28 weeks & Sicknesses

Well, this last week has been an interesting one.  Not necessarily the best one of pregnancy, but testing, none the less.  This last week, I experienced four separate sicknesses within the week: bladdar spasms/infection, kidney stone, horrible cold, and that Australian flu bug.  Did I say that it was not the best week?  Jon had the flu a few days before I got it and I took care of him and bleached our place like crazy, but still got it!  But I was very blessed to have lots of prayer and recovered quicker than he did.  He was also such a brave and good helper to me as he would take my throw up bucket, help me upstairs, brought me anything that I needed and cared me all throughout the day and night as well as checking on the baby and asking me how I think the baby felt.  He was very loving and I am so glad I had him with me. 

This last week did have a good part, which was going to visit the hospital and labor and delivery wing.  I had already been there earlier in the week to get checked with some of my sicknesses, but they gave us a detailed tour and a lot of information about what will happen while we are there.  Although I hate hospitals, I feel pretty good about being at that hospital for our delivery.  I feel even better now that we have two midwives that we're working with rather than several doctors at the practice I was at before.  I can't believe that we are really nearing the end of the pregnancy and in less than three months, we'll be welcoming our little one into our family! 

Now, on to this weekend with my first baby shower with Jon's and my family as well as many friends!  It should be a great day!
