As we wait for the arrival of our little guy I figured it was probably time for a third trimester update. While things are still fresh in my mind here's a third trimester list-
- Today we are at 39 weeks.
- He's over 8 lbs probably and actually probably about 9 lbs now.
- I am feeling and seeing him move around in my belly.
- He's very active however he likes to stop when others try to feel him moving, especially his dad.
- I have even more heartburn - I will not miss this once the baby comes.
- I continually feel like I have been riding a horse as my hips and pelvic region are changing.
- I now waddle walk which I try not to do but sometimes it's unavoidable.
- I'm still not into traditional baby stuff so much but I have accepted some of it will be here it's unavoidable. (It's a struggle).
- I am very excited for cloth diapers and cloth wipes.
- We are very excited to meet and see him as are his aunts, uncles and grandparents - being the first grand baby makes it just that much more exciting.
- Sleeping has become more difficult at I get up at least 5 times to use the restroom at night.
- My pelvic has hurt significantly in the last few weeks which I find walking around and stretching seems to help.
- The doctor says this is because he's positioned himself lower in my pelvis (positioning himself for labor).
- Dustin would be very pleased if he just went ahead and showed up already he asks me several times a day if the baby is coming now.
- He also has been telling people I'm "nesting".
- I'm not entirely sure he knows what nesting is which is too cute.
- I'm actually sick to death of everyone asking me how I feel.
- I have decided that maternity leave in the USA is a joke.
- I am grateful however to have the tiniest leave at my company.
- Also grateful to have good insurance that covers almost 100% of normal pregnancy stuff.
