We're hitting another milestone this week and getting into the home stretch! I want to say this pregnancy has been a breeze but I want to knock on wood at the same time because I feel like I'm entering what will probably be the more difficult 3 months. I had my gestational diabetes test last week which wasn't a bad process at all. Passed, but barely! I even declined the Halloween candy the night before. I was not a happy camper when I couldn't have my nightly bowl of ice cream either...but thank goodness I don't have to take the 3hr test! Now that I'm in 3rd trimester, my doctor visits increase from monthly to every 2 weeks.
Baby's size: 15in. long and a little over 2lb
Total weight gain: 12lb. With each new week my little innie is slowly becoming an outtie!
How do you feel? I've noticed my balance has been a little worse standing on one leg especially when trying to put pants or shoes on. I did a slow motion fall in the bedroom once trying to lean over to grab something. I had acid reflux a few nights after dinner. I've never experienced this before in my life and Tums didn't seem to help but drinking milk with dinner did. I think I may need to see a chiropractor at some point in the next month or two. I feel so out of alignment and I can no longer pop my back on my own.
What else? It has officially become uncomfortable to bend over and tie my shoes! I also have to be quick about it when I'm putting socks on or I run out of breath. I can also no longer see the underside of my belly! I made a joke about it last week telling Mathias I'd need a mirror to know what's going on down there and he spit his drink out he started laughing so hard!
Moment of the week: Last weekend, I felt baby hiccups for the first time! At least I'm pretty sure that's what they were. It was too consistent and rhythmic to just be kicks. It only lasted a few minutes and hasn't happened since then, but it felt really neat against my hand!
