Woo hoo... 3rd trimester is officially here! I think every source I've read has noted a different start date for the 3rd trimester. My week-by-week book says week 24. The Mom-2-Be app I downloaded on my phone said the end of week 26, one website says 27 weeks. One online source had a calculator that noted July 8th, which mathematically it makes the most sense (2/3 of 40 weeks is 26.6). So that's what I'm going with!
Apparently BBH is going to be a big baby. I had my monthly check-in on Wednesday morning. I did the gestational diabetes screening test first (drink a bottle of gross sugary stuff and then get a blood test). I'm a little worried about the results because I felt all jittery for a while after drinking the stuff. Keeping my fingers crossed! After the blood test was the regular check-in with the doc. BBH's heart rate is good, but my uterus is measuring at 28cm (should be somewhere between 26 and 27). Doc didn't seem concerned, said that because Dan and I are on the tall side that we should expect a bigger baby. Big to her means 8 pounds, which is okay by me. We've pretty much been banking on an 8 pounder all along anyway. Hopefully not too much bigger than that though!
In other news, my belly button has been slowly creeping it's way from an innie to an outie for a while now. It was flat for quite some time, but it's popping out now!
