I am officially in the 3rd trimester this week and with it comes the aches and pains. Over the last couple of weeks I've been having what I would describe as slight cramps only to find out that they are actually contractions. Not to worry, my body is just doing what it should do although I was instructed to avoid as many things as I can that seem to cause them; dehydration, sitting in one position for long periods of time, etc. My doctor has recommended that I cut my work schedule back to 6 hrs/day...yay!
I had a checkup with my doctor today and got the glucose test over with. I'm also RH negative so I got a shot too for that. (ouch!...yeah I'm such a baby when it comes to needles)
When we were listening to the heartbeat the nurse was trying to feel around to see how he was positioned. Right now he is laying long-ways across my belly...feet on the left, head on the right. No wonder I've been so uncomfortable! That must not be a common position at this point b/c she seemed pretty shocked to find that he is positioned that way. My next appt is in 2 weeks; it's hard to believe that we are at that point already!
Shane's first week working his second job was sort of tough for all of us but I think we have adjusted well overall. I think there's a positive scenario from every aspect...Jeff and I get more quality time together these last few months, Shane feels a sense of accomplishment, and we have extra money to add to our savings and also to buy all that baby stuff we need. Which reminds me....the nursery needs so much more work!....
Blessings,
Misty
