So it seems like just yesterday that I was looking at that positive pregnancy test. Now we're down to 12 weeks left and then I get to hold my little boy. I have a feeling he's going to be big like his daddy was. The ultrasounds are saying that he's about a week ahead of schedule and when I was 26 weeks he weighed 2lbs 3oz. What was fun about the ultrasounds was that he had no problem showing off his little man parts, but when we tried to take a peak at his hands and feet he didn't want to cooperate at all. He'd lay on his hands and just move his feet around. He likes to kick the ultrasound wand and when I went to my last doctors appointment he kicked the doppler when we were listening to his heartbeat. This morning when me and Justin were lying in bed he was kicking Justin all over the place. It was nice to be able to share in the discomfort He's a very active little one, and while it annoys me now when he kicks me in the ribs I know I'm going to miss it once he's born.
So now that I'm in the third trimester I'm finding that a lot of those familiar pains from the first one coming back. The most noticeable one being morning sickness and that ever present need to pee. I still get tired after walking around for only a few minutes. I'm also getting new symptoms like leg cramps and pain from him pushing on nerves. It's not too bad though. I've seem to avoided really bad stretch marks, though I realize that there's still time for them to develop. I've been taking baths on a regular basis at night. It's the only thing that helps me sleep. I kind of feel bad for Justin. I've managed to take over the bed with all my pillows, but I seriously wouldn't be able to sleep without them either. He's been a champ through this whole pregnancy though. I know he wasn't really into having kids, but he's definitely grown into a father these past few months.

Now my Grandmother is hosting a baby shower in March. Probably in the middle of the month. I have some addresses to send out invitations, but if some of you could send me yours that would be great too. I also have a baby registry on Amazon--->[link]
I'm not expecting anything, but gifts are always appreciated.

I think I'll end this with a crappy cellphone picture I took of myself this week. It's not the greatest, but you can see how big I'm getting.



Have a wonderful day everyone.
