Well, hello there third trimester!

Today, I am twenty seven weeks and therefore, according to the email that I just received from the bump.com, I am officially in my third trimester! Whoop Whoop!

I don't know if it's because I am so busy parenting a 22 month old, but this pregnancy has flown by! While I was pregnant with Trent, I read all of the books and looked for every little symptom, kick, etc. I barely have time to shower these days much less notice all of the little things that I so cherished while I was pregnant with Trent. After he goes to bed however, and I have time to sit down and relax, I do lift my shirt up and just watch my belly move. I love that quiet time. I really love it when I can get my husband to push his ADD aside for two seconds and watch my belly too; his face always lights up when he can feel or see a kick. It usually happens that the baby moves the second he looks away :)

Now that there are only three months left, I need to step it into high gear and get Trent's new room done. I wanted to move him in the new room weeks before the baby comes so that he doesn't think that his new baby brother is taking over his room in addition to his mom. The room is officially painted; the crib and dresser are in so we can pick those up this weekend and I think that I have all of the decor that I need. Once we get the furniture in, I need to put it all together and Trent can move in! This does mean that we have one less guest room for friends and family to stay in but we'll make do!

Overall, I feel pretty good! I am starting to lose a good amount of sleep because I just can't get comfortable but I think it's just God's way of preparing me for the lack of sleep that I will be getting for the next year. I get up to pee at least once, sometimes twice a night and I can't find a comfy position to save my life. My back kills if I try to sleep on it and my sides become numb after lying on them for too long so I am constantly shifting from side to side. Ahh, the price we must pay for bringing a child into this world!

Now, if only Mark and I can agree on a baby name!
