28 weeks

HELLO 3RD TRIMESTER!

28 weeks is the official start of the 3rd trimester.  I am both looking forward to and dreading this last phase of my pregnancy.  Looking forward to it because in 3 short months (or less) I can have a diet Pepsi again.  Just kidding.  Our baby will be here and how exciting is that?  

I'm dreading it because my "bump" is already so big and only getting bigger.  I'm starting to become uncomfortable and I know that is only going to get worse.  I'm sick of my waist bands rolling down (should have said shove it to "cool" Alison and went ahead and bought full "granny" panel everything) and spend most of my day trying to tug low rise maternity leggings up over my swelling abdomen.  I feel like "socks" - the developmentally delayed man who was often on the bus with me 15 years ago. He had a tick where he obsessively tugged up his sports socks, like every 10 seconds.  I hated getting on the bus with socks.  I don't know why it bothered me so much, but now I'm him.  What comes around, goes around.  Lesson learned, universe.

I'm also dreading it because... well have any of you been around me while I'm trying to wait for Christmas or my birthday?  I'm a 3 year old.  Yea,  it will probably be like that only maybe a little worse...  

BIG NEWS THIS WEEK:

I passed my glucose tolerance test!  I can continue eating tons of sugar so I can give birth to a 10 lb sugar-crack addicted hellion.  


I'm also ever so slightly anemic which is the norm for me so I'm not really concerned.

The carpet was put in on Monday, so we can clean up the mess of tape, paint, and carpet and padding bits.  Next we will finally look at baby  furniture and Chris' next task is putting up the ceiling fan.  Let the IKEA shopping spree begin!

I would like to note that I'm sitting in the "green" patch of our lawn
