Well, today embarks my first day of the third trimester. I'm hoping this one is just as good as the past two. I've noticed myself waddling a bit lately, which is something I'm sure will get more and more noticable with time. I'm starting to slow things down a bit, which is really been hard, but I know it's best for me and Gage.
We started childbirth class this week, and let's just say Kim and I learned a lot! Wow! We have three more sessions this month to get through; we're hoping to be able to stomach some of those videos since we both have very weak stomachs. The first class went very well though.
I am getting quite large, but still keeping the weight gain to a reasonable 12 pounds in total. My feet began swelling two weeks ago, but thankfully it's hit and miss on when they do it and isn't a constant. Still enjoying beef for dinner and haven't had any weird cravings lately.
I went to hug Kim last night, and my stomach bounced off of him; it made us both crack up! Gage is moving like crazy and doesn't usually start until 3p.m. in the afternoon. I think he's going to have his dad's later schedule than my morning one! Kim's able to feel him move around and kick often. Last week when we woke up and were being lazy, I told him I hadn't felt Gage move for several minutes. So, what does Kim do... put his hand on my belly, talk to him and tell him he needed to move around. Instantly, he kicked! Guess he likes his daddy's voice/touch, which I love! How can he not; Kim is going to be the most amazing dad!
That's the quick summary of what's been going on and where we are. Hoping things keep progressing nicely. Here's my 28-week photo from tonight. More pics of the nursery and my first shower on Sunday coming soon.
