Third Trimester

So, we will be 28 weeks this weekend. It is incredible how time is flying, sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if this is really happening. I feel amazingly well and am enjoying this pregnancy to the fullest. It is incredible to think that in just 12 weeks... 12 WEEKS!!! We'll be welcoming our boy. There are so many people ready to welcome him into the world. One thing I am looking forward to is after the baby comes we'll have so many family members visiting us at our home. I can't wait.

What a great week. "B" (as Jon and I like to call the baby) has brought his activity up a level, this boy likes to move! On Wednesday I had my first experience of him and my ribs... I was laying my bed when I awoke to a sharp pain in my ribs when I took a deep breath. I think the little monkey's arm or foot was pushing on my ribs, I had to roll to the opposite side and readjust the babies position. Although it was uncomfortable, I loved the "new thing" I'd just experienced. I've also developed more lower back pain, and aches in my legs and inner thighs, oh the joys ha ha ha.

We also bought our crib today courtesy of my big sister (Auntie) Tania. As soon as she found out we were expecting she insisted on buying us our crib, for which we are grateful for. The crib we fell in love with was on sale this week so we jumped at the opportunity. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts. (Picture of our crib to the right)

My baby shower is in 8 days! I cannot tell you how excited I am and how blessed I am to have so many people that care about us enough to do these wonderful things, throwing me a shower, buying our crib etc. It is a stressful time, especially with the pregnancy being unplanned, it is so comforting to know that we have so many people that love this baby already! Again, I thank all of my friends and family that are helping us take these steps in preparation to the arrival of our first child.
