperwork in order and that's that!!

30 & 31 WeeKs

You know what sucks.....when you have an event to go to and you're planning on an outfit, then when the time comes to get dressed you don't fit in it and have a slight panic attack because you've waited so long to get ready and you thought you already knew what you were wearing....now your in complete rush mode AND pregnant AND feel like you're put together like a rag doll. After 5 or 6 different outfits, I ended up in a "go to" cotton dress that i've had forever, but dressed it up with some wedges so it didn't look half bad in the end....Ugh the joys of being pregnant :) It was also probably the first time in 5 or 6 months i've worn heels and I made it about 15mins at our friends birthday before I realized the extra 18lbs was already making my feet hurt (good thing I packed flats!!), no more nights when I can make it till 3am in heels for a while. So not only was it my first time wearing heels in months it was sadly, most likely, my last.......

Anyway.....I leave in 3 weeks to go to Orlando until G arrives. I had what I thought was my last appointment yesterday but my sugar was high again, I only measured (belly) 2cm larger than 3 weeks ago and I haven't gained any weight in 3 weeks so the Dr is having me go for another scan to check her growth and I have to do some more blood work. He assured me it's only as precaution and not to worry but I instantly wanted to cry from worry.....I held it in till I got to the parking lot. I don't care who you are, when you're a first time mom and a Dr says anything besides "looks like everything is going well", you immediately think the worst and what did you do as a mom to cause anything to not be perfect. I've talked to some friends and feel much better about the situation, i've got a lot of advice and support so i'm not nearly as worried as I was yesterday. My scan is Thursday (tomorrow) so we'll find out everything then.

As i'd hoped (YAY) everything is just fine (YAY). G is actually measuring 2 weeks ahead of me but my due date hasn't changed yet. We go to see the Dr in 2 weeks so maybe he'll change my date, maybe not. Purchasing Darin's ticket is now put on hold until I get to Florida and meet my Dr there and see what he says then we'll have a better idea of when to get Darin's ticket.
