That means that no matter how you slice it, I am officially into the third trimester. I can't believe the time has gone so fast. I feel like we haven't really done anything to prepare yet. Well, we did get Bae's coming home outfit.\r\n\r\nHere I am at 28 weeks in my walrus costume for an Alice in Wonderland party. I feel like the pearls really add a nice touch.\r\n

\"bump_28w\"<\/a><\/p>\r\nI had my glucose test on Friday. It was the two hour one, so if I fail any of the measurements, it means I've failed the test. I find out the results this afternoon (probably). EEP! I brought a straw, so that helped the drink go down easier. And during the test I felt fine. I remember feeling really dizzy and tired and out of it when I took the three-hour one last time<\/a>, so hopefully things will be good this time. Update: I passed, but my iron is low, so we'll have to work on that.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMidwife said that everything feels and sounds good. Bae even feels like he's already head down, which is exciting. I was already pretty sure he was head down as I'm pretty sure I've been feeling hiccups down low recently.\r\n\r\nPhysically I feel like I'm just a litany of complaints these days. I had a cough for the past three weeks that is only finally feeling like it's really going away. It was so bad that I actually went to the doctor and had a five day run of antibiotics. I'm taking allergy meds every morning and last week I took robitussin for a few days so I wasn't hacking up a lung while observing a class. My pelvis still hurts a lot and I'm getting sciatic pain on my right side. And all the coughing has caused a strain on my right side around the middle of my ribs. I've been wearing a support belt and going to the chiropractor, but there's only so much that can be done. ~sigh~\r\n\r\nBut Bae is certainly growing and kicking up a storm. My friend gave me a huge stash of cloth diapers, so that's super exciting. And I'm working with friends to plan our retro video game sprinkle for him in a few weeks. I'm trying to balance my usual \"invite everyone to celebrate\" with \"let's keep this small as it is a sprinkle, not a full shower.\" Hopefully no matter what happens with it, it will be lots of fun.
