Hello 3rd Trimester!

Yesterday I officially reached the 3rd Trimester...I felt like it would never get here! And to celebrate I took my first and probably last belly picture (so enjoy! LOL)

28w1d

It's going to be a long 14 weeks...

...if my back hurts this much already!! Today marks the 100 day mark, I can hardly believe it. I'm really starting to freak out about everything. We've started getting a lot of stuff: cribs ordered but not here yet, we just got a changing table and bassinet today, we got some diapers and wipes at the Prairie Meadows shower, and lord knows we already have plenty of clothes! Ironically, the panic set in as we were getting all this stuff. I think that without these physical reminders that I'm about to have a baby, I could kind of just ignore it. But now I see all these things laying around the house and I think "Holy shit, this little guy is going to be here in 100 days!"

I passed my glucose test, thank God! They want you lower than 140 and I was at 130 which was a huge relief. I think next week we're going to start interviewing day cares, I pretty much have one picked out but still want to look around a bit. Troy and I started working out last week, I mainly just walk on the treadmill and other light activities but it feels good. The first day we went, I asked Troy where the "waddle" setting was on the treadmill! Haha We joined the local campus which has a pool so I'm hoping I can get in and swim a few times.

Bottoms up!

Had my Gestational Diabetes test today. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be (imagine that). The drink was not pleasant, but it was not as thick or sweet as everyone made it out to be. They also had it refrigerated which I think helped tremendously. The doctor said if I pass I won't hear from them (no news is good news) but if I fail I should get a call tomorrow. I do wish I had eaten more throughout the morning. I was starving to death which made me shaky and grumpy!

We had another ultrasound as well. I hope they got the images of the heart they needed, the tech certainly didn't focus on it as much as I thought she would. We kind of got to see him in 3D, although he was laying on his tummy with his head hidden in my hip. He also hasn't quite filled out yet so he still looked a little skeletony. She said my placenta and amniotic fluid look great and he is measuring exactly where he should be. His legs are still measuring long. His kicks and punches are also getting a lot more powerful! He kicked the Doppler when the nurse was trying to listen to his heartbeat.

I have an appointment in 4 weeks and then after that I'll start the every other week appointments. Now let's just hope I pass the GD test!
