Not too much longer

Yesterday we went to yet another doctors appointment. After being in the hospital twice since my last appointment i was a little worried how this one would pan out. But to my surprise everything went amazing. The Dr looked at Winston and measured him. Win is measuring at 31 weeks and 3 days. Its nice to know that my child is already advanced. lol. His heart and everything looked great. We even saw him drinking some fluid, which the doctor informed me was pee. um can you say disgusting! Anyway the Dr also told us his weight but it was in Kg, so it didnt totally register with Jon and I. Once we were in the car we estimated the calculation to be around 4 pounds...you dont even want to know how much i have gained.lol
With him measuring at 31 weeks and some change i am sure that he is going to grace the world early. He just doesnt want to stay in there any longer. Plus when i asked the Dr when he would drop and turn...the Dr responded " oh he is already in position." I dont know if i should be scared, happy, or nervous. All i know is that i am now in the final stretch and have appointments every two weeks. Plus the nursery should be all put together by the end of the weekend. All that is left is for me to take the dreaded glucose test.
I have read blog post after post about this test and have come to fear it. I am not scared of the fact that im getting blood taken, as that is a normal thing for me. I am scared to fail the first hour. If i fail then i have to stay there for another 3 hours and drink even more of the nasty sugar packed drink. Not to mention if i fail the whole thing... i wouldnt be able to eat anything i crave and i only have 8 more weeks to eat sugary packed goodness until i have to start getting back into shape. :( Plus i watched my mom have Gestational Diabetes with my little brother and it did not look fun. Now we just have to wait until August 1 to see how everything is coming... Ugh cant wait for him to just be here!!!!

Scary Reality

Over the past few weeks i have read many blog posts about women's pregnancy problems. I would have never thought that one of these complications would have happened to me. Thursday night after a great burrito dinner, Jon and I were told to go to Labor and Delivery because i was having intense pain...and when i say intense i was crunched over in crying. Once we got to the Emergency Room it came pretty clear that i was having major contractions. They wheeled me up to Labor and Delivery where i spent the night. They determined that i was having pre-term labor. I was having contractions every 1 to 6 minutes in the beginning. Then after a shot to stop/slow the contractions they changed to every 10 to 20 minutes. Thank god i wasn't dilated! The shot and pills the nurse gave me made my heart race a thousand miles a minute.

After spending around 3 hours in the recovery room, the nurse moved us into a room for the night so they could watch me. At this point i was terrified that baby winston would be on his way...thank god they got the contractions to stop! 

The doctor told me to take it easy and i would see him July 17 for my check up. I am so glad after that terrifying night that everything is ok now. I am just taking it easy and praying that i don't have to experience contractions again until baby Win is going to come into this world! With that in mind, i am thinking that Winston is going to be early. He just cant wait to see the world :)
This whole situation has made me realize how unprepared Jon and I are for our son to be here. He has to keep baking for a little longer, there is still so much to do! We have to finish the nursery....not to mention all the stuff we still need to get. So stressful!
