Third trimester… here we go!
I had a little cry-fest this past week when I realized that I will be pregnant for three more months! September just feels like a loooong way off right now! I already feel almost as big as I was when I delivered Jude, so it’s hard to imagine what it will be like in three more months! I’ve been feeling pretty hormonal/emotional, so I’m trying to make sure I eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, and exercise.
But I remain grateful for a healthy pregnancy. At my appointment last week my blood pressure was fine and so was my iron level (a big deal for me since I often struggle with low iron). Baby Apricot was head-down at that appointment, so hopefully he or she will settle in comfortably and stay that way! I took my glucose test but I haven’t heard back yet from that.
I feel so many kicks and punches because of the way Apricot is laying. It’s really fun to feel a little foot or hand pressed right up to the surface of my belly!
I’ve completed my birth plan and filled out my hospital pre-registration paperwork. Our hospital offers tours for older siblings, so I think I’m going to take Vera and Cordelia sometime this summer.
I’m thankful for Tad’s support right now and his patience with me when I’m emotional!
Awww… you look adorable!
I’m right behind you, pregnancy-wise, but I’m actually one of those weird, rare ladies who LOVES being pregnant and doesn’t want it to end. September can hold off as long as possible!!
Too funny! I do enjoy pregnancy for the most part, but I seem to have enjoyed my one winter pregnancy more than my three summer pregnancies. 😉
You look positively cute and stunning! Hang in there!
Thanks, Sally! You’re so kind!
I had a cry-fest this past week, too! I wouldn’t call mine “little” though – “major” would be more like it! It was the middle of my 25th week, and suddenly I was feeling self-conscious about my appearance (motivated mostly by a comment from someone whose opinion I don’t even really care about, but it set me off). There were other factors at play, too; there usually are. But oh my, I just had to let my tears fall for a while. I can smile about it now, but I wasn’t smiling then!
So, you are not alone. And I, for one, think you look stunning! 🙂
You make me feel so much better, Davene! Sometimes it’s okay to have a good cry!
