Third Trimester

We are starting our third trimester! It has certainly started with a little spunk, too. Last week I got a nasty chest cold and it is finally getting better. Then, I failed my initial glucose test, so today I got to do the 3 hour test. I had to drink the sugary drink and have my blood drawn 4 times within 3 hours. It was a small price to pay, but still not the most pleasant. Thankfully, I did get my results today that I passed :) Finally, I have had some major lower back pain the past two days. I think the baby must be pushing on a nerve or something. It was to the point where I felt like I couldn't stand up straight, but it is much better today. Maybe baby changed positions? Whatever the reason, I am just glad it is better. As for baby, he or she is about 2 1/2 pounds now and 15 inches long. The little peanut is growing like crazy! We are starting to see the doctor every other week as well. Over this Christmas break we are going to make our list of things to get done before baby arrives. We should be able to make a nice dent this week when we are off as well. We are so excited to meet our little one!
