Feeling Bittersweet

Wow, June already. It seems like spring just arrived and now in 2 1/2 weeks it'll be summer. It's funny that on one hand, this pregnant feels like it's lasting forever and all I want to do is meet our new baby, but on the other hand, 29 weeks is done already. I'll never have those back. It's sort of sad.

So the results came back from my urine test. Turns out I have a bladdar infection. Strange because when I was little I had one but I actually was uncomfortable. This time I wouldn't even have know. Good thing I said something to Dr. Raby though because my book says it can bring on preterm labour. That would have been okay, maybe in early August, but not now. It's too early.

I've been running around to hardware stores for the past couple of days trying to find pieces for the change table. No luck so Craig finally just screwed it together last night. It looks wonderful!

I did the glucose tolerance test yesterday. The sugary drink you take is ust orange pop. I was expecting something horrid since they give you 5 minutes to finish it. I was thirsty, too. It was pretty yummy.

So there's 7 weeks left until I begin maternity leave. Tonight I hope to write the letter to Shelley explaining the reason for my LOA and then next June I have to let her know when I plan on returning, if at all. I'll have to double check on the internet for all the time requirements for filing for maternity leave. I've checked it before but I can't remember all the details.

I'm gradually collecting things for the baby: diapers, wipes, shampoo. I still need washcloths, bibs and all the baby's clothes still have to washed. I'll have to buy some Ivory Snow laundry soap for that... less irritating to baby's skin.
