3rd trimester

I can't believe it but I have reached the final trimester. It honestly feels like Christmas morning was yesterday and I was sharing the news. Overall the second trimester went great. I feel good and everything has been smooth. Hardest thing is probably the heartburn and carrying a 30 pound toddler on top of the extra weight. I feel really good though and hope for three more months of smooth sailing. At the end of the second trimester, total weight gain is 14 lbs. just as a comparison i had gained 8 at this point with Hannah. current craving is in and out. On Tuesday I went for my glucose screening which checks for gestational diabetes. I failed the first panel with Hannah so Im a touch nervous. It's basically 2 1/2 hours of sitting in the lab and you get your blood drawn three separate times. You fast and then drink a very sugary liquid. Personally I don't think it tastes bad. It tastes similar to orange soda but some woman can't stand it. They even warn you by saying if you throw up you have to go home and reschedule. Those must be the really healthy woman who rarely eat sugar and therefore their body is in total shock. Sadly my insides probably don't even flinch. I'll thank my mom and grandpa for that one. No results yet, will obviously share when they come in. Today Tim and I went on our hospital tour. I know it's easy to forget but Hannah was born at sequoia hospital in redwood city. Jack will be born at Hoag. It feels good to see where to park, what floor to go to, etc. nothing like an ocean view room to deliver your baby. Don't get too use to it little jack after one night (yes that's right thank you Obama who has never given birth. You now only stay one night) you will be returning to rsm. The rooms look great and the hospital is beautiful. I per registered and everything is starting to feel real. Getting excited jack!
