30 weeks!

A milestone for sure - only 10 weeks to go!  And less than 6 weeks left of work - I can't wait!!!!

I have my next appointment with the midwife on Thursday where I will get the results of the gestational diabetes screen.  They said they would call me if the results were a concern, so I'm sure everything is fine.

My youngest brother got engaged last weekend!  No word yet on when the wedding will take place - his fiance is still in school, so I think she wants to finish school first.  But, I will get getting a new sister in law, so that's exciting!

My other brother and his wife are enjoying their European adventure.  They have already been to London, Paris, and Switzerland.  They are now in Germany for a few days and then on to Venice and Rome to round out their trip.  Sounds like they are having a blast!

Hard to believe!  The baby is super active these days and the kicks/jabs are getting stronger!  So much so that I am often woken up during the night.  I don't remember J being quite this active.  Or maybe she was and I just don't remember.  I do remember she had the hiccups a lot and I have yet to feel that with this baby.  Could also be that with J, the placenta was in the front, so I didn't feel things as much.  This time, it's in the back.  Also means they have had no problem finding the baby's heartbeat since there is no placenta in the way!

I should get the results of the gestatinal diabetes screen this week.  Our next appointment with the midwife is on the 27th.  Then we have our follow up ultrasound on Oct 5th.

My brother and his wife left for Europe last night!  They arrived in London today and are doing a trip down through the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.  They have a lot to see in 18 days!  So excited for them!

28 weeks

Hard to believe I only have 12 weeks left before the due date!  Yipee!  I have less than 8 weeks left of work - double yipee!

On Thursday, I have my next appointment with the midwife.  This is where I will have my screening for gestational diabetes completed - so, I am calling it 'smarties day' since I get to eat smarties instead of going to a lab and doing the orange syrup thing.

My hubby and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary on the weekend, so we went to Kingston for a weekend getaway.  Since it was POURING on Saturday, we went to a movie (The Bourne Legacy - it was really good!) and then went for a nice dinner at The Keg.  They gave us a free dessert since we told them it was our anniversary.  Then on Sunday, we went to Gananoque and went on the 1000 islands boat cruise to Boldt Castle.  We had 2 hours to explore the castle - it was awesome!  What an enjoyable trip all around.  It was so nice to have some time just the 2 of us before baby arrives.

27 weeks

I am officially in the 3rd trimester now - yay!  Feels good to reach that milestone.

Things are going well with baby.  I'm feeling lots of movement and everytime we go to the midwife, the heartbeat is somewhere around 145 to 150 bpm.  My blood pressure is always around 110/75, which is just fine.  So, everything seems to be moving along well!

We have our follow-up ultrasound scheduled for October 5th to check the platenta location.  I'm sure it will be moved out of the way, but it will be nice to get that confirmation.  And we get to see baby again, so that's always nice!

Hard to believe I have less than 9 weeks left of work - can't wait!!!!
