Third Trimester... Again!

 

At our last appointment, my OB informed me that she bumped back our due date 11 days based on the u/s measurements. Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, my fundal measurements have been right on or above, I first felt her kick at 15 weeks ( 13 weeks seems like a stretch) and Peanut was small in his too and he arrived just fine on his due date.

But whatever, as long as I don't end up going late, there's no issue, right? She'll choose her due date then. She knows what's right.

We passed our glucose test so it seems I do not have gestational diabetes. Always a plus! We had an awful time with that blood draw though, they weren't able to get the blood in my right arm, but he kept trying and trying and trying and eventually my firm hold gave way and I had to focus on not passing out. Sighs. I had hoped that had stopped since my first pregnancy. Can't always get what you want I guess, and maybe I will have a hard time if I want to start donating plasma with the hubby.

He stole my asparagus soup

Peanut's been... at least acting like he is going to grow. I'll have to check him here soon. He had his stereotypical growth week at the beginning of the month, but we didn't notice any extra height. But he's been waking up early and still eating plenty the week after so who knows what's going on. Maybe his toes are growing. Maybe it's that big fat brain. Every day we hear him getting sharper with his statements/comebacks and attempting at learning some humor. His favorite things to say are "Is that a good idea?" and "Which way I go..." We're still waiting on some nice weather this summer, it's been so super rainy. He has a hard time accepting getting wet so he doesn't like to go out in the rain much.

Peanut just informed me I have one minute to finish this up. We've got a fun week coming up, tomorrow we're celebrating Papa's birthday, Thursday is Thomas and Saturday Uncle A is flying up. We're having a transportation week, I got him a new driving iPad game (he rediscovered the iPad a few days ago actually, he wanted to play on my gameboy and I reminded him he had a tablet full of games). He got to ride the snowmobile in an arcade. Trains and planes coming up. We're talking about monster trucks. Not sure what else we'll do offhand, I'm having an off day today, so... you know... space ships. Enterprise. Standard stuff there. Maybe go to the library and find some new books on the subject.

I think my minute is up, ciao!

Busy Busy June

We've entered our third trimester! It's starting off full of painful kicks, making it harder for me to breath and hurting my back. But everything is managable yet, fortunately. Trying to get a lot done in June so if I have to cut back the rest of the summer I'll feel less guilty.

Peanut saw his Great Grandma and family yesterday in a get together, he behaved as well as one could hope. Then this Thursday we go back in to take another peek at Almond, hopefully she behaves better. And in one week I get to go in for my glucose test. After that appointment there's one more I'm not particularly looking forward to, and also just the 2 week appointments in general. This summer can go by quickly for all I care. I know I'll regret saying that in winter, but I'm glad right now that Almond is going to be my last.

Peanut's upstairs singing Enterprise to his train movie. I'm going to give up soon and have him help me make some blueberry rhubarb sauce, our plant is out of control. Rhubarb that is, it doesn't look like my blueberry bushes survived being transplanted. I don't know, I won't say that yet. Just they look unchanged since early spring, which is troubling. Excited that it looks like both my bulbs and kohlrabi are coming up. My peas still I can't tell if any of the teeny weeds are pea shoots, so likely they didn't do well. But mom gave me some more seeds to try, I think I'll plant those in a different spot and give mine one more week to come up. Tomatoes are still good.... oh shoot I was going to go buy eggplant today. But I don't really want to get in the car again right now... it can likely wait another day.

I wanted to have themed weeks over the summer, I'm not sure what to call this week yet though. We're kind of busy for a lot of the week to go anywhere else, but we did go up Rib Mountain this morning. Maybe rock week, hehe. We can draw pictures of rocks? Make a rock collection? We climbed rocks today. I dunno, I'll think on it.
