26 weeks & third trimester!


Wow, it's hard to believe I'm at third trimester already.  The time felt like it went by fast, but it also went slow when I think about the fact that I've had morning sickness the whole time and I still have 3 more months of back and hip pain left.

My stomach has felt tight all this week and it makes it hard to eat a lot at one time.  I do feeling more hungry, but I think it's just because I have to eat small amount at one time and I still don't have a normal appetite.  My back & hips hurt on and off even with physical therapy.  I think the weekends are worse when I'm running around and bending a lot with Connor.  I bought a new fancy jumbo ice pack to try out this week while I rest in bed.  Also, Baby Girl has been wiggling and giving me some Braxton Hicks (right now actually). 

We need to start working on our name list so I can get room decorations started.  I have the names narrowed down after reading 6 books, so it's definitely going to be one of the ones on the list.  I refuse to read any more name books and I am convinced that I found all the best ones already.  I'm not really ready to decide, but I need to know so I can get name decorations done and feel accomplished with the room.  In other room news, we made some great progress with the wainscoting!  Now we just need to caulk, fill nail holes and paint it.  I also dragged Daddy and Connor out shopping to look for wall art on Saturday and I think I might have found something I like!  I also picked up some fabric to start on a flower pillow for the rocking chair.  I'm excited to get started on that new project!

24 weeks


A cute 24 week bump pic from the bathroom at work!

This is the first week that I've really felt like I'm over this.  My pants felt too tight, my skin felt like it was going to rip, my hips were killing me, and I was done.  Almost 2/3s done, but still so much more to go.  I went to the doctor on Tuesday and she recommended I try physical therapy for my hips and lower back.  Luckily, I got an appointment the next day during lunch.  Amazing!  It felt so freaking good and she gave me more stretches to do at home.  I can't wait to go back on Monday so she can loosen everything up again.

On Friday, we picked up all the supplies for the baby's room and Daddy has started painting.  It looks so pretty and I love it!  I started working on painting bookends for her bookcase as well.  Since it's Sunday, I'll have some time to work more on the bookends and maybe get a few flowers for headbands done.  Yay for new crafts!
