The Buzzbees

This week marks the beginning of my third—and final—trimester. I have started feeling really tired the last few days. I’m not exactly sure why, but I think it has to do with how much sleep I’m getting. Or maybe not the amount, but the quality of sleep. Almost down the minute, I’m waking up exactly every 2 hours to go to the bathroom. And although I’ve pretty much been doing that since my pregnancy started, I think it takes me longer to get comfortable and get back to sleep once I lie back down. Last night, I was only comfortable when I was lying on my back, and you’re not supposed to sleep on your back when you’re pregnant. Sadness.

Another change recently is my waistline. My belly hasn’t quite popped out yet, but I definitely see some changes… finally. Maybe I’ll actually look pregnant soon (and not just overweight). Speaking of weight, at my last appointment, I was still under the weight that I was at my initial prenatal visit. So I’ve still haven’t gained any weight. And I guess you could say that I’ve lost weight, because the baby (and all that entails) has to weigh something, right?!?

On Monday next week (July 26), we are going on a tour of The Baby Suites, where I will be giving birth. Then the week after that, on August 3, we go in for our next prenatal checkup (and I will also be doing a glucose tolerance test). And starting on Thursday, August 5, we will be going to a 4 week childbirth class (every Thursday for 4 weeks). Fun times! Maybe our schedule will be full enough for it to go by quickly. I’m sure October will be here before we know it.

So, we have about 13 or so weeks to go… I’m hoping less because I’m ready to hold Baby Buzzbee! We are getting more excited everyday and can’t wait to meet him/her!
