I am aware that some people think week 28 is the actual start of the third trimester but I'm impatient.
I had my Glucose Tolerance Test this morning. Just a couple of thoughts.
- I hate hate hate having blood drawn.
- I'm an idiot and wore a long sleeve shirt.
- The drink was ok at first, tasted like Sprite. But by the end of it I was gagging.
- People watching at a clinic like that is PRIME. So many good eavesdropping opportunities.
- I feel really sad for everyone who works there. They had terrible attitudes and barely smiled...I can only attribute it to the fluorescent lighting, stark white walls and apparent no-talking rule that, I assume, was put in place by a Nazi-esque Mrs. Trunchbull-wannabe boss.
- My arms hurt.
How far along? 27 weeks.
Size of baby: Still an eggplant. Can we get someone with more imagination picking the vegetables, please?
Total weight gain/loss: +12Stretch marks? Still holding strong.
Sleep: Really good! Minus the 4 a.m. somersault wake up calls, but I don't mind those.
Best moment this week: There were a few. A great chat with my dad on the phone that included him reminiscing about the day they brought me home..."all of a sudden, your mom and I looked at each other with wide eyes and we were like...holy shit, we have a baby." HA. Can't wait for that moment. Also, Tyler telling me he's been writing letters to Harrison almost daily. Makes my heart melt.
Worst moment this week: Well. This is embarrassing. I had a full on melt down about a Burger King chicken sandwich. Why hasn't Tyler divorced me yet?
Movement: Oh yes.
Food cravings: Nothing crazy. Still obsessive about my cereal but that's about it.
Sex: Boy parts!
Labor Signs: Noooooo.
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie.
What I miss: All I can say is I can't wait for wine and sushi immediately following his birth.
What I am looking forward to: Baby shower on Saturday. :)
Weekly Wisdom: Don't do three straight hours of cleaning...split it up. Or your back will give you hell. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Milestones: THIRD FREAKING TRIMESTER.
Also, I had a guest interrupt my photo shoot this morning. Pretty sure he's trying to eat my belly.
HAHA Love that second picture!! :)
ReplyDeletehe's been writing letters? Seriously the sweetest thing I have EVER heard.
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing!
I can't even believe it is third trimester time!!!! I am equal parts EXCITED AS HELL and TERRIFIED BEYOND BELIEF. It is getting close. I am also having a weird time believing that he's 2 pounds! and so long! But I sort of believe it when I can feel him doing flips and stuff. So hard to believe it's really happening though, and that I'm not just getting fat :)
ReplyDeleteYay for a shower this weekend!! I have my first one in two weeks. I know that will make it feel REALLY real when we come home with loads of stuff to put in the nursery!
I'm with you on the wine and sushi! Wish we lived closer so we could have a wine and sushi date in February!
Oh, and I totally understand about the melt down. I've gotten really ridiculous lately. I cry SO often. I had a major cry fest last night after Brandon went to bed. I felt SO much better afterwards, but at the moment I really felt like the world was ending. Ahhhhh hormones ;)
Okay, this comment was long enough to to have been an email, so I'm going to wrap it up.
Cute picture as always :) And love the photo bomb in the second one! HA!
love the last pic!
ReplyDeleteYou look great, seriously! So cute! I love that your hubby is writing the baby letters, cutest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo not looking forward to my glucose test. :/
ReplyDeleteI'm dreading the glucose test!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the second picture! Y'all are too cute.
And I totally have no judgement for the BK Meltdown. I definitely made lunch today then insisted I have a grilled cheese from Sonic instead.
