This week marks the start of my third trimester! In just 12 short weeks (give or take a few days) our sweet baby girl will come out and play.
This week I've had tons of "fun" doing responsible pregnant lady things like having my 28 week appointment, taking my glucose tolerance test, and getting a Rhogam shot. Boy am I exhausted!
That glucose test kicked my butt! How it works is you're not supposed to eat sugar for 12 hours beforehand, eat a good breakfast (without sugar...harder than it sounds!), and then two hours later go to the doctor and choke down some nasty drink filled with sugar.
After that, you sit in the waiting room for an hour and then they draw your blood to check for gestational diabetes. I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm ok. Not eating sugar for 12 hours was REALLY hard, I hope I don't have to do that again!
On a happier note, I've finally found relief from my constant heartburn!! Thank heaven for Prevacid...I feel like a new woman. For those of you who have never experienced heartburn, you are VERY lucky. I was taking like 10 tums a day before, and now I'm not taking any, and eating whatever the heck I want!
Another fun thing we did was start our baby registry at Walmart. Last night Jason and I were just wandering around the baby section and I joked that we should create a registry soon. After making that comment, I started doing the math and it seemed about the right time, so we did!
It was so much fun seeing Jason get excited about random things like Winnie the Pooh bed sheets and a zebra diaper bag. lol!
(I thought he would consider this too girly, he was sold once
he saw the cute zebra on the front.)
He's a keeper.
