My belly is bigger, my energy is lower, and my heartburn is meaner, but so far I'm not finding third trimester too overwhelming. At my 28 week checkup appointment, I was pricked for glucose testing (everything normal) and measured in at 27 cm- a little on the small side but no concerns as of now. We heard her heartbeat again -sounding beautiful! - she was moving around a lot, enough that my dr even commented on how visible her movements are. I'm still loving the feeling of her little self inside me and have started capturing videos of her most active moments. Sometimes when she moves, she stops in a certain position where one side of my stomach is distended further than the other- it always makes me giggle because of how funny it looks. But pretty soon she is back to her squirming and my belly erupts into more wiggling all over.
Food is better than ever- I just can't eat very much at one sitting. So I eat mini meals. Fruit is still a huge craving; other than that, I don't have any sudden food urges. I am now avoiding tomato/pasta sauces, my occasional cup of decaf coffee, and spicy foods due to heartburn attack that always follows.
With only two weeks left of regular lessons and one makeup week following that, I am starting to feel the approach of summer. With only 11 weeks left, we have fun plans with friends and family, as well as a birthing class, photo shoots, and nursery completion to keep us busy as the month of July slooowwwlly approaches.
