So the time has come... and being I'm paranoid about going in to labour early I'm getting prepared sooner than others.... yup, you guessed it! The dreaded HOSPITAL BAG! The bag of everything you could possibly want, some things you wouldn't want and of course a few things that you are sure to forget being they don't seem important at the time and you realize afterwards that they would have been nice to have! LOL!
I have been scouring the internet all morning trying to find a good, comprehensive list of things I should have with us for the delivery, before and after! Now most of the stuff I've found I will have to buy mostly because I only have one of them (like my toothbrush) and I'm not packing that away until delivery time (YUCK), so a shopping trip is in order! (YAY SHOPPING!!!!) I have found two pretty decent lists online in all my searching... Canadian Parents and Rookie Dad . Both of these lists say roughly the same thing, and tell you to bring very similar stuff. I know from my own experiences clothes... pads (boob and heavy duty)... pj's .... and other such stuff are a necessity. I just wasn't sure what I would need baby related being we didn't have a bag packed last time and didn't need take baby home stuff, also we didn't stay long in the hospital being we had to drive to Kingston so I wasn't sure on the clothing front how much stuff I would need.
So we will start our hunt for the dreaded HOSPITAL BAG STUFF (Do... Do... Do.... almost always need background music for that) tomorrow... WOOT! Happy hunting!

Week 28
So we have officially made it to the third trimester... depending on where you read the third trimester starts at 28 or 29 weeks.
Had another appointment yesterday and the doctor said that 3cm at this point for cervix length is where he likes to see it, so I'm right on target. He gave me another requisition for an Ultrasound for the end of February... so it's booked for Feb 22nd (which is a Tuesday). At least I've hit the point where I don't need to drink a TON of water... only 2 to 3 glasses is all they need! YAY! But it still means that you can't pee for an hour before the appointment. YUCK! :( How can a pregnant woman not pee for an hour... especially when you are getting to the end and the munchkin is starting to push on your bladder ALL THE TIME!!! Well, I'll just say it's another test on being uncomfortable for long periods of time.
I am now having appointments every 2 weeks.... yup we've hit that point. I think I'll feel better when I actually make it to that appointment. With Cole we didn't make it to the 2 week appointment being he was born a week before.... 29w5D.... So at my next appointment I will be 30W2D..... so if we make it there I'm sure I'll feel a ton better in someways. And TOTALLY FREAKING OUT in others LOL. So we are now looking forward to every two weeks... cause every appointment we get to means a greater chance of healthy baby that gets to come home right away... WOOT!
So we do a bunch of 2 week appointments then somewhere in the end of February and the beginning of March we start our 1 WEEK APPOINTMENTS... that'll be exciting! Fingers crossed!

Another appointment tomorrow
So the weekend was okay. I really think it hit me worst yesterday and a few days before the weekend. Polar Bear and I went for a nice dinner on Saturday night in celebration/remembrance. I sometimes forget just how much I like spending time with my husband. We ended up having the house to ourselves Saturday night, and all of Sunday. Which was exactly what the doctor ordered. We hung around home and relaxed, played some video games and just spent time together.
Tomorrow is 28 Weeks... and I have another appointment. Haven't heard anything about the ultrasound or blood work from the other week so I'm assuming that everything's gone okay. I'll let you know how the appointment goes. Polar Bear is coming home for the appointment being he's up north for the week, so that's nice. I don't always like going alone, it's nice to have another him there.
Well I'll let you know how tomorrow goes.
