This is my last week in the second trimester! So exciting!
Baby girl is moving like crazy. All the time! Fortunately in the last couple of weeks she is flipping over and kicking me in the tummy and avoiding the less comfortable bladder kicks. I won't go on and on about the multiple discomforts of pregnancy, but I must say that the baby kicks make it worth it! They are getting stronger and more deliberate.
I am loving listening to baby girl with my stethascope at night time. Her heart beat is so fast and strong and I love it. Matt thinks I am a little crazy. :)
I am starting to feel huge!! At my last apppoinment I discovered that I do not have gestational diabetes (yay!) but that I am measuring ahead of schedule, at 30 weeks. My Doc says that the amount of food I eat in this last trimester directly affects the size of the baby. She recommended lowering my carbs and going on the Paleo diet. (Oh joy!) I have already given up on mac & cheese long ago, but I still tend to eat much more cereals & breads than I did before pregnancy. This week I have been digging more into the veggie box and eating sauteed spinach with eggs as well as cut up fresh cucumber. I'm trying!
Baby girl is due in September, so really I have less than three months to go. I can't say that I'm enjoying every minute, but I am trying to be positive and appreciate these last weeks of time before baby comes. Pretty much everything will change! I'm excited for what is ahead.
