3rd trimester starts tomorrow

I can not believe how fast the 2nd trimester went. Tomorrow I'll be at 28 weeks -- 12until we can lay our eyes on our precious little baby. I hope the next few weeks fly by.

Here are some random quick updates:

* I've gained 26 pounds
* I passed the glucose test and my iron is fine
* My doctor wants more on my birth plan. I only have epidural and Brian cutting the cord
* I have three showers in April. I'm thankful for my friends and their generosity
* I'm having visitors this summer -- mainly coming to see the baby
* My best friend is moving April 4 to Portland. She's only a phone call away but I'm still sad.
* I'm more and more tired
* My feet hurt all the time
* I'm paranoid most of the time
* I've been really bored lately
* Birthing classes start soon!
* This little guy kicks all the time

That's all I can think of for now. Part of being tired all the time has lead me to be a very boring writer.

Note to self

On Saturday, I did a ton of running around. I did it with out eating because I have lost complete interest in food. I eat something and within an hour, I'm hungry again. This baby is going through I major growth spurt, I believe but food doesn't taste good to me. Well, around 5 p.m. on Saturday I became really nauseous and weak. I thought it was the flu and cancelled my evening plans I've been looking forward to all week. I choked down a LarBar and felt like I was going to throw up. In fact, I conned my friend into getting a sitter so we could go out but I had to cancel.

At 6 p.m., I crawled into bed and woke up at 9 p.m. to my husband checking on me. I got up for an hour and then ate a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich because it sounded good and my stomach was rumbling. At 10 p.m., I was running a 99.9 degree fever and made my husband run to Fred Meyer for Tylenol and Tums.

Sunday morning I woke up craving cinnamon rolls which really confirmed it wasn't the flu. I remember the wise words of my friend Shawn "if you're craving it, eat it!" So I made my husband take me to our favorite bakery for a cinnamon roll.

I thought it was the flu as I was achy and had the chills but now I believe it was because I just wasn't eating so let that be the lesson ... carry something in your purse in the 3rd trimester (which starts on Friday).
