28 Weeks - Third Trimester!

Well, baby is certainly growing nicely in there and is very active.  I think his movements are different to Joseph's at this stage, Joseph was a bit more violent in the womb lol

I haven't been feeling that great this week.  I had several episodes of nearly fainting at work on Monday and since then have just been very light headed, tired and breathless.  I had my routine 28 week polycose and subsequent antenatal blood tests done on Thursday and went to my GP for a check up yesterday (Friday).  Turns out my iron stores are again very low at 5 (normal 20-200), though I'm not anaemic yet and my blood pressure is bordering very low too.  So both of those combined equal one very tired and space-out feeling Mumma!  Thankfully everything else seems to check out well.  My GP has started me on iron supplements and I just need to keep up my fluids to help the blood pressure which usually drops at this stage apparently before rising again.  So, hopefully I will be feeling much better soon.

I'm certainly getting more round now.  Everybody at work has noticed that I have a baby bump and I've run out of free room in my scrub top. Only five weeks until I finish!

I have sorted through Joseph's newborn-3 month size clothing, didn't realise how much we had and so much of it is barely used!  I have washed the first lot and have a couple more loads and a woollens load to do as well, then all the new baby stuff that I couldn't help myself buying hehe.  As you can see, I've been busy pottering away in the nursery and the cot is made up too.  Very excited for our new wee man to arrive!
