State of the Me
I'm now 28 weeks pregnant which, according to my book, means that I'm officially in the third and final trimester. \o/
It's been three weeks since my last day of work, and I am very glad I quit when I did because my energy levels, if anything, have dropped even further. I am so tired, guys. But at least this way, I can still get stuff done around here (slowly, but that's better than nothing) and lie down whenever I need to. I do still get pretty frustrated with lying in bed when I have a million things I'd like to be doing, but it's better than being sick.
Speaking of which, I only ever seem to get sick now when I let myself get too tired without resting or when I don't drink enough water. I finally have an actual appetite and actively want to eat at meals. There are a lot fewer things that gross me out, now, which is really nice, too. I got weighed on Tuesday at my doctor's appointment and I'd gained four pounds in the past month, which made my doctor very happy. Still not really craving anything odd, though someone brought a flat of nectarines home from Costco last night and I've already eaten three of those and kind of want another one.
I can't honestly say that I'm looking forward to not being pregnant anymore because at this point the whole concept of not being pregnant seems vaguely baffling to me. I've always been pregnant, haven't I? I am, however, looking forward to a time when all my muscle groups and joints will work properly again and it'd be nice to be able to stand up for extended periods of time without my feet getting all tender and hurty.
William Leonard Anderson IV (aka His Fourthness, aka Bear) continues to have a healthy heartbeat and be very active. Must be nice. Not that I would know. *gives belly the stink-eye* He kicks like crazy any time I lie down and frequently moves so much in so many different places at once that I am convinced I'm bearing a squid or possibly a pair of squirrels rather than a human child.
In related news, I'm having a really hard time keeping up with the old friendslist just now because sitting in an office chair at a desk has become supremely odious to me (and especially to my back). Some days I get to everything, but other days I barely have a chance to see anything. So if I miss something you want me to see for any reason, do feel free to comment and let me know, I really don't want to miss it.
