Entering the Third Trimester

It seems like I've been pregnant a long time, but now that I'm in the third trimester, it feels faster.  I'm achy and my hands are giving me huge problems.  The carpal tunnel is really bad.  Heck, I'm carrying so big they did an ultrasound last week to make sure everything was on target.  It is.  She was two pounds already, but well within normal.

A lot of women have problems with their feet and legs, but fortunately, I don't.  I think it's because I had spent a year riding the exercise bike before I got pregnant and they were the only in shape part of me!

As I know this is most likely the last time I will be pregnant, I'm enjoying the part with all the movement and dancing.  It's a pretty cool thing and makes all the misery worth it (except labor...those woman who say labor is some hippie awesome thing didn't push Adam out for three days).  She gets hiccups a lot, which is a funny feeling.  Abbey did, too and Adam, not so much.  

I'm starting to get more projects ticked off my list, despite how tired I am.  Getting the kitchen done and being able to work on organizing my space has been great.  I have insomnia to begin with and begin pregnant I get up 3-4 times a night instead of two.  The dreams are getting wilder, even for me...

I look so pregnant, people hold doors and walk around me.  At Adam's sledding party, parents were helping me.  I didn't get this kind of treatment until closer to the eight month mark last time :)

I've bought her a few outfits, she has clothes from Abbey of course (though the NB is kind of on the warm side which is why I've done some shopping).  I have gotten to the part where I'm starting to try and picture what she looks like...will she resemble her tall, curly brown haired siblings?  Will she actually be laid back??  Probably not :)

A little less than three months to go.  Time to clear out her corner in our room and clean up the bassinet.  Buy a swing and figure out if we need a new car seat.  (they "expire" every five years I guess..!)

  1. It is definitely time to prepare. It will only get harder to get things done as you get closer. I figure she'll look like the other two...a baby sister version.
