The third trimester

I am finally in the last trimester. I am feeling pretty good minus some hip and groin pain here and there. I have gained a total of ten pounds. No too shabby! I have only gained inches on my waist and hips, 4 1/2 and 2 inches. I have done very well at keeping the my weight gain down. I would like to keep it at or below 20 pounds total. I have had some swelling issues so I don't know if I can manage this feat. I know though that if I gain water weight from swelling, it will come off by my six week postpartem appointment. Especially with breastfeeding and with a higher water intake. I want to repair the tire on my jogger BEFORE I give birth. That way, I am all set and ready to get walking. I am already pumped to lose after this baby is here. I know that I can get back down to my prepregnancy weight very quickly. That way I can get my butt back into ~weight loss mode~ for the summer. I want to get to my prepregnancy weight with Michael, 226, by Emma's birthday in August.

Things are going very smoothly with Girl Scouts. I do have an issue STILL with my old co leader. We had an event this weekend and she would ask me if I was ok. I am pregnant, not sick! She has made a big deal about a sleepover we are having at the zoo. Once again, I am pregnant, not sick. I mean dang! My birth buddy LIVES near the zoo. I am always a week late and have to be induced, EVERY TIME. If it is brought up for our camp trip in March, I will put her in her place. I will not be treated like a child. This is not my first go around with pregnancy. I KNOW my body. Why would I risk the health of my child or myself for a camp trip? Where is the sense in that one?

I have to get some more work done. Permission forms need printing...dang! I need to buy paper! I guess I will have to do my Wally World run sooner than expected.....
