Third trimester


I had been away for a girls weekend to Minneapolis, when I returned home I was welcomed with this bright cheery bouquet of flowers with my milestone reminder. Wow, time is flying! I had anticipated this being a long 9 months, but in reality, it has moved along quite quickly. It was so nice to come home to flowers. This is a habit Im hoping wont soon be forgotten. 

We had an ultrasound last week to reevaluate the location of the placenta, as well as a regular OB appointment. Everything went great. The placenta has moved and the baby is 2lb 9oz, placing it in the 52 percentile. The Perinatologist placed me in the 'normal' or 'boring' category, something I have not been in in nearly 18 months. When he said this I felt like the word 'normal' bounced around in my brain for a good 3 minutes. And then it sunk in, what a great feeling. I can sit back and cruise until the baby is here. The OB appointment also went well. The heart rate was 138 this week and I passed my glucose test. I now go in to see the Doctor every two weeks. 

Im hoping to finish up the nursery in the next couple of weeks. Ill post before and after pictures as soon as I do.
