Third Trimester

Today is officially my first day in my third trimester!  I cannot even believe how fast this pregnancy has gone.  I find myself forgetting how far along I am all the time and missing weeks at a time.  Like a few weeks ago when a little old lady stopped me and asked how far along I was and I quickly replied that I was 4 1/2 months along.  Then I paused, said wait five months, no six months!  Ya she looked at me like I was pretty nuts and walked away.

I'm actually surprised at how different this pregnancy has been compared to my first time around.  I have had very little swelling this time, by this point with Nathan I think I had gained 15 pounds of just water weight.  But Nathan had flipped and was head down before 20 weeks and this baby is still transverse and loves to put pressure on both of my hips at the same time.  Nathan also kicked a lot where this baby moves a lot but rarely kicks.

My doctor has guaranteed that she will induce me at 39 weeks no matter what which means I only have 11 weeks until this baby gets here and so far I have nothing done.  Matt and I pulled out the boxes of baby stuff this last week so mostly its just going to be a lot of washing bedding, clothes, and the fabrics on the swing and carseat and that sort of thing.  And then setting up the crib and buying a few more things like infant diapers and formula holy cow! It's so crazy to me that we are actually at that point where we can start getting ready for a baby again!

28 weeks!
