30 weeks

As of yesterday I am 30 weeks pregnant! Wowee. I said to Mr. S, "If our baby comes in 8 weeks he/she will be considered full term." And he, and I must admit I, were like "!!!!" That is soon! To be in the 30's is crazy-wonderful for me.

I am feeling very lucky and happy to be progressing well. I have my daily annoyances: swollen and hot feet, sore back at the end of the day, extreme grumpitude when I get too hot, and the current worst: Waking up almost every night and being awake for an hour around 4 am. But, each day I am pregnant is another day our baby is growing well and in the best place. Having seen my sister-in-law give birth at 28 weeks, and watched her tiny baby, her and her husband deal with the NICU for months makes me realize how lucky I am to have this baby inside still.

I know, ask me the same question in 6 weeks and I may have a different answer.

My class starts tomorrow. I wonder if my students will freak when they see me walk in with my large belly?

28 weeks, third trimester!

I have had a crazy social weekend(but paced myself, so am not worn out) but I am ready for some couch time with Mr. S. So, I am just here to proclaim my joy and gratitude for making it to the third trimester and 28 weeks!
I feel lucky and blessed. The baby moves continually, and in new places. My feet get hot and swollen, but I can go to the pool and swim, which helps immensely. I have friends asking me, "when is the shower?" and "how are you feeling?" almost daily.
Thank you for your continual support!
