Hello Third Trimester

I still can't believe that I am in my 3rd Trimester. Less than 12 weeks and Baby will be here. Even though at times I feel like I have been pregnant for forever, it also feels like just yesterday we were talking about whether or not we would get pregnant that month. And to our surprise.... we did! I can't even begin to explain how thankful I am for this pregnancy and how it has gone the last 28 weeks. I know there are lots of women out there who do not have "easy" or "enjoyable" pregnancies and so I count my blessings every day that things have gone so great. I am just hoping the remaining 12 weeks & birth are the same.
As you know, I am a skeptic, hello "my glass empty thought process", therefore I have really taken this pregnancy day by day and week by week. Some are better than others, but I try to remind myself that whatever is meant to happen, will happen. I was skeptic we would make it to 12 weeks, I was skeptic something would be wrong with the baby at our 20 weeks ultrasound, I am skeptic labor will be so hard, I am skeptic we will have a difficult baby. All things that are a little legitimate to feel because the process of pregnancy is so much out of ones control. I think, well I know, I tend to always think worse case scenario, so that if something bad does happen, I feel like I am prepared and not blindsided. But on the other hand, it does take away some of the joy of pregnancy because I am too hesitant to fully enjoy the process. I know I will look back in 6 months telling myself that I should have enjoyed the process more, yet I still can't train my mind to start thinking more "glass half full". Even though, I have been so fortunate with this pregnancy, I still have that small pit of worry in my stomach.
With all of that being said, I am very much looking forward to all of the changes the next 12 weeks will bring. We still have LOTS to do before Baby can make his/her arrival. Having a baby really is the most amazing thing in the world and I am so glad my husband and I chose this path for our lives!!

P.S. Off to due my glucose test... I have heard mixed opinions about it. As you know from my weekly bump updates, I am a lover - I mean LOVER - of all things sweet-- so I am hoping it won't be too bad!
