14 Weeks To Go!

Seriously?! That's no time at all! That's assuming I give birth on time and not early (though I'm guessing I will be late). This makes me 26 weeks pregnant and 2 weeks away from my third trimester. I can't wait to blow up all at once and gain 30 lbs! Just kidding. Although, I am absolutely dreading gaining third trimester weight. I've gained 10-11 pounds so far which is right on track. Speaking of on track, I had another baby appointment yesterday. My belly measured at 25 weeks and his heart is strong. He is currently facing head down with the rest of the body angled on my left side. I had my glucose test done as well. Next appointment (3 weeks from tomorrow) will be to talk about the birth and do another check up. After that I'll schedule my next ultrasound which I'm DYING for. I need to schedule my 3D ultrasound soon as well. 

I've been feeling pretty well aside from some belly issues, but nothing I can't handle. Erik has been on point with foot and back massages, so my aches have been tended to. I am ELATED because my midwife told me that I can sleep on my back as long as I don't feel dizzy. Some women have a uterus that is too heavy and presses on their vein making them dizzy. I was told as long as I feel well, to go for it. I slept SO well last night. I've been craving anything pizza related and dairy. Basically give me a pizza and a glass of chocolate milk and I'll consider our marriage. I'm especially excited for Pasta Pesto tonight for dinner. It's a Dutch pasta restaurant, but it's delicious. :) I've noticed the arrival of some new stretch marks. They're very tiny and at the bottom of my stomach, but I'm sure they'll grow. This is all part of the miracle I'm partaking in, so I'll wear them proudly... and still slather them in oils and creams even though I don't believe it truly works.

I've finished my final exams so I've had time to focus on myself. Aside from cleaning and cooking, I watch Gilmore Girls, give myself manicures, go on lunch dates and generally just relax. This is my last time EVER without a child, so I'm being a little selfish. No shame. 

Well, I'm starved and am due for a giant bowl of cereal :)
