I can't believe that I'm already on the home stretch!!!!!!!!!! I had my 26 week apointment today and got totally freaked by the fact that I will now be visiting the doc every 2 weeks! Today's appointment was all the usual (weigh in, blood pressure, pee in a cup and listen to sweet little Lukie's heartbeat) plus the added bonus of the glucose tolerance test (PUKE!)... the test consists of drinking a gazzilion grams of sugar in liquid form on an empty stomach and then getting your blood drawn to check glucose levels. All morning I felt like vomiting... the whole point of the test is to check for gestational diabetes (which I'm very worried that I have!) so I'm very anxious for the results.
Joys the 3rd tri has brought so far:
*An ever expanding belly! Although it sometimes feels like a 1,000 lbs I really do love it.
*LOTS of kicks, rolls and karate from Lucas. I LOVE that I get to feel him ALL day long - he is the first thing I feel in the morning and the last thing I feel at night.. I'm totally addicted
*A closeness with Lucas that is indescribeable. I am so in love with him..
"Un-Joys" the 3rd tri has brought so far:
*Sore back :(
*Having to literally "roll" out of bed because sitting up like a normal person is no longer an option
*Having to say goodbye to bladder control. When Lucas mistakes my bladder for a trampoline an adult diaper starts to seem more and more necessary.
You are so cute! I loved reading the joys and un-joys..
