Blogging & The Third Trimester...so far.

36 weeks

Well, there is plenty that I would like to write about but I lack the motivation & confidence to write most of what has been on my mind.

I have been working on a post about breastfeeding for a while, but I just can't seem to really organize my thoughts on it. I suppose I am just not one of those people who can put their thoughts & feelings down in writing. It's much easier for me to discuss topics face to face with people.

I've also been wanting to keep up my posts about the midwife experience - especially for those of my friends who are hoping or considering midwifery care for their future pre/postnatal needs. And yet I am seemed to fail miserably at that too. Though I do have a midwife appointment tomorrow & then a home visit the week afterward, so maybe I'll post more about it all then.

The third trimester has so far been good to me. I've not experienced the debilitating fatigue I've been told was coming my way, & the discomfort I was told about has only SLOWLY started to creep its way into being something worth complaining about - though, according to my husband, I have complained very little!

The last three days have proven to be a little more icky then the last - Squeaker is sitting REALLY high which means my stomach feels like its in my throat, & I'm having trouble getting comfortable in bed most nights. The only other thing is groin pain that very suddenly struck me yesterday while shopping. HOLY. COW. It hurt so bad I was yelping when it would strike. Thankfully I had a prenatal class that night & asked about it - apparently its totally normal as the pelvic/hip bones widen and the ligaments stretch.

Other than that, I've had plently of energy throughout the day, getting sleepy at the usual 3pm time (like I did before getting preggo) & even the Braxton Hicks contractions, though they still come every once in a while, have stopped hurting.

And thankfully enough, though the time seems to be slowing down, & rushing by all at once, come this Sunday we will officially qualify for our homebirth! Which will be a HUGE relief to both of us since we both despise the Belleville hospital.

So maybe I'll work a little harder on this blog over the next little while & try to make it something worth you reading.
