Ok, so I have finally hit my 3rd trimester! I am very happy about this because it means that if the baby were to be born today that she would most likely survive (although she would be damn early!), but on the down side it means that I still have 13 more weeks to go...which makes my head want to spin right off my neck. Somebody shoot me! Not with a gun...but with a really good tranquilizer gun. Something to knock me out and/or give me a good buzz. Since I am a dwarf (not really, but close enough) it means that my body isnt built to carry much weight and consequently I am having trouble doing anything these days. I am, however, extremely good at eating and laying on my back. This is probably how I have gained the 26 pounds! Yup, I'm up to 26. Remember when I was complaining about 14? Thankfully nobody thinks I am big anywhere but my stomach and my boobs (my husband's nickname for me is currently "big tittay momma"). Its funny because people either think that my belly is huge or tiny...never anywhere in between. Its usually the people who knew me before that say its huge.
Anywho, this past Monday I had my glucose test. The sugar drink wasnt bad, it was the 2 hour wait amongst wierdos that I disliked the most. I had one guy sit next to me who felt the need to tell me his life story...and it wasnt pretty. He had a huge open wound on his face that kept grossing me out. He started the convo with "so, are you 8 or 9 months?" Thankfully our convo was short lived. I found out at my Wednesday midwife appointment that I passed the test with flying colors. No gestational diabetes or anemia. I also found out that the baby is already head down (although she can still go back up and down again before she is born) and that that was what has been causing my crotch pain. Yes, I said crotch pain. It feels like someone kicked me really hard in the pelvic bone.
We also got some other good news this week. Well, I should start off by saying that we didnt get the house I spoke of in the last post, but we found one we liked even better and we got that one! It is completely remodeled and even has a white picket fence (the American dream...right?). It has two bathrooms instead of just the 1 we have currently and one of them includes a nice size bathtub (thank you Jesus). The master bath has his/her sinks! No more cleaning up my husband's shaved hair! The kitchen is beautiful and even has a separate bar with its on sink. In the back yard there is an unattached guest studio (where my babysitters can stay while I am drinking at said bar) and a gorgeously landscaped backyard. Unfortunately, we dont move in until April 15th which will only give us 6 weeks to get everything in order before the baby comes. We (or I should say...Aaron) has a lot of work to do. I have been busy picking out baby furniture and such and I will leave the actual moving and setting up to Aaron (Haha...I mean, poor baby). We are very excited to have found the perfect place and just in time.
Life is beautiful right now...even with a sore crotch!
