officially in the 3rd trimester!

yes, ladies and gentlemen, i have made it to the dreaded/anticipated 3rd trimester, otherwise known as the "uncomfortably large" trimester.

and i do feel large and uncomfortable, but that is nothing new.

i went to the doctor a few days ago, and everything went well. for the first time, my blood pressure was actually not high upon the first reading (usually, thanks to my white coat syndrome, i am way high the first time and then totally normal when they take it again), i heard baby k's heartbeat again, and i got to, once again, pee in a cup and weigh myself. i think i am right on track for expected weight gain, however, there ain't a snowball's chance in hell i'm telling you what that weight is. EVER. suffice it to say that i am doing my best NOT to let the immenseness of the number completely depress me.

i also only have one more doctor in the practice to meet before i've met them all, and i like all but one that i have met so far. if i'm lucky, the doctors from my practice will be the ones to deliver me, and she chooses to come on the wrong day, i will be delivered by a doctor from a completely different practice. isn't that comforting?

i've moved from once a month visits to once every two weeks, and i actually get to see them three weeks in a row because after my visit this past wednesday, they realized i haven't done my glucose test yet, so i get to do that this wednesday, and then i have my next scheduled visit the week after that. maybe they'll tell me i can't work full time - that would be ok with me! i'm getting tired!
