It is officially here.....the 3rd trimester and trust me, it has been long awaited. I am getting more excited and more anxious for him to be here already, but I am waiting patiently. Along with it's excitement the 3rd trimester has brought me several new pregnancy gifts...one of which is sore feet! This is a "sore" like I have never experienced before, and I don't even have to do very much for them to hurt excruciatingly bad. Luckily enough, my loving husband rubs them A LOT and that helps so much. I am also getting more frequent backaches...but not in my lower back which ,I guess, is where I sort of expected it to hurt...instead, it is more in the middle of my back, so it kind of makes it hard to breath sometimes. I haven't "cross your fingers" experienced swelling really yet, and I am hoping I get to avoid that common pregnancy ailment.
Onto other happenings, my little pumpkin has apparently grown quite a bit in the last week or so, because I have had various comments from strangers and friends about my protruding belly. I didn't really notice the huge growth spurt, but everyone else sure did. It is pretty great, I kind of enjoy answering questions from strangers about the whole experience.....that being said no one has actually tried to touch my stomach yet. I am not going to be happy about that, I can't exactly say what I will do in the situation, but it probably won't be pretty.
He seems to be doing pretty well inside the oven these days. He has become a lot more active and his movements are so much stronger! Occasionally he wakes me up in the middle of the night with his little dance parties. Luis has been able to feel him move several times which he was super happy about.
I am very excited about the baby shower coming up. I leave for FL next Wednesday the 29th and I can't wait to see everyone. I leave you with my expanded bump picture....enjoy
