Hello 28 weeks, and helllooooo 3rd (and final!) trimester! It's so nice to meet your acquaintance. I trust you'll be kinder to me than your two younger sisters.
Today was my glucose screening test. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. For weeks, I've heard horror stories about how awful the sweet drink would be. First, I selected the orange kind. Second, they had it cold for me. Third, I drank it with a straw. I was surprised at how NOT bad it tasted. (Course, I'm a sugar girl, and had been abstaining all day). The only bad part is that at 2 minutes left (they give you 10), I still had a ways to go. That's when I just had to start suckling down the stuff. That's when I could see why other women have thought it so bad. There's this bitter after taste when you suck it down that fast. And you immediately want some water, and yet, can't have any.
Right after I drank, I had my dr appt. It was not with my regular ob/gyn, so it was a little less comfortable. I've gained a total of 13 lbs. Heart rate was 145. He said my uterus doesn't have much more room to grow upward, so I'm going to start protruding horizontally.
Sienna has been moving a lot more lately, and for the first time, others are able to feel it. That's pretty cool. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the baby movements, I am starting to get more used to them, and of course, greatly appreciate and am thankful for them.
Hearturn is still pretty bad. Still adverse to meat. But no vomiting, and only mild nausea in mornings/evenings. Sleep isn't so bad, except for the frequent trips to the bathroom. My hair is growing rapidly, as I'm noticing the roots start to show (I wasn't born blond; but I was born to BE a blond!)
And... sorry if TMI ... but I've started leaking the colostrum.
Yummy.
Love the belly picture! I really like the sleeves on your shirt - so cute! I hope you feel better in the third trimester too! I am sure you are getting excited to meet your little girl! Have you started getting the nursery ready yet?
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful! I'm glad you passed your glucose test. I chose orange too Unfortunately, I didn't pass. :(
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you're already leaking! Your body is definitely getting ready for Sienna's arrival!!!! Hugs!!!
I can't believe you're leaking either. I didn't pass the first glucose test either, I failed by 8 points, but I passed the second one! I hope the third trimester will be kinder to you as well! Such a cute pregnant lady!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad all is well. I hear you on hair growing fast! I posted to you on my blog comments. My glucose level came back high on my 12wk b/w and that is why I had to take the test so early. I will retake b/w 20-24wks. I picked orange too, had 5min to drink it. It left the worst aftertaste in the back of my throat too. Yeck! You look adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I am glad you are doing so well. I hope the nausea goes away for you.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I also didn't think the orange drink was as bad as everyone had told me...I wouldn't drink it voluntarily but it was drinkable - though I had to drink mine in 5 min!
ReplyDeleteI am also a hug sugar girl and thought that the lime drink tasted a bit like sprite without the fizz:) So, happy that you are on the last leg of your race. Can't wait to hear about your labor goes and most importantly......to see pics of your beautiful baby Sienna. Much Love!
ReplyDeleteYou're so stinkin' cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so tiny! Lookin' good! Glad everything is going well.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! I need to get a belly shot up on my site. I am such a slacker! Glad to hear you passed. I did too and literally drank my drink in one breath to get it all down quickly : ) It was pretty easy for me, fortunately! I can't believe you are already leaking and having BHs! It won't be long for us now!!
ReplyDeleteheart that belly :)
