The last lap
Yesterday I didn't even go up to BR. I had my routine glucose test and dr's appt, so I didn't feel much like rushing to school afterwards, esp not knowing how long the test (and waiting to be seen) would take. It ended up not being too bad. And, you know what, I kind of like the orange drink, but then I've always been a fan of orange soda. Though I think it made me a bit woozy initially. But then maybe that's just getting the orange stuff in Louisiana. Anyway, everything checked up as normal as could possibly be, which is a big blessing. I'll have to wait and see what the glucose test comes back as, but I'm not too worried.
Well, this week starts the final stretch--the third trimester. For the most part, I'm feeling pretty good, though starting to feel a bit cumbersome with the whole belly thing. At the same time it's a little annoying yet cracks me up. Like switching which side I'm sleeping on, which entails this conscious haul of all of me over.
And I'm much more tired. Going to Baton Rouge (85 miles each way) especially really takes it out of me. I'm stressed about what remains in the school year, which seems so little and inconsequential in light of all this other stuff I'm trying to take care of. For instance, we've had a lot of church responsibilities creep up on us lately, which blows resting on Sunday (I mean, still keeping the Sabbath, just working for the church rather than curling up in a selfish nap), and that really affects my week. And there's just a lot of other things. (Sorry to be so cryptic. Not really blogging about x, y, and z at the moment.)
So where do I find myself at the beginning of the last lap? 1) Feeling a little bit like pregnancy is forever and is getting more uncomfy. Also getting kicked like crazy, which actually sometimes hurts. But I'm glad he's strong enough to pack those punches. Watching my belly ripple along with movements also serves as all the evening entertainment I need. 2) Facing a lot in the way of Life. School just needs to disappear for a few months so that I can deal with it.
