I am in the third trimester! Now I can add acid reflux and re-add insomnia to my list of woes. Baby punches a lot harder these days, and my ribs hurt.
I was having some trouble breathing and felt dizzy for a bit, but I started taking iron supplements when we realized I was anemic (normal enough during pregnancy), and either that helped or it is a mere coincidence that this has become better.
Thankfully, I passed my gestational diabetes test, so I can continue to eat what I need. I still do not have a lot of cravings, but I do have more of an appetite!
Baby is measuring at 97th percentile still. I get kind of a lot of ultrasounds for seeing a high-risk doctor, and they always make a comment about the size. This is a little frightening, considering I definitely hope to avoid a C-section, but my doctor said it’s totally fine, so I’m trusting that.
Our nursery furniture should be getting in soon, which will be so fun! I’m definitely a huge mix of excited and anxious. Part of me feels like I’ve been pregnant forever. We haven’t gone to our usual date spot for drinks and dinner in a long time — I have been CRAVING a martini lately. My belly has been uncomfortable for a long time. On the other hand, it feels like forever ago that we got our bikes tuned up, only to find out on the day we picked them up, that I was pregnant and didn’t want to ride a bike anymore for a bit.
When I think about childbirth, I panic a little. I’m not in good shape for my standards, and I haven’t taken a Lamaze class yet. That should probably be my next step.
I’m going to try to sleep now. I hope Baby lets me sleep, but wakes me up a little, just because. I like knowing all is well in the little home we have going on in there!
