So it looks like I am on Day One of the 3rd Trimester. Kind of hard to believe that I am now here. My bump is steadily growing. At the moment, the upper tummy feels tight and stretching. The latest symptom is the Restless Leg Syndrome. It gets very annoying at times and I have been drinking Tonic Water. It does help so I just finished drinking a couple of glasses and waiting for the effects to kick in...lol.
I find it hard to settle in at bedtime. I toss and turn which makes me feel bad for my boyfriend...lol. He has been so loving and supportive though. Whenever he comes home from work and we lounge on the futon watching tv, he will rub my belly. Especially if I am experiencing mild cramps/muscle tightening.
We have been coasting the first 6 months. Now that I am hitting the 3rd trimester, I know I have pull up my socks and start doing certain tasks, i.e. find a larger apartment, prenatal class, breastfeeding class, childcare, etc.
This is my first baby and still have moments where I cannot believe I am going to be a mom. I often wonder what my life is going to be like, how my baby is going to look, and what type of disposition she/he will have.
My next prenatal appointment is this coming Friday. It has been 3 weeks since my last prenatal so I figure the Dr. will have me coming in more frequently now.
