Like a pro, right?
Way is really social, playful and happy. He loves to go on walks with his Dad. He hardly ever sits still, actually. He is always trying to climb on or explore something but not in a naughty way, you know? He's just really curious about everything, including pooping in the toilet, which he has done twice this week (OMG YES). I'll be so excited when it's warmer out and we can go to the park or even just play in the yard. I know he'll really love it. He is also a really loving kid. He gives lots of hugs to me, kisses to his Dad, and pets to our dogs and smaller babies. I'm not quite sure why he thinks other babies get the same affection as dogs, but whatever, he means well.
The only concern I really had for the pediatrician was that even though Waylon chatters and communicates all day long, he doesn't really say many actual words. For instance, he makes a noise when he wants something like milk or to be picked up, but when you try to get him to say "milk" or "up" he'll look at you like "yeah lady, that's what I'm trying to tell YOU!" Then he makes this exaggerated growl/sigh as though he can't believe he has to deal with this idiocy. Geez kid, I'm trying to help you. Your life would be way easier if you attempted to say some words, fool! The pediatrician is not worried at all, so I guess maybe it's not such a big deal. In addition to his "want noises," he's also happy to babble all day long in Waylonese to us and his stuffed animals, complete with hand gestures. So, you know, whatever.
I also had an appointment last week with my midwives. From now on, my appointments will be every two weeks! That's exciting, it means we're getting close to the end. I'm measuring a few weeks ahead but I'm not worried because I also did with Waylon. It's nice to finally be in the third trimester and see a light at the end of the tunnel. Here's Way snuggling with the baby:
But I failed my f*&$% 1 hour glucose tolerance test.! Ugh. I'm actually writing this blog post as I sit here waiting for my 3 hour test to be done. Seriously, how wise is it to make a pregnant woman fast and then pump her full of crack juice? That crap makes me feel so sick and I'm sorry, but when you don't eat much processed sugar, I think that shiz is too much a shock to the system. I've also really enjoyed being denied water for 12+ hours. I'm sure that's healthy too.
I want to update soon with some house projects, including the nursery soon. I'm just waiting on a few more things to come in. Here's a sneak peek of the almost finished library, with Way's new toy. Get ready for some lessons, kid.
Right now, back to people watching and counting down until I can have a glass of water. (1 hour, 17 minutes!)
How far along? 28 weeks, 5 days.
Total weight gain? Nope. Let's not discuss.
Maternity clothes? Who are you crazy people who hate being pregnant in the summer?! Dresses > jeans. Leggings are fine but no tops cover my ass. And putting on boots is the worst part of my day. Today I went outside in over a foot of snow wearing moccasins because I'd rather have cold wet feet than struggle with boots anymore.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep? Not bad, not great. I have a complicated system of pillow propping worked out so I can almost kind of sleep on my stomach.
Best moment of the week? I got all of Sweet Pea's bedding today!
Miss anything? I have been fantasizing about sitting in steam room for the past few days. Just super hot with some eucalyptus scents to breathe in...it sounds amazing.
Movement? Yes. Still pretty strong but not as much. I imagine it's starting to get cramped in there.
Food craving? I've been really blah about food lately. I am just consuming calories as fuel, which is a pretty depressing statement. Food is usually my favorite hobby. Oh, I could drink Diet Dr. Pepper all day long....but I don't.
Anything make you sick or queasy? Smells. If someone has bad breath within 10 yards of me, I just can't deal.
Gender? I had another dream it's a boy.
Labor signs? I think I've had some Braxton Hicks action lately. I'm not really sure.
Symptoms? Physically, I feel really good. I think acupuncture and yoga are the reasons. It's getting more difficult to breathe at times.
Belly button? It's out.
Wedding rings on or off? I have not been wearing them much lately because I'm getting weird eczema underneath my engagement ring. I don't know if it's the design or what. So I'm giving my gross skin a chance to heal.
Happy or moody most of the time? Moody. I ain't gonna lie to you.
Looking forward to? The end of winter, sometime in the near future, pleeeeeeease?
