Do you like the churro reference? Apparently the people who
come up with the baby size comparisons became really desperate at this point
because every comparison I found was bizarre. It was a toss up between the size of a
Chinese cabbage and the length of a churro. Churro won because A) most people
don’t know what a Chinese cabbage is and B) churros are crazy delicious.
So 28 weeks marks the official beginning of the 3rd
trimester, what the what? When did that happen? Still feeling fairly good. By
that I mean I am not yet totally miserable all the time. But don’t worry, I’m
told that is coming.
Here are a few of my favorite symptoms recently:
- Baby continues to make a comfortable nest out of
my bladder but I think I’ve mastered the whole peeing 900 times before bed
thing so I don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night. Small victories.
- But don’t worry! Since I haven’t had to stumble
my way to the bathroom at 3 am recently, the pregnancy gods have decided that
it is only fair that instead I get crippling calf cramps several times a night.
- My veins have multiplied and are having parties.
No varicose leg veins that I’ve heard about, just plain ol’ more visible. It
doesn’t help that my skin is approximately the same color and transparency as
white tissue paper. They are especially terrifying after I’ve had a bath or
shower and all the vessels are dilated and extra huge. Then it really ventures
into super villain territory.
Nausea doesn’t even deserve mentioning because I’ve gotten
so used to it. I just try not to make any sudden movements in the morning and
sip on my pregnancy tea until I can stomach something bland and carb-y. As long
as that sits well I can eat pretty normally the rest of the day, even crazy
things like APPLES.
In conclusion, here’s an outtake of this week’s pregnancy
portrait, where Daisy made the mistake of wandering too close to me while I was taking pictures. She looks
so betrayed. JUST WAIT UNTIL I BUY THAT SNOWMAN KITTY COSTUME FROM TARGET,
DAISY.
