| August, 26w4d: Seven weeks since last appointment, the baby has grown quite a lot - is still perfect in size, neither too big nor too small. Just over 1 kg! Now s(he) is so big that it's getting more and more difficult to get the 'big picture' on the u/s monitor. BUT a big enough picture to confirm that we're indeed having a ... !!!! Ha! Keep guessing, everyone! Not just the baby, I too seem to be growing... apparently I've added almost 8 kgs so far... must've been all those Swedish cakes I've been craving during our 3 weeks vacation...! Gynecologist told me to 'go easy with the food'...! Glycose test and blood pressure were both just fine though - think I'll celebrate that with a piece of Swedish cake! Just barely in 3rd trimester, I'm starting to feel what people talk about when they talk about the last trimester sufferings: swollen, painful feet, leg- and foot-cramps at night, exhaustion, difficulties getting out of bed (finally I have an excuse!) - and just as summer's setting in, trimming my bikini line is becoming a blind guess... Hey, but it's great to be pregnant!! |
