Hello 3rd Trimester! WOW! How did that happen? I still feel like April is forever away but I also can't believe I'm in the third trimester. I really don't have any updates this week. My lastest addiction is Chex Mix. I only like half of what comes in the bag but I can't stop eating it. Corey can't keep up with me by eating the other half of the bag. It's on sale at Wal Mart this week so I will be stopping for another bag one day soon. We haven't done anything to the nursery lately but I do plan on stopping at Target this weekend to get a bookshelf and hopefully some curtain rods so we can get those hung and the books and knick knacks on the shelves.

Here are this week's pictures!

I fell...

I went to Corey's sister's basketball game last night and sat clear at the top of the bleachers. After the game I was walking down to the court and when I got to the last step I fell straight to my knees. I didn't trip, I think my knees either gave out or maybe I got dizzy while walking from the top to the bottom. It didn't hurt at the time but today my right knee and my left foot are killing me. Corey doesn't think that my knee looks swollen but I think it feels swollen when I feel it. I guess I will just take it easy for a few days and hope it starts to feel better. I'm such a klutz and this pregnancy has made it even worse! I was so embarrassed but you would think I would get used to it, this is the third time I have fell since being pregnant.

Well, I'm under 100 days and only have 14 weeks left. Well, hopefully not anymore than that! I have been feeling good, just really tired. I think part of this is due to my lack of sleep on the nights that Corey works. I also feel like my belly is growing quite rapidly. I went shopping for some maternity shirts the other day and did not have much luck. I got the sweater that I'm wearing in this week's pictures and that is it. Why do all the maternity shirts have to look like they came straight out of the 80's or be outrageously expensive? UGH!

99 days to go!

I can't believe we are under the 100 day mark! 14 weeks to go, maybe less!

Swelling

So the swelling continues. I have showed my Dr. and he isn't concerned as of yet but he wants to keep checking it at my appts. Last night I took my socks off and had a deep ring around my calf where my socks had been. I layed down in the loveseat with my legs up on the arm and a couple pillows underneath them. Then when I went to bed I slept with 3 pillows under my legs. It seemed to help. My ankles looked smaller when I got up this morning. Thank goodness. I have decided that I will start drinking more, and by more I mean A LOT, of water, cut back on salty foods, which will be tough since I'm meeting some friends for Mexican food tomorrow, I love the chips and salsa, and sleeping with my feet up on those pillows. Poor Corey, with all the pillows I'm requiring to get a decent nights sleep room is running out for him in the bed. Last night he even said that he is running out of covers because it takes so much to cover all the pillows I'm using. OOPS! I wish I would have tried to take a picture of my legs and feet last night to show you because it was unbelievable.

25 weeks

I can't believe I only have 15 weeks left! Holy cow! I really don't have anything to report this week. Sleeping is getting very difficult. My hips and shoulders kill me and I have to roll over about every 30 minutes.

Corey his in full force at his new job and working nights. I'm really starting to have a hard time with it. I absolutely hate being home alone at night. I'm terrified to sleep and the lack of is catching up with me. Every night when he leaves for work I cry and then I cry several more times throughout the night. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. I feel like I never see him because when he is home he sleeps to catch up from being at work. It's just really starting to get to me. UGH!

Time is dragging...

I feel like time has stood still. I feel like April will never get here! AHH!

I have a shower scheduled for March 14 and one of our friends from out of state will be here for it. I'm so excited!

24 weeks

I had another appointment today. The baby's heartbeat sounded great and she was even kicking the doppler. The Dr. assured me that our daughter isn't too weak and that it's perfectly normal to not be feeling kicks from the outside yet. He said it will come soon enough. He also said that I would just have to deal with the hip pain I've been having in the middle of the night. He suggested I sleep in a chair, comfy, huh? We'll see if I can alleviate some of the pain with strategically placed pillows first. My belly measured 25cm and which was fine but I was quite shocked by my weight. I haven't gained too much but the final number on the scale makes me cringe. Hopefully I will maintain a little now since Corey and I rejoined the gym. Hopefully some of the walking I will be doing will pay off. At my next appointment I will take my GD test. I have to fast and it will be a blood test so I will have to mentally prepare for that. For some reason I'm really nervous for this. I have no idea why but I am. Here are the belly pictures and I'm also going to put in a picture of the crib now that it is all put together.


I forgot about the picture and had already put on my pajama pants! OOPS!





I love the crib. We ordered a mattress but it's not here yet. I cant wait to be able to make the bed. Oh, and yeah that computer won't be on the floor once DH gets rid of it.
