Third Trimester..... wow!

Well, it's been a long week and a bit and today is technically now my "friday" when it comes to work and that's such a relief! I really do love my job but by the end of the day I've had it!! Just knackered!!
But I'm very relieved and grateful that I have now moved into the third trimester!! How exciting!!!
Thought I'd take stock of changes occuring in myself so when I look back I'll remember things a little more clearly.....

Starting to feel "tight" in my stomach now. My belly button hasn't popped out but I am noticing it's alot flatter than normal! It's not normally very deep anyway. I really don't love "outties" but guess you can't put off the inevitable! Plus everyone says they go back in after bub is born!! lol!

Am now contemplating going up again in bra sizes. Who would've thought?! I started a small B cup and about 17 weeks I went up to a C cup and now I'm thinking about increasing again but will try and wait a couple of weeks and see how things are then. Otherwise I'm going to end up with a whole range of different sizes and probably not wear half of them again!!!!

Bub has been moving HEAPS which is great cause there's nothing more reassuring than feeling that movement. It's a bit quiet this morning and that's unusual given how active it is normally, but I'm sure it's jsut settling into normal sleeping patterns (or so the books say they do about this time).

No stretch marks yet thankfully and am continuing the twice daily ritual of practically bathing myself in as much moisturiser as possible AS WELL AS bio oil on top, and I'm bascially a walking oil slick around my torso, but I'm hoping it does SOME good!!

Not feeling like much tea at night time still. I find I fill up quickly when eating so eat my bigger meals during the day and then only have something light at night so I'm not so uncomfortable at night when I go to bed. I find it helps me sleep better and seem to be less likely to have to get up to go to the loo! I think this week alone I've slept right through 4 nights without loo stops! It's bliss!!

I think that's about it really. Have my first antenatal class next Thursday night which will be great! DP and I are on annual leave from tomorrow, heading over to our rental house to spend two weeks painting it so it's not REALLY a holiday as such but if we can get it done, I'll be so relieved to be able to tick that off the list! So we''ll have to drive back from the house on Wednesday night (3 hours drive) and DP will work on Thursday, then we'll go to the class Thursday night and then we'll drive back to the house on Friday arvo (another 3 hours drive) and stay for the following week. Then when I get back I've only got 24 work days left..... Can hardly believe it when I think about it!

On a positive note just wanted to say a massive congrats to Nani who had a wonderful scan yesterday and got to see bub and a heartbeat and I'm sooooo thrilled for her!!! Stay sticky little one!!
Also, hanging out to have the same wonderful news for GS shortly...... not long now!!! : D
Am hoping Rolz has some good news about BD'ing around O time and hope those awful O pains have subsided and you're feeling better?!?!
And Em, haven't heard from you for a while but am praying your follies are behaving and your injections work and this cycle brings you the luck youso deserve!!!
Summa, I hope you have a wonderful time away in Fiji and you and DP can add positivefuel to the debate over babie's just "happening" when you're relaxed and not thinking about it!!!!
Of course big hugs to all the UTD girls in the gang! Everyone looks so well in their pics and updates and I can't believe how quickly time is flying!
Well, that's it for today and may be a bit MIA whilst we're away painting but will continue to monitor blogs etc when I can!!! Keep well and see you all soon!
