Welcome to the third trimester!

Posted by Katie on

Well 2/3 of the way done!  I am officially 28 weeks today!  My cohosts seem to think this time has flown...me?  Not so much.  I feel like this time has dragged on and on.  When am I finally going to get to meet this kid???

Things about my pregnancy right now that have surprised me.

-the naseau is back and with a vengeance!  I thought I was past the morning sickness.  Nope, it is back and fierce.  I don't throw up, just wish I could throw up to get rid of the feeling.  I pretty much hop out of bed with a stomachache, and it tapers off early afternoon.  Really makes for a fun show :)

- Insomnia.  I am tired.  A lot.  But yet, the sleeping part isn't coming.  Sure I get the kicks at night, but thankfully have been able to sleep through them, but if I get out of bed to go to the bathroom, or wake my husband up from the couch, yep, it will take me hours to fall back asleep...and when you wake up at 4 am, I don't really have those hours.

- I don't have as much motivation as I thought I would have.  We are 84 days away from this kid...or less, and we still don't have the nursery done.  Luckily we do have a basinette, and I took care of the clothes situation this last weeked.  We would be able to last a week with bringing the baby home at this point.  You know, as long as we don't need diapers or anything.  But one thing is for sure.  Baby Schurk will not be sleeping in a drawer and will not be naked. 

- My appetite.  Eating a half a bowl of cereal is daunting.  I was stuffed after about ten bites of lucky charms...but starving 30 minutes later.  I didn't realize that the only reason I am full is because their simply is no room for food.  So I have now turned into a slow eater.  I need to learn to pace myself.

It is nice to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we all know this kid will be worth it :)
