Hello 3rd trimester!

So this last week I weighed in at my old drs office for the last time (before we transfer back to the medical center with our new doc) and It finally happened. I just tipped over into the 200 lb range. Ugh. I'm now 15 lbs heavier (my lightest out of the 3 pregnancies at 28 weeks) and we are looking at roughly 8-10 weeks to go. I've had contractions on and off the last few weeks and last night being the worst.

I don't think we will make it to April 21st. I had to resched my regular doc appt for today to the 13th (grumble) but the cool thing is we are doing the 3d/4d ultrasound that day too. Ill be 30.5 weeks then :)

Emma and I are also getting the green snot congestion signs that we are getting sick. Dammit. I don't know if we got it at taekwondo or gymnastics but its the first one I've been "sick" and not with morning sickness this pregnancy.

Not sure if we are having a VBAC ( vaginal birth after 2 csects) or a 3rd csect when the time comes but I know regardless... This weight loss journey is going to be a real bitch come time when I'm cleared to work out. I bet Ill gain another 8-10 lbs between now and April. And I usually drop 10-15 right out of the hospital. I'm predicting to weigh 199 coming home, just like with Kaelyn.

I have a treadmill in line, as well as the insanity program lined up, but balancing calories, workout, an trying to keep up with breast feeding seems like a science project I haven't studied for yet. We will see what happens once all falls in place but if bfing messes up again (even with the pump that's about to arrive) I'm going to jump the pity party and go all out. I want to weigh 145 by my sons 1st bday next year so I will have a ton of work to do. Hopefully with the synthroid I'm o. Too will help aid in the process. I never was on it right after the previous two births so maybe this time ill have a little extra aid in that area.

Anyhow. I'm nervous and excited all the same. Not sure if anyone reads these posts anymore... But if you are, even one person... I promise you Im going to bust my ass to get there and work hard every single day. Signing out for now. :)

Ill return with photos and 4d pix of my son in a few weeks.
