Well I am officially feeling like I'm into my third trimester. My baby bump is no longer a bump, but rather a basketball looking bump. I underestimate my size as I still try to squeeze between things I used to be able to fit through, but don't fit anymore. I still feel really good though! I have some minor aches/pains in my lower back that bother me every now and then. I'm tired most of the time again, but I also attribute that to having a job that I am on my feet all day long. It's difficult to stay on my feet and always smiling for my little first graders some of time! Sleeping has become a little more uncomfortable. It's more difficult for me to get comfortable and I do wake up a couple times throughout the night to go to the bathroom. All in all, I'm still having a great pregnancy and feel good.
Baby Noah is moving all the time!!!!! He definitely sleeps more during the day and is still awake at night. I'll be interested to see if this pattern stays the same when he is born. There are periods through the day when he will wake up and move and kick for about 30 minutes before going back to sleep. During the night he kicks pretty strong and moves a lot! He has even woken me up while I've been sleeping with a strong kick!
We started going to the doctor every 2 weeks now that I'm in my third trimester. We had our 30 week appointment the other day. I got weighed, measured, etc. Everything is still looking great. I passed my glucose screening and anemia blood test, so no problems! She said my stomach is measuring where it should be and commented that I am definitely carrying all the weight right in my stomach. I'd like to keep it that way! We heard the heartbeat - a nice, strong 142 beats per minute.
Our next appointment is the morning after Thanksgiving... I'm not looking forward to being weighed that morning! :)
