I am 28 weeks pregnant now, marking my arrival into the 3rd trimester! Generally I am still feeling good, although I have had a few issues. For instance, last week I woke up at 4am with ridiculously painful leg cramps. It was mostly in my right calf and seemed to last forever! Cameron (who has had his fair share of painful charlie horses) ran to get me some water and offered to rub my legs. I had trouble bearing weight on my right leg for the next 4 days. It was like my right calf muscle ran a marathon in 5 minutes. Yowsa. Heart burn is still occasionally a problem, but it's not nearly as bad as it was. I have been pretty good about preparing ahead and taking Zantac when I know a bothersome meal is in my future, I also have bottles of Tums placed in handy locations. Another issue is my growing belly. Maybe it's not so much an issue as it is an inevitability. I am learning that I am smaller hip-to-hip than I am belly button to back, and fitting through doorways and maneuvering around equipment at work has been a learning experience. I feel huge.
Back to 28 weeks. Baby Dahm is weighing in at about 2 pounds and measuring about 14 inches long. I am feeling a lot of movement now, mostly in my right upper abdomen near my ribs.
We had a delightful Christmas in our new home! The original Ryan 5 along with all immediate significant others gathered the weekend before Christmas to open presents. We had our very first Resale Shop Christmas which ended up being super fun and hilarious!
After dinner, we headed out to the Roy Wilkins Auditorium to watch some MN Roller Girl action with our very own "Fannie Tanner!"
And the next weekend, on the warmest Christmas I can remember, my parents flew in and we all went for a walk.
Cameron made braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and oven roasted carrots for Christmas Eve. The Gronaus came over on Christmas Day and Cam made us all delicious pizzas. All that cooking really tuckered him out!
