The Podcasts

I'm in the 3rd trimester. Yay! Never thought I'd make it here. This week was another bumpy ride complete with a passing out episode at the dentist and another trip to L&D. But all is well. Went back to the dentist where they let me sit up (vs. lie down) and the contractions I was having again don't seem to be chipping away at my cervix. Energy level though is at an all time low and my ability to move seems to get more and more restricted every day. But each little kick I get is a nudge from the babies to keep on chugging and I'll do it until they're ready to come out.

I'm at 26 weeks now. Had a scare yesterday with a trip to Labor and Delivery. All is well. Just was having some braxton-hicks contractions that were coming regularly. I talk this week about how your expectations change when you go through IF and how it stinks to be so immobile sometimes.

Not much going on this week--which is always good. I'm 25 weeks and chugging away. I talk this week about the debt IF still plays in our lives and how buying crib bedding was the scariest thing I've ever done. But see the pic? I finally did it. Hopefully this will open the flood gates of me being less of a freak and more like a normal pg woman--who wants to buy a zillion things!

Well I made it to my first big goal--24 weeks, viability. I talk this week about my 24-week appointment and u/s. There's a cool shot of our baby boy there. I also talk about how my day of pampering didn't go quite as planned and how I've been flooded with emotion since hitting 24 weeks. The countdown continues. Next stop: 27 weeks and the 3rd trimester.
