First I would like to address the eating alot thing as a pregnant womyn. If I go more than 2 hours w/out food or a drink, I start starving. I don't know if this is partially what I think I am supposed to feel or it is actually what I feel. I need to eat multiple large quantities of various food- stuff and then in btwn small quantities of food to keep up with myself. I was up late last night watching the California poll numbers come in and it just hit me that I was starving. I feel like I am one of those pregnant ladies you see on those TV commercials raiding the kitchen in the middle of the night. It was really interesting.
So tomorrow I am 22 weeks aka 5 1/2 months pregnant!!!! I went to my OB appt today and feel like an old hand at this. I know the procedure etc. I have to take my glucose test in about 2 weeks and have a final "everything" checkover with this OB before I move on to a new one. I am not sure what she is gonna check out, but I guess better to be safe than sorry- by that point I will be 24 weeks aka 6 months pregnant. I asked her about tests after that and she said well I guess the next big stuff is around 35 weeks and beyond. I was like "wow 35 weeks.. thats 5 weeks before you are due!" And even though thats 3 months away, I realized time is a flyin'. I feel like I am still back in the beginning of pregnancy and wondering about home pregnancy tests and blood betas and etc... and here I am discussing the end of pregnancy.
I love being pregnant. I can say this now as I am in the "honeymoon" stage of pregnancy- the 2nd trimester. Hormones have evened out, I'm not to big yet, I can still function quite normally and I walk around with my hand atop my hardening belly.. I can see why womyn want to do this more than once :) But I am glad that I went today and hopefully will get through the hurdle of the glucose test and will move beyond all that...
