Just under 1.5 months to go! Doesn't seem real!

I've watched my belly grow, but it still hasn't registered we're going to have TWO children in the house in 43 days or sooner! I wasn't always sure I'd have another after dealing with a child who woke every 2hrs for 2 years! So given that mindset I had, I cannot believe we're about to venture into sleepless nights again haha. Here's to hoping this baby sleeps even slightly better! After having a rough go lately, I am feeling pretty good today so I thought I would write out my positive thoughts :)
My little girl has been doing better (knock on wood!!!) in the sleep dept lately. Although, she still sleeps with me so I don't know how she will adjust going back to her own bed when baby arrives. She still wakes often in the night but lately it's only been once or none at all and she's been doing 10.5-11hrs a night. Huge improvement from the getting up several times a night and crying and wanting to get up etc. Hoping that continues!
Next Monday is my last shift at work. I am leaving a whole month early to prepare for baby and to spend as much time as possible with my sweetheart Ruby. It's also nice to have the time to apply for my maternity benefits before baby arrives.
I do have one concern that has been bothering me. I realized my doc never sent me for the glucose test. And this pregnancy I have been addicted to pop, candy, chips, fast food. I've been terrible and my stomach is def much bigger than the first time around. I just had my first OB appt last Thursday (week 33) and she was so cold and rushing me, I forgot to mention it. I have another appt this week so I will bring it up in the hopes they can still do the test! My worry is having a large baby and possibly not be able to deliver vaginally. From what I've read GD can cause that! Ugh...worrysome! I've tried to kick my pop habit but so many drinks have SO much sugar and I HATE water. I drink about 3-4 pops a day! I've tried sparkling water/flavoured water and I hate them all.
Otherwise, my mind is also on thinking about the fact our nursery isn't complete and we have a bathroom reno to do all before baby is here!! So much to do and so little time. Regardless, I'm super excited about the addition and completion of our family. We won't be having anymore so that is making this birth so much more emotional for me. I can't wait to hold this baby. All I care about is having a healthy boy/girl. (we didn't find out the gender so there is extra excitement leading up to the birth.
