Welcome to the third trimester! This week has been met with some new, rather uncomfortable symptoms. My back has been bothering me a lot this week. Baby girl is still in her same old position, so I’m not sure what is causing the backache, but I want it to go away. I think maybe its my hormones relaxing my body because I’ve had some joint pain as well. I’ve woken up in the night with charlie horses in my legs this week too. I don’t know where my nesting energy has gone, but I want it to come back. I am tired and don’t have the drive to cook dinner or even take a shower – don’t worry, I still do! I have pretty much checked out at work. I don’t want to be there at all and I just want to be on maternity leave. It is really hard to get up in the morning and make myself get ready. I have been really moody this week also (just ask Javier and the kids). I feel like such a grumpus, but I can’t help it. Baby girl is still regularly active. As far as I can tell, all is well on her end. These next few weeks are going to be long, I can tell.
