dude!

ok, i'm really not sure what's been going on in my uterus the past couple of days. i had just been thinking that the activity level had gone down and that maybe he/she was running out of room already. but, the past 2 days or so, TOTAL SPAZ-OUT. i got up last night around 3 or so to go to the bathroom, and when i went back to bed, it took me forever to get back to sleep because BG was doing aerobics or remodeling or hosting a rave in there. i would lay on my side, and i would feel the craziness on the upper and lower sides AT THE SAME TIME. spaz.

baby's been busy in there lately...i think he/she may actually be building some sort of fort. he/she has stellar aim, too...favorite targets for the kicking are my bladder and my cervix. it's pleasant stuff. hopefully only slightly more than 2 months to go.

third trimester

so, sunday marks the beginning of my last trimester. as happy as i am about that, i'm also realizing that the most uncomfortable part is just beginning. so, i'm glad i've spent the last 24 weeks complaining about how uncomfortable i am. :) it's all downhill from here...

in awesome news, i had my test this week for gestational diabetes. i was 1 point away from having it in my pregnancy with abby, so i had pretty much thrown in the towel this time, being sure that i had it. but, not so! this time i was 39 points away from having it! so, i'm very very excited now, and thrilled at the prospect of not having to deal with the diet modifications and the possible HUGE baby that would result from having GD. so, woohoo!

aaaaaand...VENT!

ok, i don't understand why this baby hates me. i provide a nice warm home and food...and i think i do well. but, still, this baby hates me. it makes me lightheaded when i'm out in the heat so that i almost pass out, it makes my legs feel like they're coming apart from my hip joints, it makes my lower back hurt, it makes me cranky. i don't know why, and i can NOT believe that i still have slightly over 3 months to go. i am seriously not going to be mobile or fit to be around.

grrrr.

**this is all true, but it's not really as bad as it seems. all is normal, i'm just complaining. :)
