28 Weeks

This week has been hectic....  Saturday morning I went to Jasper hospital first thing in the morning to do my 3 hour glucose test, since I had to fast for 8 hours prior I wanted to do it as soon as I woke up - thanks to my awesome step-mom I didn't have to go alone.  We got there and I registered and went to the lab.  They took my blood then had me drink the wonderful glucose drink, that stuff is AWFUL!  After I got that down I had to wait an hour and have my blood drawn again so while we waited we ran to Rural King to get my dogs some dog food - came back and got my blood drawn.  Wait another hour - this time we stayed there - get blood drawn for the 3rd time.  Wait another hour - we decided to run to the square in Jasper to this baby store that my step-mom likes only to find out that it has closed down... So we went to Sieberts and she bought some stuff for my dad.  Back to the hospital for the 4th and final blood draw!  3 hour glucose test complete!!  Now wait on results!!  :)  I spent the rest of the day with her - went to see my sister and nieces, JJ had a baseball game at 5, then went down to Monte's to see my DH.  After he got off work we went down to the river to see some friends that were camping and hang out.  It was an awesome night!  The moon was AMAZING!  Sunday I went and hung out at my dads cabin and helped plant flowers, anything to get out in the sun!  I am so PALE right now and my skin is breaking out so bad...  Worst part about being pregnant is the breakouts I have had!!  It wasn't this bad when I was a teenager!!  Haha.  Tuesday we had another baseball game and after that we had to get home and start getting the house ready for the carpet to be installed.  I thought I would have Wednesday to get that all done but DH was asked to work at the pizza place so we had to get as much as we could done after the game Tuesday - I have been tired since!!  Haha.   Yesterday my mom called me at work - I knew immediately that something was wrong!!  One of her yorkies got out of the house and ran down to the highway and got hit.... :(  It is amazing how attached to pets we can get.  She kept apologizing for calling me and crying and how it was just a dog but I totally understand - when something happens to either of my dogs I am going to be one heck of a mess!!  They are my girls, my babies!  I cry when I leave them to go on vacation!!   Haha.  So, I could relate.  She was blaming herself, she was the last one out the door.  But accidents happen...  I held it together until I got off the phone with her, then I broke down and cried - partially becuase I loved that dog but mostly becuase I couldn't handle hearing my mom SO upset!  I wanted to leave work right then and there and go to her.  So, when I got home I had already planned on going over there (she was working on baby shower invites and the invite she picked out she needed my picture for) but wasn't sure what to do...  She wanted to keep out plans so I went.. It was so strange walking into the house and not having Bella come barking..  I stayed at their house visiting most of the evening - DH was working, JJ was with his dad.  Once i got home I worked some more on getting the bedrooms ready for carpet!  It is getting installed this afternoon!  Can't wait!!  Next on the list - pick out bedding for the nursery so we can get that painted and ready!!  Ugh.  There just aren't a whole lot of CUTE boy beddings out there but I need to pick one - only a little over 11 more weeks at the most until we get to meet our "little" man!  Possibly 10!! :) 
We are going on the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky with some friends tomorrow - I will post about that next week.

Oh, I almost forgot!  The dr office called yesterday - I passed my test!!  No gestational diabetes for this girl!!
