So I am officially in the third trimester now!! I cannot believe it-with Arie it felt like it took forever to get to this point. This time it is just flying!! I guess between school, work, an over-active 18 month old and an overly-dependent Basset, life has not allowed me the luxury to pay as much attention this time around, but I think I prefer it this way!!
I have my glucose test (yuck!!) on Tuesday, so tomorrow I have to be very careful with my sugars and Tuesday I have to stick to proteins (no starches, no fruits)-a VERY difficult challenge considering how sick I have been this pregnancy!! It is nice to not be at 45 pounds plus at this point in the pregnancy (like I was with Arie) but at the same time, I am really done with feeling sick almost everyday!! I feel like it just steals my joy and makes me want to lay in bed all day which is NOT an option!!
I felt pretty good today though and got A LOT done. I'm even blogging-which OBVIOUSLY shows how much energy I have because I haven't been the best at this lately!! Usually cleaning is a very difficult task because she is so low I have trouble leaning over and whatnot, but today I got on my hands and knees and scrubbed our bathroom and kitchen floor, washed down our walls, and then made it through a 1.5 mile run with Noah. It actually makes me pretty sad to only be doing 1.5 miles, but this far along, I am just grateful I can do that much!! I'm hoping if I can stay around 1.5-2 miles 3-4 times a week during the pregnancy then it will be a lot easier to hop back on the wagon once I have the babino in August. As long as I don't break my foot again!! Here's to hoping things will not be as challenging this time around!!
I am really really looking forward to summer starting soon, even though I have to work a few weeks in June, the extra money will be nice and I will have The Hamptons to look forward to in between so I think I can handle it!! :) I just can't wait until next summer when I won't have ANY classes!! I can't even remember life without going to class several nights a week-plus the pay increase will make teaching actually worth it instead of getting less than $100 per day at a job I am constantly attacked at and cussed at, etc. Ahhhhhh-life will be so nice then!! Although I guess I'll have a 2 and 1/2 year old and an almost 1 year old running around so I'm sure things will still be busy!!
Anyway-I just wanted to pop in on a good day to say how excited I am that Idina gets here soon!! My first appointment with the midwife is this week, so hopefully that will be a better experience than Total Woman was!! I'll post once I meet her. I'm actually starting to reread my Bradley Method materials again tonight so we'll see. Maybe this time around my water won't break ridiculously early and I can make it through without the drugs!! I just really really don't want to be confined to a bed for almost two days again!!!! That was beyond miserable!! The rest I think I could handle if that was off the table!!
Okay, going to go and read now-here's to hoping this trimester FLIES BY!!!!!! Fingers crossed!!!!
