I've now hit my third trimester! I'm in the home stretch now...sort of. I had my last check-up this past Tuesday. Everything is looking good, except when I did my glucose screening to check for gestational diabetes, the level was little higher than the normal range. So, tomorrow morning I need to do the longer test which includes fasting for 10 hours prior and then the three hours during the test. Needless to say, I'm not really looking forward to that again (I had to do that when I was pregnant with Brynn, too), but I am hoping for the same outcome to find out that I do not have gestational diabetes.
I did start a weekly progesterone shot at my last appointment. I will now be going for check-ups every two weeks, so I'll just go into the clinic on my 'off' appointment weeks to get the shot. They usually give this shot to women to have previously delivered a pre-term baby. Since full term is 40 weeks, Brynn was considered pre-term when she was born 35 weeks. So, this shot will hopefully keep the bun in the oven!
Otherwise, I am feeling good still; my body just gets tired and stiff when I try to do things around the house or what not. Baby girl is still pretty active. I thought it felt like she had the hiccups this morning.
I tried to paint my toenails by myself this weekend. Wow, that was an adventure. Ha. Good thing no one else was around me to watch that spectacle.
