6 months!!

I am about 3 weeks away from starting my third (and final!) trimester. I am getting big! Most of my shirts do not fit but luckily, I am off work and can get by with wearing a few tops and my maternity jeans. Baby girl moves like crazy and even jerks me around sometimes when I am trying to sleep. But, I know that my belly will get way bigger and so will she and the kicks. Kary can now feel the kicks very easily and his favorite thing to do is talk to her and lay his head on my belly. When we talk on the phone I put him on speaker phone and set it on my belly and I swear she starts kicking when she hears her daddy.

We got a lullaby cd...it's queen songs covered as lullabies. My favorite is "fat bottom girls" and "bohemian rhapsody"...haha





We are starting to totally clean out the baby room to make space for the stuff we'll get at the shower. Kary put a shelf in her closet and folded her tiny clothes...so cute. We still had to kind of throw stuff in there but we are making progress. Kary hung a stuffed animal storage thing from ikea and put a few in there...it's starting to look more like a tiny person's room. There is a bunch of crap...books, records, games, etc that we need to find places for. Our 1100 square foot townhouse is starting to feel very tiny and we haven't even gotten half the crap we'll have by the time she arrives.


I have been feeling pretty good. My stress level is way down since I am no longer having to yell at 2nd graders all day. I have been working out every day for 30 minutes and then when Kary gets off work we go for a long walk with the dogs. I am trying not to eat too much since I am home all day so I make sure not to buy too many tempting foods. Although last night I went to the store at 11pm to get lays potato chips and french onion dip...I had to have it! My asthma has been pretty controlled for the most part. It is a daily issue but I am getting used to it. I am still pretty freaked out about taking asmanex. It is considered a "class c" medication which is not good...but my doctor said me not breathing well is going to affect her more. Plus I am approaching my 3rd trimester and did not touch any meds 1st and most of 2nd trimester so I hope everything will be ok with her.





I enjoy being home with my dogs during the day but we have all been feeling the heat and haven't been able to go out to play. So we spend most of the day cuddling. Brixton just recently started cuddling my belly and she twitches her ears when the baby kicks. so cute! please excuse my gigantic translucent thighs but Brixton just looked too cute not to post the pic. This weekend my plan is to get a bit of a tan!

The shower is in 6 days. We are getting excited! I can't help but look at the registry. So far we only have 10 items from the registry. I am getting a little nervous because there is so much we need and we really don't have the $ to buy much. Most likely people are procrastinating. That is my problem too ;-) Either way, she'll get what she needs one way or another. I am also very happy that Kary will be attending the shower and opening gifts with me. I know that is very important to him. I will be sure to post lots of pictures from the shower.
