Baby Rez is growing big. My belly feels huge; if I’m already this big, I’m wondering how giant I’ll be at 9 months. We had a doctor appointment last week and Dr. Karl said “You’re almost at the third trimester.” I was like “whaaaat? I thought the third trimester started at 28 weeks. I’m only 25!” Apparently my doctor’s office measures the start of the third trimester at 26 weeks. I’m not sure everyone tracks it that way, but it did remind me that we’re moving along and the due date is getting closer.
We still have a lot to do though. In March we have our labor and delivery class, and maternity photos. In April we have the shower. I plan to stop work mid-May, and hopefully take care of a lot of little things around the house (clean the carpets, make some freezer meals, etc.). June seems so far away. And I haven’t even met with the mohel yet…
Aside from heartburn whenever I lay down and some trouble sleeping, I’m feeling great. Baby kicks a lot, and I can see my belly move (which is really weird). So far no sign of preeclampsia and we did a glucose tolerance test which showed no sign of gestational diabetes. Here’s hoping the pregnancy continues without complications.
