Little girl, you sure are growing good in there!
This past Monday marked 28 weeks/7 months, and boy does it feel good to get to this point. Everything I read in my books says that a baby born this early has a very good chance of surviving with medical intervention, so a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm more relaxed and feeling great.
With Sidney, I felt like I got good and fat all over during pregnancy - but with Nugget, I feel like she's all belly! She's a million times more active than Sidney was, and it's so strange to have a baby that actually moves. Like, a lot. Sidney never moved. She hiccuped. But that was about it. Nugget is definitely a mover and a shaker (just like her Daddy was, god help us all).
I passed my 3-hour sugar test, so no gestastional diabetes for me! Since I failed the inital test a few weeks ago, I've been trying to cut out my sodas (my biggest sugar source), and I've definitely upped my water intake. I'm always thirsty, it feels like, and I've always got a bottle of water with me nowadays. I can't get enough of the stuff! I've done good with my weight so far; I lost about fifteen pounds when I first got pregnant, and I've only gained ten of those pounds back so far - I'm still in the clear of not gaining more than 20 pounds total for a gal my size!
This pregnancy has definitely flown by; I feel so unprepared thinking she could make her big debut in just eight weeks. We don't have her crib up, none of her furniture is up actually - with the exception of her swing in the living room. We've bought a few packs of diapers and some onesies. And that's about it! I feel so behind on everything, I know I'm going to get a crazy case of nesting syndrome and try to do it all at once if we don't get started on it soon. It's hard to believe I'm less than 90 days away from meeting my little girl!
