Third Trimester!

Ahhhh, only 12 weeks left. This time during the pregnancy with Elliot it was freezing cold and snowing. Today, it's 90 degrees outside and 80 degrees in my office (damn corner office with tons of windows). A bit of a change but I'll take it because it's light out until late and I can park myself at the pool all summer.

Of course, the time left makes me reflect on all of the things I have yet to do. Such as, get Elliot's new room set up, get Elliot sleeping in a new bed, fix the garage, fix the deck, kitchen, etc. The list seems to go on forever. I have so much to do, in fact, that it's been hard to even think of being pregnant, except for the aches, pains, and heartburn. Zoloft, anyone?

Nothing new to report, but I am happy to say that my glucose tolerance test was acceptable so I don't have to take the 3 hour test this time. The only issue I am waiting to see about now is my blood pressure. It was a little higher at my last visit, and then higher still at a recent physical therapy appointment, but the jury's still out. Frankly, I'll trade a bit of high blood pressure if it means I get to be induced again. Chalk it up to the control freak part of me, but I like knowing when I have to be at the hospital and I like have the house cleaned beforehand. Also, this time it will be nice to be able to make arrangements for Elliot in advance. Bring it on!
