Hello Again!
Well, we are finally into our third trimester! It's amazing how fast it snuck up!
We finished our labor preparation classes at the end of April. Lance has been practicing his massage techniques for the delivery room...not that I mind! We also took a child and infant CPR class. We hope to never have to use it, but it gives us sound of mind at least!
Kaylee has definitely been increasing her movements. Now I get jabs, kicks, bounces, and punches. I can see the movements from the outside too, which is cool and crazy at the same time. My stomach has been taken over!
I passed my glucose screening with flying colors. The glucola wasn't too bad...it reminded me of those Hawaiian Hi-C drinks...super sugary fake juice. Of course, I had it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and it took several hours before they could peel me off the ceiling. WHEEE!! My iron levels also checked out - apparently the "best they've ever seen". I don't know how that is, but I'll take it!
Lastly, Lance and I picked up the rest of the furniture for the baby room - a toy chest and changing table. I can't wait until the room is painted and we can set it all up!
What the baby is doing: By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world
Weird Preggo Stuff: Suddenly I hit 7 months and I can't get comfy. Sitting, laying, sleeping. I just feel these weird pressures all over. Hopefully I'll come up with a good position for the next couple months.
Mind Blowing Thought of the Week: My coworker was chaperoning her daughter's school field trip and it hit me: WE'RE going to be able to chaperone Kaylee's field trips! It was one of the first moments when I realized that I was going to be a parent. Not just have a baby, but be a MOM.
What I miss: Drinking as much caffeine as I needed or wanted in a day.
What is exciting: The weather is finally getting nice and I feel so much more energetic!
Upcoming Events: My first baby shower! I am really excited!! :)
