We were hit with another snow storm last night. They predicted our county to get less than an inch and we ended up with close to five inches of very wet, heavy snow. The news reported this morning that our county was one of the hardest hit in the region and school has already been canceled for tomorrow. Our poor little canopy on the back deck felt the effects of the snow, too.
The canopy used to come to a a point on top. Now it sadly sags below under the weight of the snow.
I also had another doctor’s appointment today. The doctor said the baby and I are both healthy and doing well, although he did caution me that the third trimester is considerably less comfortable than the first two. The baby has spent the last six months growing to be about two pounds, and in the next three months he’ll grow substantially, gaining somewhere around five to six pounds. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he’s not an overachiever in this area! I go back to the doctor in three weeks and get to look forward to a slew of more tests, including the gestational diabetes test (I get to drink some nasty, red sugar-water!) and several blood tests I’ve already had. The state of TN now requires doctors to run a second round of blood tests that are performed at the beginning of pregnancy, just to be sure everything is still okay. I can’t say I’m overly excited about this next appointment or the woes the third trimester may bring, but my pregnancy has been great so far and every time I feel the baby move I’m reminded that it’s all worth it! I honestly can’t think of anything I wouldn’t do for him, so what are a few tests, really?
