3rd Trimester!

I have officially reached 3rd Tri!  I am so happy. This pregnancy is viable. We are actually going to have a baby. I am actually going to give birth and bring home a son and raise him.  I am actually going to be a mother to a baby who will BE IN MY ARMS. I am amazed.

It's hard to describe but until recently I really was not convinced that would ever happen. And now (barring anything going drastically wrong -- could the world POSSIBLY do that to me again?)  it's going to. Finally. By the time this little baby enters our lives it will have been 3 years of waiting and hoping and trying for this.  And I cannot WAIT.

The countdown is on.  Just 12 weeks to go  :-D

I have almost completed the registry.
I have started working on the nursery.
I am now feeling like I'm in my 3rd Trimester (aches & pains, etc. etc.)
My baby shower (MY baby shower!) is scheduled for March 1st. 
My weight is increasing approx 1 lb/week, I've grown out of the early maternity clothes I was previously wearing, I've grown out of most of my shoes, and oh yeah, the other day while examining my stretch-mark ridden belly I actually touched the back of my belly button. Ha! (And also: ick!)

I just love this little eggplant-sized baby growing inside me. I cannot wait to meet him.

  2. I would totally do a happy dance for you right now... but I would tip over (you'll know that feeling soon). So, instead, just imagine me screaming "CONGRATS ON THE THIRD TRIMESTER!" I am so happy to see you here at this milestone. You deserve so much happiness.
