What a day!

I remember now very well why I hate being pregnant. Its miserable for me. I'm still sick with hyperemesis, plus I have acid reflux problems that are worse. Will it ever end?!?! I hope so, I'm not sure how much more I can take of this!

So....we are supposed to be headed out to Phoenix, AZ right now, but as you can see...I'm writing on here, so thats not happening. Hubby was tired when he got home, I felt like I've been run over so we just decided to wait 'til morning to leave. Besides we leave early morning and there is a good chance Alina will sleep a good part of the ways there, which would be a big help. Plus we aren't even close to done packing for the trip. I should be doing that now, but I'm gonna wait until I eat something first.

I had a 28 week OB appointment today. What a joy that was. *rolls eyes* I am measuring fine, a little on the higher end of average, but still not too bad. Hopefully he won't be too big of a baby! He was driving the poor midwife crazy, she'd just get the heartbeat and he would start moving and getting away from her, took her like 3-4 minutes to get his heartbeat. Went down to the lab to get blood drawn, that sucked. My veins are ruined from the beginning of this pregnancy where I was being IV'd all the time and the ER kept screwing them up. Took her a couple tries to actually get the one tube of blood, it was not fun. Went and picked hubby up from his class for lunch, and we relaxed and had a nice lunch, which is always nice. After I dropped him back off at work, I went and did the 1 hr glucose tolerance test. Blah. I hate that stupid test. I know its for a good reason, but it still sucks. I chose the lemon-lime flavor, its the best of them IMO. Went wandering around the hospital while I waited to get my blood drawn yet again. Had to go see the anetheseologist, since I have scoliosis and asthma. Thus far everything looks good and I'm good to go on getting an epi when I go into labor. *HOORAY!* I woulda been miserable had I not been able to get that. I'm such a baby when it comes to pain. I also went and got my pre-admittance paperwork so I can avoid a ton of paperwork when I go into labor. Then sat and talked to a woman who was taking the GTT as well. Alina was cracking her up, she would walk by and try to walk off with the womans purse and be a big girl. Shes such a silly kid. Then came the joy of getting my blood drawn again. Took 3, yes THREE times to get it this time. My poor arms look like pincushions, or a vampire got them. Either way...not fun.

Now we're back at home relaxing and enjoying our last night at home for a bit.

I'll post more later probably!
