Third trimester...

well it's been a year and a half since the last time I posted an update.. so here goes.

I hit 28 weeks tomorrow.. finally.. the third trimester. 6 months down, 3 to go... ish.

Overall things are going well.. I'm absolutely loving being pregnant and seeing my body twist itself into pretzels and feeling my little guy kick the living crap out of my bladder. So far my health has been holding steady. My blood pressure is down to the 120/80's, which my doc is happy about. Dealing with my sugar levels has been a challenge.. I just started on insulin this past week and that seems to be helping. I spend a lot of time cranky because all I'm craving is cinnamon buns and ice cold milk.. and both are off of my approved menu items.. *grumble*

Our little linebacker has been very active. He's rolling and kicking all the time now.. mostly at night when I'm trying to settle down!

The first half of our third trimester is setting up to be a busy one. We will be car shopping tomorrow (bye bye "G") and next weekend we have our childbirth class. yikes! Following that is my cousin's wedding and a little pre-thanksgiving dinner at my dad's.. then off to texas for a week for turkey day. When we get back, we'll kick off december with our baby shower that will be at my sister's. THEN.. i can rest.

After lots of stress at work, the maternity leave situation seems to have settled down. My leave will be covered under the STD policy.. which is the norm for most small companies. I'm pleased. Work itself has been a bit of a bear.. my energy level isn't what it used to be and true to form, our workload has skyrocketed. I'm feeling overwhelmed, but there isn't much I can do about it.. everyone here is overwhelmed.

So it's friday night.. and I'm going to be heading home soon. I absolutely can't wait to change into my comfies and cuddle up with my cats and a good book. Maybe I'll splurge and have a cinnamon bun.. :)

I know there is probably more going on that I'm forgetting about, but those are the high points..
