So technically the third trimester of pregnancy starts at week 28, but I'm a bit late on the post here so you're getting my 29 week photo. Which seems appropriate given the size of the little one being compared to an acorn squash, and today being Thanksgiving in the US. All is still going great with my pregnancy. I have really been extremely lucky throughout in terms of no real complications. Other than a wriggly acorn squash attached to my stomach, the biggest signs of pregnancy I have had so far are (in no particular order):
My doctor recommended that I start teleworking one day a week to cut down on the transport time to and from work, which I've now started to do on Wednesdays. Also starting next week, I will start driving to work instead of taking public transportation, which is normally totally fine, but the bus has been a bit unreliable recently and the metro is horrible during rush hour. The additional challenge of being 7 months pregnant in the winter is that my coat is so big, people often can't tell I'm pregnant so don't offer me a seat (which is actually very much needed these days). On the flip side of the coin, Michael and I have both been feeling the little guy moving around in my stomach like an acrobat throwing his own dance party at the best nightclub in town. There is NO mistaking the kicks these days, which are starting to turn into being able to differentiate limbs from one another. He's currently hanging out sideways, with his head towards my right side and his feet on the left. Feeling him move is one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and to get to share it with Michael is beyond joy.
