Third Trimester

Well, a lot of realizations have been happening this week. I went to the Doctor yesterday and had my glucose test. All the things I had heard about it was so dramatic. "I threw up when I drank the stuff", "I was so nervous about failing it", "You're not supposed to eat or drink anything before otherwise you'll fail and have to take it for three hours", "you'll probably pass out because they'll take blood and you drank all that sugary stuff" etc. I drank the stuff, it was good, it tasted like fruit punch. It didn't have as much sugar as my daily Mt. Dew. I got there, they pricked my finger and came in and said okay, you passed. I smiled said thank you and was on my way. I know I'm very lucky that a lot of other people have issues with this part, but I realized that people are much more dramatic than necessary. I am just going to stop listening to people especially those people who don't even have kids!

I am now in my third trimester, which means I'm 7 months along. Someone said, oh you only have ___ weeks left. Then it hit me. We're now at the point where we're counting down to the birth. I am now going to the Doctor every two weeks to be checked as if I could go at any second. This is all becoming a reality. Um, could we talk about this for a second? How is this going to go?

Robert and I are going to try to take this last trimester a little more easy than we have the past ones. We've successfully ignored the fact that our lives are going to change in three months. Why fret and prepare for something that is so far away. Well, now I'm huge and only getting bigger and we think it's just about time to get the crib together, buy the rest of the stuff that we need for the baby and take some time to relax, not work so much and enjoy our time together. It's going to be a world of change ahead and we need to enjoy each other now. We're excited about this next chapter. It's been an interesting journey and we're not realizing just how quickly the time has gone.

I hope that you all have a restful and fun weekend. For those of you who are going our for beers, have one for me. I hope to be able to post pictures of the crib next week.
