We're in the third trimester now...and more anxious than ever to meet Evan! As I sit here and type it is currently about 3:30 am and I have been awake for over an hour with heartburn. YUCK!!! I never knew heartburn until I was pregnant...holy moly! I guess making a bean burrito before bed last night was a bad idea! Evan loves beans!!!
Although we can't wait to meet Evan-there is still so much to do! He needs to grow! At the last Dr's appointment we discussed my family history of premature birth-this raised a red flag for us. I was born at 32 weeks and my sister at 34. As a newborn, I stayed in the NICU for 3 1/2 weeks due to my underdeveloped lungs-so as a precautionary measure Dr. Fletcher gave me two steroid injections to promote lung development. She also ordered another ultrasound to check to make sure I haven't started dilating yet. I have had some Braxton-Hicks Contractions and pressure-so we shall see.
I am on Christmas Break from school and it couldn't have come at a better time. I am sure ready to rest! Next week is my baby shower and I am so excited! ;) It will be at Nissa's house and she's making me a giant burrito-GOD BLESS HER! Have the Rolaids ready!!! YUMMY!!! :)
