Photos taken when I was 28 weeks.
Although I am 31 weeks along as I'm typing up this post right now, I want to mention that little trimester sandwiched between the morning sickness of number one and the uncomfortable-ness of number three. Second trimester was quite nice. My appetite was back to normal, there was no more nausea and I was rocking a cute bump in all of my maternity clothes glory. Sure, I was waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom multiple times, but at least I was sleeping comfortably. This baby has been really active and I love feeling her move around so much!
I had the pleasure of doing the three hour glucose tolerance test because my numbers were a little high with the one hour test. Hmph. I spent 3.5 hours at the lab where I had to drink the double sweet (pretty gross) glucose drink and get my blood drawn four times. Good news though, I do not have gestational diabetes and I got to read the book The Giver while I was there. Yahoo!
Let's talk about maternity fashion. Is it only me or do other pregnant women hate wearing maternity jeans (at least, in the summer)? I've found myself wearing a lot of skirts, maxi dresses and long tunic tops over maternity leggings this time around. Honestly, I mostly wear tees and pajama bottoms when I'm home with my little buddy Jack. I actually don't mind wearing maternity clothing (except for the jeans) so I'm lucky that way. They do have some cute things available to wear with these baby bumps.
We haven't done or gotten much for baby girl yet. Money has been tight so we (well, mostly me) are trying to be patient in purchasing anything for her yet. My mom and sister were so excited to do a little clothes shopping for the babe so I was lucky to let them start it off for us! Thank you mom and Michelle! Baby girl has some cute things hanging up in the closest now. Next up-clean out the downstairs office, move the guest bedroom down, and move Jack over to his new room. It's weird to start thinking about toddler furniture and bedrooms! What the?!
We are sure getting excited for her to come. Jack loves to give his baby sister hugs and kisses already!
