Random Thoughts & Happenings

Gestation:  27 weeks 3 days
Weight:  116 lbs

My third trimester is just around the corner - I can't believe it!  The time is going by so fast.  In the beginning, days felt like weeks and weeks felt like months and I was always counting...waiting to get to to 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks.  Now, the weeks are flying by and in the blink of an eye I'm going to be 30 weeks then 36 weeks then 40 weeks!!!

I went for my glucose screening test this week - I should get the results next week when I see my midwife - fingers crossed I passed.  There's no reason to believe I won't pass, but you never know.

We started painting Cub Scout's room - finally.  It's not finished, but I'm glad we've started.

My baby registry is done.

Cub Scout continues to remain in the exact same position as always.  I find this very strange because I always thought babies moved around a lot.  He kicks a lot and his kicks are definitely getting stronger and they are not as cute as they used to be, especially when I am trying to go to sleep :)  Is it uncommon for a baby to not change position?  Does he not have enough room in there?  Or is he just a calm, peaceful baby who doesn't feel the need to do gymnastics?

Eating...ugh.  I eat all the time.  I'm never really hungry but I just eat one small thing after another.  I am so tired of eating.  My weight gain seems to be slowing down.  For a while there it seemed like I was gaining about one pound per week but now it seems to be less.  I really hope I can make it to my recommended weight gain or close to it.

Back pain persists.  It is always the worst at work.  Sitting at a computer most of the day is so uncomfortable.  I am ready to finish work now!

I still can't believe I'm going to be a mommy.  I don't know how to be a mommy.  I have no idea how to care for an infant.  I'm reading all the books, but still, I feel completely clueless.

Less than 13 weeks to go....holy crap!
