Hello 3rd Trimester!!! 27 Weeks, and it's the final countdown. I am due exactly 3 months from today, how crazy is that! And our baby to-do list is just getting longer...we really need to get going on all that! At least we won't have a ton of clothes to buy...I'll just need to go through what we have and see what will work this time around. Let's see when I actually get to that!
Monday I stopped into the clinic to take my 1-hour glucose test. People complain about doing it, and really, it's not that bad. I think people just psych themselves out over it. Basically, you go in, drink this extra sugary drink, wait an hour, then get some blood drawn. I went first thing in the morning (you have to fast, so right away in the morning is best), and went equipped with a couple trashy magazines. I drank my stuff, and my the time I read through one magazine and worked on the crossword, time was up! Blood drawn and I was on my way to work. A few hours later the results came in...the "pass" range is 70-130...and I came in at 99...YAY, passed with flying colors! So, there's another pregnancy milestone to check off the list!
My rapid weight gain seems to have tapered off, for now anyway, so that's good! I'm still very satisfied with my gain thus far. I think I'm gaining my VBAC confidence back...I'm willing away the fear the best I can anyway! Other than that, we're just moving along. After a week or so of a calm baby...she's back to her evil ways lately. Moving like crazy, kicking as hard as she can. And this one loves kicking organs...Olivia was not like that, so that's pretty new to me! We had a fun poking contest tonight...how easily a baby in the tummy can entertain you! Ha.
