(almost) 33 weeks... stuff and updates!

Helllllooooo all!
So what's going on with us, I know you've all been on the edges of your seat- just anxiously awaiting our next update---- well the waiting can end now, here's your fix! (ROFLMAO)
Under the WTF? Category:
Yesterday was our first Non Stress test... and the belts couldn't hold the little sensors tight enough and poor Tim had to work on his isometric exercises and hold them there for the requisite 30 minutes... so the nurse comes in halfway to check on us (since WeeKat had been especially shy about letting them have her heartbeat for more than a minute before squirming away) and looks at the long sheet of paper coming out of the machine...
So she is showing it to Tim and explaining, because all the medical stuff fascinates him and he wants to know what every number means... and he looks at the bottom and says- "What's that?" the nurse looks and goes, "Oh my goodness those are a bunch of contractions!" looks mildly panicked for a minute and says "Let me get your chart, I'll be right back!" Since I'm stuck on the bed staring at the ceiling tiles, and he's holding all the sensors on, we're stranded and looking at each other going "Wha...?".... Finally the nurse comes back in and says, "You're only 32 weeks aren't you?" I say yes... and Tim asks "Is that bad that she's having contractions?" and the nurse says: "Well how early did you guys plan on having this baby?" Then she laughs and says she'll be back to check on us at the end...
Umm.... seriously? When she comes back in Tim is totally quizzing her asking if that's bad, does that mean that we're going into labor soon... etc etc... she basically says she doesn't know, but that the doctor looked over the papers and said the baby looks good, slaps us on the arse and sends us home with no answers... WTF??? I don't get to see the actual doctor until next Thursday, so looks like we'll have to wait for answers... this means 1 of 2 things:

Thing 1: I'm going to be having this baby sooner than anyone thinks... or
Thing 2: The nurse had no clue what she was doing, this is normal, and the doc will confirm that next Thursday.
Stay tuned....
Under the Everything Else Category:
Busy busy busy... Everything is coming together- we finally got everything we needed for the most part, and I'm working around the house today cleaning and getting everything organized and ready. I've mucked out 3 closets and reorganized them all so that we have more room and so that Kat can have her own closet! We've got the hospital bags packed, just missing a few things we need to run out and get... and I'm running Tim around making him carry stuff today. Luckily I'm cute, so he has no choice.
I feel great! Aside from being hippo like, and having lots of contractions. WeeKat is just be-bopping away in there, I think she may have invited friends over and could- in fact- be having a large rave complete with glo sticks in there....
So that's the update with stuff, and crap, and all that good stuff... Back to organizing and cleaning!
