A few new things in babyland:
1 - I got the results of my gestational diabetes test back...and I passed!!! :) Yay for not having to fast for another one, yay for no more needles, and yay for not having to change my diet!
2 - my 1st OB/GYN appointment is next week. It's a doctor that Chris and I are familiar with and both like so that's good.
3 - Rib pain has started. Apparently (according to my doctor) I have a short torso and my uterus is right under my ribs so baby is pushing on my ribs causing pain and a feeling of constriction. Unfortunately this is a pain/discomfort I'll deal with the rest of my pregnancy since my uterus is only going to grow more but there's not much more room up there. My doctor also told me that because my uterus doesn't have much more room to grow up, it'll grow out and so I'll be 1 of those pregnant women with a big belly out front - fine by me! I've been getting comments since fairly early on about how big I look.
4 - Next week I will be in the 3rd trimester - wow! Time has flown during the 2nd trimester. The 1st trimester was filled with anxiety, nervousness, cautious optimism, extreme exhaustion, and morning sickness. The 2nd trimester was easy and fun - 19w ultrasound, feeling the baby move, belly constantly growing, energy was back, and morning sickness was under control/gone. I'm looking forward to seeing how the 3rd trimester will be, but more looking forward to what happens at the end of the 3rd trimester (birth of Baby Sherwin). 14 weeks until my due date!
And here are some recent photos:
