Well we're getting to the point where it is hard to call all my friends to keep them up on the progress of "the bun in the oven," so I thought it would be a good idea to start posting here for everyone to see at their leisure.
I am officially at 29 weeks today and in the final stretch!
While most women that I know who have been pregnant tend to be excited about the 3rd trimester, I am slightly long-faced. I have enjoyed my last 28 weeks with child. Even with all the travel for work and the reduced selection of my shoe options, I am having a wonderful time being pregnant. I have embraced that my body is not mine for these 40 weeks but more of a haven for one of God's beautiful miracles that will be introduced to us sometime in the later part of March.
My blood test from my last appointment was just fine except that I am anemic. The Dr. prescribed an iron supplement that has worked out pretty good for me. Now I am not falling asleep mid-sentence anymore. Although the latest edition of the Pregnancy Weekly newsletter stated, I need to learn the art of power napping at this stage... perfect timing! Had I gotten that email sooner I would not have complained about being tired all the time.
As far as pregnancy symptoms, the most notable I have experienced this week is ankle swelling, the numbness in my left pointer finger which has recently been joined by a "catch" in my upper left arm, and the desire to have very icy water.
I have another appointment in a couple days. Hopefully everything still checks out well.
