Weeks 26 & 27

The last couple weeks have been so crazy busy!!! I hope I can remember everything I need to update on...I just literally haven't even had a minute to sit and write! Okay, here it goes:

Week 26:

This week started out fairly uneventful, but as the weekend neared, things got a bit more crazy. Wednesday, I found an awesome deal on the diaper bag I registered for, so I went ahead and bought it, new with tags in perfect condition, for only $89.00!

Thanks eBay! Friday night, after work, Jeff had me meet him at Michelangelos for dinner. He and his friends were there celebrating the AFE inspection being over, so I stuck it out and hung out til 10:00pm while they had a good time. When we got home, I went to the restroom and to my horror, saw some spotting on the toilet paper. It wasn't a whole lot, but even the tiniest of amounts freaks me out. I called the on-call Doctor and they told me to head to the emergency room. It was really frustrating because Jeff was intoxicated, I had to drive myself, and he was stressing me out. He insisted on going, only to be of no assistance, but it is what it is!

We got to emergency and they quickly got us checked in and back to L&D. They hooked me up to the monitor, where Hudson's heartbeat was immediately pounding away which was reassuring.

It was really strange because they never checked my cervix or anything. They left me on the monitor for quite a while and Hudson did NOT like it! He was literally kicking the monitor off! LOL....Meanwhile, I began contracting. Nothing big or painful, but definitely present and enough to give me a shot of Terbutaline to stop them. After the shot, the contractions stopped and they sent us home around 3:30am. The rest of the weekend was unfortunately busy; I had to get up the next morning and supervise at a cheer competition on about hours of sleep and I had a ton of homework :( Sunday, Jeff and I cleaned up around the house and we got a phone call that our crib was ready for pick-up at Babies-R-Us which was exciting! Luckily, no more contractions or spotting!

Week 27:
Monday was my Glucose Intolerance test at 7:30am. I am so thankful I didn't get sick this time around! The bad thing is, when I was there, I went to the bathroom, and had some more spotting on the toilet paper like I did Friday. My doctors' office is right next to the Quest lab I went to, so right after my test I went to my doctors office to get checked. They took me right in, and even though Dr. Dave wasn't there, Dr. Lopez who is Cathleen's doctor, saw me with no problem. He checked me and noticed that my cervix was irritated and ran a test, kind of like a Pap Smear. Turns out the spotting was being caused by a minor infection, so he prescribed some medication that I took the rest of the week to clear it up. Thank God it was nothing big!

I also started my NSTs and AFI's at the hospital this week. I will be going to them every Tuesday and Friday. I went to my first one on Tuesday. The AFI check was really quick, but neat because I get to see the baby on an ultrasound and make sure he is doing wonderfully! It only took about 10 minutes which was really nice. The NST on the other hand.....ugh. My appointment was at 1:00pm...I didn't get called back until 4:30! After that, they hooked me up to the monitor, and I started contracting, of course...so what should take 30-45 minutes, took a total of 7 hours because I didn't get home until 7:30pm! They had to give me another shot of Terb (as the nurses call it) to stop the contractions, and once they were under control, sent me home. This boy! lol! It will all be worth it of course.

Before my NST on Friday, I had a regular appointment with Dr. Dave. He said I passed my glucose test, Yippe!! He also said his wife is due the day before me with a boy as well, which he totally didn't say anything until now!! He even said that Hudson is on their name list lol! He seems excited! I am just glad I am being induced early so hopefully he will be there to deliver baby boy! I have started my every two week appointments, so I go back on March 13th!

My NST appt on Friday I waited 2 hours before being seen, which wasn't as bad as Tuesday, but still took a while. The good thing is I was able to pre-register and get that out of the way! No contractions during this NST and I was able to make it back to work this time! Wednesday, I had Bunco, which I did a Vegas theme and it was super fun! Kinda came at a stressful point in the week though. Yesterday, Jeff and I went and picked up the crib and went to lunch which was fun! Today we are just lounging.

I can't believe I have already reached the 28 week mark as of tomorrow....SO crazy. Time is flying!!
