The third trimester was easy in the beginning. The second tri honeymoon was awesome. I was fortunate that I had very limited swelling. The only day it was bad was when I coached a basketball tournament at 36 weeks pregnant. My ankles quickly turned in to cankles
December was a very uncomfortable month for me. I started to get the "I've been pregnant forever" attitude and became very anxious to meet my girl. At my OB appointment on the 22nd I asked about going back to work on the 5th of January. My doctor and I decided that since my LMP due date would have been December 28th ,and I work 2 and a half hours from the hospital, that we would induce on the 5th if she didn't come on her own. There is no joy when you're 37 weeks pregnant than knowing a for sure date you won't be pregnant anymore!
I did not see the high risk OB after Thanksgiving because they were seeing more serious cases during the holidays. When we did see her, she looked great at every scan so I wasn't worried.
They last few weeks of pregnancy were hard, especially being that pregnant during the holidays. Although I didn't love being pregnant, I did enjoy it and it is so worth the prize in the end.
