Oh, and 31 weeks!
But first, Christmas! A fun celebration this year. I think Baby Girl LOVES Christmas! She was so active and playful almost all day. People probably thought I was crazy because I was just sitting at my grandma’s house cracking up because it was so fun. =) She and I will have to have lots of fun every year. Because Daddy is a scrooge. Continue reading
Had a regular OB appointment on Wednesday. Pretty run-of-the-mill stuff. I am happy to report that I was a little more “with it” this time compared to last time. Not that that’s saying much.
First things first: peed in cup. Sometimes I wonder if I’m going to be lectured because my pee is too yellow, like they’ll think I’m not getting enough water. I think I’m doing pretty okay on that most days, but I often pee in the cup shortly after taking my prenatal vitamin, and that always throws off the color.
Anyway. Had a bit of a wait again before getting called back. Like 25-30 minutes. Which I still feel isn’t all that bad for a Dr’s office at the end of the day. Continue reading
Holy crap, I haven’t had a period in 214 days!
Holy crap, I’m 75% done being pregnant!
Last two weeks or so, my belly has been growing by. the. minute. Little girl has to fatten up in there, so I’m just gonna keep on growin’. =) So far, it’s mostly belly, so I guess I can’t complain. =) I still kinda like it, actually. It’s juuuust starting to get a little uncomfortable. Only a little, and only sometimes. I’m sure the discomfort will be a more prominent feature of this pregnancy in a few short weeks.

Folks, I have decided on a doula. I am actually pretty excited about it! A lot of people I’ve talked to have either never heard of a doula, or they don’t really know what a doula does. It’s easier to just post a link rather than try to explain myself, so here: doulafoundation.org/faq.php – FAQs and some basic info.
First time I ever heard of a doula was when I was in college, and my Mary Kay Director often talked about her doula since she was pregnant at the time. Continue reading
And it’s contagious.
Today I had another OB appointment. The first one since we started going every two weeks. I had my glucose test, which I knew was coming. On the way there, I asked Pete…wasn’t I told to to tell someone that I was going to be having it done and I would need the drink? But who was I supposed to tell? Neither of us really remembered, and I decided I was supposed to tell the nurse.
Ehhhh (imagine buzzer sound here), WRONG! I was supposed to tell the receptionist so I could go ahead and get started on the drink and not have to be there as long. Continue reading
OMG, third trimester already? Really? I can’t even believe it.
Last night, we went to see my dad’s band play at a free holiday ball thing. For the first time since I’ve been visibly pregnant, I wore a dress. It wasn’t even a maternity dress. Just a normal dress with an empire waist, and it normally gathers in the front a bit, so I thought maybe I could get away with it as long as the front wasn’t a lot shorter than the back. =) It fit fine, so I wore it! I did observe, however, that dresses make a pregnant girl (at least this pregnant girl!) look a fair bit larger than she might look otherwise! I wasn’t self-conscious or anything. More amused than anything else. =) Continue reading
