So I have officially entered my 3rd trimester, I can hardly believe it myself. I went to the doctor at 28 weeks and she said I was the model of a perfect pregnancy. I told her I was still active and playing tennis and she had quite an opinion about that! Basically I can only play recreational tennis up to roughly 32 weeks and she doesn't want me playing any more competitive tennis right now. The news kind of bummed me out but after my last 3 1/2 hour match she is probably right. I have made it to a few lessons but I am definitely slowing down and certainly more sore the next morning.
She also listened to the heartbeat and said to me "wow you have a very active little girl!" I told her I know, baby girl has certainly been moving around the minute I sit down to rest! Tim talks to her routinely and even has attempted to ask her to settle down, but that has not always been successful! Guess we have a rising athlete on our hands.
As I was leaving the doctor's office she said we will see you in 2 weeks, I must have looked crazy when I said really I have to come every 2 weeks and that is when she reminded me I am in my 3rd trimester, holy moly time is flying!
So last Wed/Thursday I was 29 weeks and took a quick flight home on Friday to see my family as well as to celebrate my mother's birthday. I probably should not tell you how old she is but she reached a big milestone and I think she looks fantastic! I was able to spend her birthday with her, attend one of my aunt's wedding, visit with my grandfather, visit with my grandmother, and finally see one of my childhood best friends. My grandmother told me to do everything I needed to do to have a healthy baby and I promised her I would! It was a great weekend and super busy but I am so glad I was able to take the trip before life gets really hectic. I also think Tim really enjoyed his alone time as he biked close to 40 miles one day, I even think Riley enjoyed hanging out with Tim, but I sure did miss my boys!
Good Luck Jenifer, looks like you are having fun!
