Third trimester!

Well I've finally made it to the third trimester, I'm 27 weeks today. Sorry to whinge, but time is going oh so slowly!! I friends online with a group of girls who are all due in July and most of them say how quickly their pregnancies are passing by. I just feel like I have been pregnant for a year already.

But everything is going well. I had a scheduled visit to the midwife three weeks ago, and she said everything was looking perfect. My next appointment is with my obs next week. I'm looking forward to a quick scan on his fuzzy machine as you miss out on that when you see the midwife. I had the glucose test for diabetes last week, so I'll get those results back too.

My belly finally popped out and now I look pregnant at last. I'm struggling to find comfortable maternity pant. My favourite item of clothing at the moment is my maternity trackpants, they are so comfortable. I get sad when they are in the wash and can't wear them when I get home! I have two pairs of maternity jeans that seem to fall down when I am standing up and walking around, bu they almost cut me in half when I sit down. My work trousers are a bit the same.

We're having a 3D scan just for fun in 11 days. I can't wait to see her again. But I'm really nervous to see that she is actually a girl. What if they got it wrong and it's a little boy?? We have so many pink clothes already!!!

Then in 13 days I'm off to Cairns for a week. I have a 3-day work meeting, which I'm not particularly looking forward to. It's not one that you can sit back and relax. I'm the Tassie rep and I need to be on my toes all the time as it's a very interactive meeting. But what I really am looking forward to is catching up with one of my dear friends and her family afterwards. They live about an hour from Cairns so they're going to come and pick me up after the meeting finishes and I'll spend 3 nights with them. I'm sure it will be full-on as she has three very lively girls all under 7, but it's going to be awesome. I miss her a lot.

Now I must get back to my assignment. This is last assignment I have to complete for my course and it is killing me! I set aside Easter to do it (it's already late and I have an extension) but I was hoping to have it done before then. But I've spent a large majority of Easter procrastinating over it and today is the last day of Easter and I still have 3000 words to write. I'm so annoyed with myself!
