Well, 23 weeks and 5 days according to my midwife’s charts…but 24 according to my calculations.
The good news is that I only gained a pound since my last visit, and the wrist brace is definitely helping with the numb/stiff fingers in the morning. The bad news is…there is no bad news, actually. Everything’s going great. Let’s keep it that way.
Next visit is the diabetes screening. I’m not really looking forward to gulping down the Stuff. I’ll also be getting my TDAP vaccination which apparently you can get while pregnant. Fancy that.
My work gives us a week and a half off, and today is my first day back. What did I do over the holidays? I slept, cooked a ton, cleaned a little, played Borderlands 2, and enjoyed the relative peace and quiet. This time next year won’t be so peaceful or so quiet, so I’m filling up on serenity while I still can, and pondering how I’ll reclaim it once the wee one’s around.
No deep thoughts at the moment. Just happy to be having a relatively peaceful and easy pregnancy thus far, and going to continue doing what I’m doing to hopefully keep it that way.
