Third Trimester

This past week we recognized we were three months from our due date.  That sounds like kind of a long time, but thinking in terms of already being in the third trimester makes it seem like it's coming fast.  Someone recently asked me if we are ready and that's a hard question to answer...

Mentally, we have been ready since we got pregnant.  If you know Jake and me at all you know that we are planners and, consistent with our personalities, we planned ahead to be prepared for a new little addition to our family.

Emotionally, we are getting more and more ready each day.  As far as pregnancies go, mine has been pretty simple and I really can't complain.  In fact, I think I will actually miss this stage of our baby's life.  We are at a really fun part where baby moves all the time and we can make connections will our little bundle and witness his or her growth through feeling (and now seeing!) the little kicks and somersaults.  We love "snuggling" with the little peanut and it is nice that Jake can be a part of this as well.

Physically, we are getting there.  After a minor fiasco ordering the crib and changing table, they arrived last week and we were able to get those set up.  We still have a lot that we need in order to actually be prepared for baby, but it is coming together slowly and has been really fun to get everything ready.  I am also growing physically as the little one continues to grow.  Here are pictures from weeks 26 and 27...

We plan to enjoy the next 13 weeks and anticipate the third trimester will be just as enjoyable, exciting, and quick as the first two!
