I'm 27 weeks today, and 13 more to go! Depending on how I think about it, 13 weeks feels like forever, or it seems like nothing at all. When I think of all the preparation that still has to be done - completing the nursery, making sure we have adequate baby gear and clothing, taking childbirth classes, arranging my LOA from work - it gets really dizzying and I don't like to think about everything that still needs to be done in the short amount of time. But then I look at my belly in the mirror and see how big I already am, and I add 13 more weeks to that, that's when 13 weeks feels like forever! I can't even imagine how huge I'll get before this is over. Since the last trimester is when Katie will do her bulking up, I'm hoping she'll take most of the pregnancy weight with her when she checks out of my uterine hotel in a few months.
No pregnancy complications to speak of, and for that we feel blessed. I passed my glucose tolerance test with flying colors, so no gestational diabetes. And going to the bathroom two or three times a night isn't considered a complication, just an annoyance! No stretch marks (yet), no outie belly button (yet), no heartburn (yet). I have noticed new areas of spider veins forming in my legs though....ugh.
Next doctor's appointment is July 1st. We'll start going every two weeks at that point. Katie is officially enrolled in daycare now, she's scheduled to start in January. I'm dreading that day already, but Nathaniel and I love this place and feel comfortable leaving her in their care.
Not much else to report....our fifth wedding anniversary/Babymoon getaway is coming up in a couple weeks. Can't wait!
