Bellography

Weeks 24 through 28. We're in the third trimester already! Crazy.

I'm not sure horizontal stripes are my wisest choice at this point, but I'm wearing what fits! I've managed to only buy 2 pairs of maternity work pants, 1 pair of of maternity jeans, 2 dresses (for my showers and a wedding), 1 sweater, 2 maxi dresses and a pair of shorts. A few of those I only bought for our trip to Mexico in a couple weeks. I've gotten a lot of use out of elastic extenders for my pants and a few rubber bands. Luckily most of my tank tops were really long already (love the H&M brand).

I'm feeling great still. Sleeping is getting a little difficult. I find myself having to flip over a couple times throughout the night because my hips get sore. And of course the 2-4 am bathroom break. I'd say the only major pregnancy symtoms I'm having are leg cramps at night, an increased appetite and the occassional emotional episode. (Glenn might have a few more to add to the list).

I borrowed this shirt from my boss' daughter. Yeah, she had her baby at 18...not sure it's going to last too much longer on this old lady.

I couldn't decide which jersey I liked better- Glenn's or the baby's!

I think the most frustrating part is not being able to do things I am used to doing. Yes, I still cleaned the gutters a few weekends ago (dang Glenn's fear of heights), but carrying a large flower pot full of dirt is getting much too difficult.

Only 76 more days til our due date. That is craziness. I started painting the baby's room on Monday so that should be done by this weekend. I'll be glad to have that checked off the list and I can start getting things a bit more organized! Just in time for my parents to show up with a carload full of stuff from my brother and our Minnesota shower.
