Yay! I made it to my third trimester, it is crazy to think about. The pregnancy has gone by pretty fast... until now. These last few weeks just seem to be dragging on a little bit. I am just anxious to finally get everything put together and ready for her arrival. I am now approaching the home stretch so I can start to put my hospital bag together and her diaper bag with everything she will need at the hosptial. I am going through all my birthing preferences and writing them down so I can have a well informed Husband, Midwife and Nursing staff as I go through my birthing time. I feel like there is so much to be done, but I can't do all of it now. By the end of September I hope to have everything done. I just can't wait till my little girl decides it is her time to grace us with her presence.
Since I am now 29 weeks, I have started to have my appointments every 2 weeks, which is certainly a milestone. I am excited to listen to my baby girl every other week and not once a month. There is just something about listening to her hearbeat that makes everything so much more real. I took my 1 hour glucose test last week and it came back high. I got to go in yesterday and take the 3 hour glucose test. I got a phone call this morning and everything came back great. I dont have gestational diabetes...yay! Although now Greg won't let me eat much sugar anymore, which makes it a little difficult since it is one of my staples.
I have now attended 3 of my 6 Hypnobabies birthing classes. I have opted for a natural childbirth and the methods taught in these classes seem like they will work very well for me. I will talk about this more another time.
I feel I am on a pretty good track to be prepared to have this little one here. Greg is more ready than I am. Almost everyday he talks about how he doesn't like waiting and the whole pregnancy thing. He wished pregancy was only like 2 or 3 months long, but there is a lot to be done so I am glad it is a little longer.
