Hello, 3rd Trimester!

Today I'm 28 weeks pregnant, which officially puts me into the third trimester.  What?! How did that happen?!  This pregnancy is going by so, so fast.

I feel quite okay mostly.  Heartburn starting to get really bad, even with the Topzole meds the doc prescribed.  Also get a dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous kind of feeling sometimes, but it's definitely blood-sugar related, as I feel better as soon as I eat something.

Our next scan is next week Thursday, really can't wait to see little Ella and hear how she's growing.

My current preggy to-do list:
  • Order mattress from TreeHouse
  • Sort out all of Mia's old baby clothes
  • Order name vinyl stickers
  • Get curtains and cot linen from mom-in-law
  • Get carpets professionally cleaned
  • Wash pram, car seat and camping cot
  • Phone medical aid for pre-authorisation number
  • Fill in hospital form for pre-admission and to book bed
  • Start stocking up on nappies, wipes, toiletries
  • Book maternity photo shoot

Hmm, not too bad a list, but I must get cracking on it!

I find myself going back to my old blog quite often to see how my pregnancy with Mia went compared to this one, and it's lots the same.  Here's my Hello 3rd Trimester post that I made in July 2010.

And two most recent bump piccies:



Enjoying the boepie.  Avoiding the scale. ;-)

    Congrats on your third trimester. Not a bad list, but a list none the same, blegh, hate 'em lists.
    Funny how nowadays a pic of you taking a pic of yourself is completely acceptable. Like there is no one else in your life who could possibly do it better, haha, LOL
    Thanks for popping in on my blog!

    I love lists! And your list isn't too bad.
    Can't believe you're in the 3rd trimester already. And all I'm looking forward to is the 2nd trimester *bleugh*
    Good luck with crossing off those items on your list!

  5. Ek love hoe jou magie groei met elke liewe foto. En jy lyk pragtig!
    Sorry to hear about your hassle with heartburn, that's not nice, I had it bad with Jamie, so I remember how it feels... the burning. Hope it eases up soon!

    You have quite a list together, well done and good luck with everything!

      We're also very happy about our name choice. And it's nice for Mia to talk about baby sister Ella, makes it more of a reality to her!
