28 Weeks....Third Trimester Finally!

I finally hit my third trimester on Thursday!! Thank goodness. I feel a huge sense of relief and am ready for the home stretch. I have met women who say they absolutely love being pregnant. I, however, am not one of those women. While I love feeling the baby move and know that I am providing nourishment to our little girl, I am quite ready for her to be here. I'm starting to feel really run down---tired beyond tired. I am typically in bed by 8:00--at the absolute latest!

My glucose test went okay. They told me that I "squeaked by." I don't really know what that means---my number was 135---I suppose I should keep an eye on my sugar intake. If it was 140 they make you come back and do the 3 hour test. I'm thankful I didn't have to do that! My iron is also really low. So now I am taking 2 iron supplements daily on top of my pre-natal vitamin. That is going okay--so far. They told me that it might make me nauseous but I've been taking them on an empty stomach and with a glass of orange juice.

I'm excited that the holidays are coming up. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my absolute favorite times of year! I love spending time with family and friends. :) I heard on the radio on the way to work----7 weeks until Christmas! I need to start my Christmas shopping!
