YAY, 3rd trimester!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe how fast it’s gone by. But wowza has my back hurt like nobodies business! The past week or so, I have had shoooooting pain down my lower back. It hurts SO bad that it makes my knees buckle if I’m standing. It happens mostly when I’m standing but also when sitting. I’ve noticed the only time it doesn’t hurt is when I’m laying down. This only makes me want to be in bed by 7! Anyway, I’m starting to feel a little less comfortable (aside from the back pain) I feel my whole lower body is getting its toll finally. My hips, legs, feet….oye! But it’s not completely unbearable (yet). And everyday I am counting my blessings that it isn’t hotter than it’s been. I feel very lucky.
On a happy note, Kenny put together the baby room furniture. It is so exciting to go into the nursery and see a crib in there. It was such a huge reality for us when we finally saw it put together. We both just kind of stood there speechless for a few minutes. Something about seeing it in your own house, the place your baby will be sleeping. It really is amazing. I keep getting teased by how much I go into his room, just to stand there and stare! I know, lame! I haven’t taken the glucose test yet; I should really get my but into gear and do that. I need to have it done this week. Our next baby appointment is next week, then after that appointment I will be going every 2 weeks (oh joy!)
The time is winding down, and I have had serious “nesting” fever. I want to clean, clean, clean….prepare, prepare, prepare. I have to take it easy though, I’m really quick at overdoing it. Last weekend I decided to clean the floors, and instead of using a mop I thought that I should get on my hands and knees and scrub away! I still hurt from that brilliant idea. I seriously need to take it down a few notches. I just need to relax, or this is going to kill me!
Baby boy is moving a lot as usual. I read this week that he can dream now…..dream?! I can’t stop wondering what in the world can he possibly be dreaming about. So interesting. Oh, and of course he can hiccup, but he can also sneeze and cough. Isn’t that amazing? Amy was able to poke him and play with him over the weekend. She would poke poke poke him in one spot and he did the same poking back. It was funny.
