Third Trimester!
Ooops! It's been a while since I've updated. Not a lot has gone on as far as the pregnancy goes. Which, I suppose, is a good thing! We managed to sell our house & purchased a new one that meets the needs of our growing family, so much of the past 6 weeks was spent clearing out one house & moving into the next.
I had my glucose test yesterday for my OB appt. Wow, was that nasty! For all 3 of my other pregnancies, it's always at least been carbonated, so I was able to try to fool myself into thinking it was soda. Nope, not this time. The label specifically said "non-carbonated." When did that happen, and more importantly, WHY?! Ugh, it was pretty gross, I thought. But, I managed to down it in 5 minutes while flipping pancakes & serving breakfast to the kids. Not bad!;) Got the phone call today from the dr's office that I passed the glucose test. Good thing, since at that exact moment I had a rice krispie bar in my hand & I was planning to eat it no matter what the results were!
Just the other day a friend of mine said she couldn't believe I was in my 3rd trimester. It took hearing her say that for it to really sink in that there's not much time left before this next kid arrives! And boy do we have a lot of work to do before then. We DID decide which bedroom would be the nursery, but I'd still like to paint it & decorate it a bit. Not to mention, we need another crib (Josh isn't going to be out of his yet when she arrives!) and a new carseat. As much as I like the infant carrier carseats, I think we'll just get one of the convertible ones--my kids always outgrow the infant carriers by 4 months of age b/c they're longer than the recommended length.
The baby seems pretty quiet a lot of the time, although I'm so busy day in & day out that she's probably rocked to sleep. As soon as I lie down at night, she bumps around and makes her presence known. I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it since this is my last pregnancy.
That's my update for now; I'll try to keep things more current if I can! Next dr appt is in 2 weeks!!
