goodbye 2nd trimester!

the last few weeks...

(note to self: do not wear extra large t-shirts no matter how free they were. you will look like a giant blob of whatever color your wearing. in this case, a giant blueberry. ps- this shirt was in fact, free! i was supporting the raider nation, but still, not good.)

5/8 of the way there!

thoughts on our 2nd trimester:

*still feeling good! i don't remember feeling this good and ready to grab life by the horns during any other 2nd trimester. i am still furiously working to try and get ahead on my life and it's still not happening. i'm starting to think it never will. as soon as i cross one thing off my to do list, i add another. or two. ah, c'est la vie!  

*still have that weird pain in my right rib. i guess that now it's not so weird, cause she's actually big enough to get in my rib. but the fact that it's been painful for like, 28 weeks now is kinda weird. i've even thought the whole "if only this pain in my rib would just stop, i wouldn't complain about this pregnancy at all!" thing. i'm sure i would find something else to complain about though.

*still have regular back/neck/hip aches, but nothing too bad.

*i'm still not emotionally or mentally ready for another baby, but i can tell that physically i am getting close. i am starting to feel that, "can i really get 3 months bigger?" feeling. and i'm definitely slowing down. moving slower, physically and mentally.

*i'm trying to get enough protein in, but it's tough. baby and i love our sweets! and lately i can't get enough water! i only usually get heartburn when i drink soda. or salty foods. but nothing too bad.

*still sleeping pretty well and still, strangely enough, able to sort of sleep on my tummy. i guess i'm not really on my tummy, but more so than other pregnancies. :)

(my writing is always so crystal clear!)

*she's moving a lot lately. during tofw she was lovin' on all the music! some of her kicks can be painful, especially the ones right behind my belly button. i do not like the way that feels, but i've always been weird about my b button. i do love feeling her kicks though. :)

*not a lot else to report... just thankful for a happy and healthy pregnancy!
