We made it to 24 weeks!!!!!!!

So after much worry and stress, multiple ultrasounds and doctor's visits we made it to 24 weeks. I took off work 2 weeks before my admission to get things ready at home for my and the girls return. At 21 weeks I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and they sent me to see an dietitian at the clinic. Much to my surprise I was able to control my sugars better than I thought I could. The diet was better than I thought. It was convienant timing since I had just stoppped working too. In that 2 week time frame we put together 2 baby cribs (thanks to my mother and father in law) and arranged the furniture in their room. We had 2 baby showers, received tons of gifs and washed, dried them all. My mom and I went back to Babies R Us and bought at least approximately $600.00 in more stuff. You need a lot when you have to double it times two. We killed the dryer trying to wash all that stuff! Had to go find a new dryer and have it delivered, finished washing, packed my bags and much more. Plus my Uncle Ronnie was here visiting from Cali, so I wanted to visit with him as much as possible. Needless to say it was a busy 2 weeks.
We checked in on Monday, October 20, 2008. For those of you who really know me, I am proud to say I only cried once through that whole process and I really want to say it's my mom's fault. We went by her house before we went to the hospital and she was sad she couldn't come with me, which made me sad. But I had my Randall and he is always strong, maybe a little squeamish about hospitals, but he did well. We got settled into my room around 6:00pm thanks to the help of my friend Sandy, it went pretty smooth. I had 1 suitcase, clothes on hangers, several other small bags, laptop and more. It looked like I was moving in, I guess I was!
