Third Trimester!

Tomorrow officially begins the third trimester! Still quite a bit of action going on in the belly...and hiccups at least once/day :-) He should start to run out of room though here in the next couple weeks and settle down (hopefully head down). The crazy movement is entertaining, but the entertainment really stops when he kicks the bladder :-) The nursery is coming along; Nate painted until about 9:30 p.m. on Friday night and again on Saturday to finish up the wainscoting. We need to do another coat of green and then it is time to get it all cleaned out and ready for the furniture that will be arriving in the next few weeks.

The pic above is Jenny Hamilton and I this past weekend. Jen is 28 weeks today (with her second) and I am 27 weeks. She doesn't know what she is having, but I am sure the little ones will be good friends, regardless. Maybe even with the same birthday....you never know!

Nursery Project! (almost 27 weeks)

This week is Spring Break, so Grandpa Dale and Daddy Nate have been hard at work on the nursery. Here are a couple of pics of the early project stages...more to come.

I had another Dr. Appt. last Thursday. I have now gained 15 pounds and am right on track for the customary 25-30 pound weight gain. My belly has really grown in the last couple of weeks and the little guy is packing a punch. I am able to feel his little body parts now when they push up against the inside of my stomach. It's very entertaining! The doctor accidentally squeezed his little head at our last appointment and he made sure to kick her back! Fiesty little guy :-)

New Belly Picture

For those of you who have been bugging me for a new belly pic.....here you go!

23 Weeks

Not much new to report. We had another check-up two weeks ago and everything is measuring about right. I have now gained 8.5 pounds, which I am told is about where I want to be. We are going to have to take more belly pictures soon, because little n has decided that he needs more space, so out pops the tummy....he is pretty much the boss (that probably won't change anytime soon). A few weeks ago we were all about nice soft little kicks and now he packs a serious punch!

We purchased the nursery bedding--see picture from website--and already have quite a collection of clothes. We think we are pretty close to having our name picked, but we aren't telling....it will be a secret until he is here :-)
