3rd Trimester

Well the bump arrived just after 24 weeks. Lots of people were still shocked to hear at the end that I was so far along and even overdue! Mommy was very lucky the entire pregnancy and barely had to wear maternity clothes. My friend Nichole threw your baby shower a month before my due date. We were blessed with lots of fun things for you and loved the fun nautical theme. Mommy noticed that day that her feet were really starting to hurt. After a quick road trip one weekend in late May/ June we noticed mommy's feet got swollen for the first time and this was the case for the whole last month of pregnancy! We had an adventure at the hospital a couple weeks before you were due. The swelling was really bad one day and the Dr. had me go in for a non-stress test. You were totally fine. Just the fun I got to deal with for the rest of the time. Really though, it's the only bad thing I had the whole time!

3rd Trimester!

Happy 4th of July! 

Halfway through my 3rd trimester I noticed you moved a lot! By the end I couldn't sleep in anymore because you would kick and push up on my ribs. It hurt a lot and did get quite uncomfortable.

The last 3 weeks the only pair of shoes I could wear were my aqua Crocs. The whole last 3rd of the pregnancy I busily got ready for your arrival. I yard saled every weekend for weeks, shopped for diaper sales and worked on organizing and cleaning the house. I continued to do my workouts up to my due date and just walked everyday once I was past. At 36 weeks we had an ultrasound to see if you were in head down position and you were! Things were great health wise for both of us. My protein went up a little bit at the end but went back to normal. At 38,39 and 40 weeks there was very little progress so at 40 weeks I told them I wanted my induction scheduled for the 6th of August. We were all very anxious for your arrival. My mom flew in late on the night of your due date and we played for a week doing fun projects and shopping for you to come.
