Anyway, this week was quite busy in terms of Molly. Tuesday I had my 3rd Trimester bloodwork done. The glucose test was not that bad at all. Just annoying. I also have this nasty bruise under my skin from getting my veins pricked three times. The weird one is that it didn't hurt at all. So I was rather surprised when I looked down a couple days later and had this massive bruise. Oh well. My OB let me know that they'd only call if I did have gestational diabetes. If not, I'd find out about my bloodwork at my next appointment. So far, no news! So here's hoping it keeps that way.
Thursday, we had our 2nd and final Ultrasound! Molly cooperated and the doctor got a good look at everything he needed to. He said she looks great. The ultrasound picture isn't the best one this time around, but super cute. If you look at her closely, you can see both her eyes as she's looking straight at the "camera".
As far as the rest of the week, Molly has been gaining weight and won't stop moving. She's particularly fond of the hours between 7-10AM, after lunch, 3-7pm, 9-midnight, and 2-4AM. Apparently, she's already getting her own schedule down. Which is really cool to realize/feel. I do have to admit though, I could do without the cartwheels at 2AM. Hubby's been having fun feeling her kick and move. She definitely loves his voice and also will NOT stop moving when he has his hand on top of where she is.
For me, I've been feeling quite wonderful (besides the cough). Not gaining too much weight, back isn't hurting too badly except at night. The only thing that's been a bit of a pain (quite literally) is the round ligament pain and also when Molly decides to dig her elbow or knee up into my ribs. I've been feeling rather awesome, though.
I'm still amazed that I'm in my 3rd Trimester already. It's crazy to think that in 11-12 weeks, I could be holding my darling Molly! Assuming she comes on time. For all I know, she'll be late or a couple weeks early! We are sooo excited. I can't believe she's almost here!
This weekend I went down to Escondido to visit Jess. I took the train down (which ended up being a great idea cause of how rainy and messy it was here yesterday! I did NOT want to be driving), and spent the day with her and her darling son Charlie. We had such a blast hanging out, eating good food, and talking. We traded Christmas gifts and overall, the visit was exactly what I needed. She also introduced me to this stuff called "cookie butter" from Trader Joe's. It was like cookie dough peanut butter. Way too yummy. I need to go get myself a jar. (Thanks Jess!)
Nothing too much happening this week. Just working and relaxing.
Here's my picture! I'm definitely pregnant. It's a bit strange to see your stomach move of its own volition when Molly is kicking and rolling around. Hehe.
