Enduring The Third Trimester



29.0 wks

 My third trimester is underway and I'm over being pregnant.  A couple of weeks ago, I was in bed thinking to myself 'what a commitment this is' - it seems obvious on the surface, but if you really think about it, how many other commitments do we make that we can't really get out of?   

I'm 30 weeks now, the fetus is the size of a squash.  You can actually see what looks like an earthquake taking place when she moves.  Recent blood tests show my iron is low and sugar is high - low iron is easily fixed by taking an iron supplement.  Diet and exercise should help the high sugar but this has to be addressed at next office visit.  I usually walk with a co-worker at lunch but I've been on spring break, and on my second day of vacation I fell and hurt myself... feeling better now and will resume walking tomorrow. 

Total weight gain: 13lbs.  I see the doctor every two weeks now and he will induce me at 39 weeks, 8.4 wks to go but who's counting?!
