Guess what? I turned 27 weeks pregnant this week. Do you know what that means? By all practical accounts? I’m totally in my third, I mean LAST, trimester. Can you believe we made it THIS FAR? Remember the days when I couldnt even imagine myself SHOWING, much less having a baby? The days where I prepped for doctor’s appointments by replaying my past miscarriages in my head so I’d be emotionally ready for the bad news? The days where I scowled at ANYONE who even mentioned anything related to a nursery or possibly a REAL BABY. I was a mess, and you saw me through it, THANKS.
Well, I can obviously imagine myself SHOWING now, but still not doing well on the realistically imagining a baby thing.
Today I have another check-up. For the last several visits it has been, listen to the heartbeat, measure my belly, blood-pressure, weight check and send me home. I havent even had to disrobe! Much less be examined.
But I think today is when they go back to the VERY personal visits, and let me tell you, after a rough first trimester with clots and miscarriage risks, I’ve enjoyed NOT being poked and prodded in my privates. I’m not looking forward to having to get back in the stirrups. At least I like my doctor. I’m telling you, is there ANYTHING worse that being examined by someone you don’t like? Nope. Trust me. I had LilZ on Medicaid and had NO CHOICE as to which doctor I saw, and I saw a different one everytime, and half of them? Sucked. It’s amazing how much better the OB situation is now that we actually have REAL INSURANCE. Wee!
So - doctor’s appointment today at 9:15. Glucose tolerance test next week, 4D Ultrasound the week after that, and then BABY…in THREE MONTHS.
Shit. I’m really having a baby, aren’t I?
Zoot, I love the new design. Yay! Third trimester. Good luck at the doctor today.
Zoot,
Good luck at the doc’s! Can’t wait to hear about it. Before you know it the 3rd trimester will be over and you’ll have this new little miracle in your arms that will rock your world.
LOVE your new design, A LOT!
Good luck, Zoot! I’ll be checking in every hour or so to see if you’ve updated or not! ^_^ As everyone else, I LOVE the design! It is sooo pretty and bright! ^_^
I’m very happy for you, and I’m glad to see that everything is working out for the best. ^_^ I can only wish you the best of luck. ^_^ MIght want to get that crib soon! ~_^
Hard to believe, isn’t it? After years of not getting pregnant and believing one self to be infertile…I know what you mean! As the time fast approaches, it seems very surreal and a host of other emotions.
Congrats on your 27 week mark!
(My last appt was at 27 weeks and they *did* check the southern regions…very exiting!)
Yay! All should be well with the doctor, and yes - you’re REALLY having a baby!!
Any ideas/planning/themes for the nursery yet? Just let me know.
And I’m glad you made this your default skin, it’s so pretty! I saw it a while back when you were still using the HP one. This one’s alot nicer to look at in the morning when you’re waking up b/c it’s pretty.
Zoot, you are totally having a baby. For real. Good luck at the doctor!
You are, you are! I am using the cutest new skin to prove it! Love it, girl!
Sending good thoughts your way for your appt. Everything will go just fine! Well, except for the whole privates poking thing which always sucks a$$. Hehe!
Did you say ultrasound coming up? Yeah! Can’t wait to see the incredible cuteness that is Baby Zoot!
Love the new skin! You are MEGA TALENTED ZOOT! Good luck with everything! I am SO HAPPY for you!
Ew! Glucose test = awful. It’s been awhile (4 yrs) since Swimmy was born, but I STILL remember that thing. So cool that the 4D imaging is available now — wish we had had that with the Swimmy ’cause we opted out of some of the tests do to a high rate of “false positive” results… would have made the anxiety level drop tremendously to have that! Good luck!
Happy 3rd Trimester!
Happy 3rd Trimester!
Yippee!!!! Yah! Third trimester. WoooHooo. Good luck at the doctor today.
The next three months will fly by and you’ll be holding that beautiful baby girl before you know it. And yes she is beautiful… I know it in my bones.. How could she not be when you know she’s got her mom and dad’s awesome genes!!
Yep, you really are having a baby. Good luck with the doctor. Oh, and I also love the new skin.
wheeee!!! Happy 3rd trimester!!! I am all giddy for you!!
Yes, you really are! And I’m so happy you’re confident enough to put up this new (beautiful) baby skin! Great job!
Good luck on the glucose test! You’re so lucky that you don’t have to drink that stuff!!! (I do!)
Yes you are! And I’m so happy for you.
I love the new design. It’s by far my favorite to this point.
Also, I heard you are having a baby? Any truth to that?
I’m glad you are finally to this point (ya know, light at the end of the tunnel and all that).
Wee! You unveiled the new skin! It’s so cute and baby girl-ish. You’re having a baby! How crazy is that?
I love the new look & colors!!!! Last trimester - the end is near! I am so happy for you. Can you throw in a good word for me & Mr. Chera with the fertility gods????
