Light at the end of the tunnel...Third trimester!

Hello everyone!

Well today is a good day. I've completed my 6th month of pregnancy (seems like forever some days and other days it was just yesterday that we found out!). We are now officially in the third trimester! Woo hoo! However, I keep hearing that the second one is the best and to be prepared to start feeling yucky again. Bummer deal. I've been feeling so good for the past few months I don't want it to end. So I am determined to keep a positive attitude even when I feel like a beached whale trying to get out of bed at 2:00 am and 4:00 am to go to the bathroom! Poor Marc :(

I went the to the doctor's on Friday. Everything is looking good. Jensen's heartbeat was beautiful as always and I was measuring right on target...even though I feel like I'm HUGE! I took my glucose test for gestational diabetes. I'm a little worried about it but there's nothing really I can do. Although if I do have it the thought of going without sweets for the next three months scares the crap out of me. That will definitely ruin my positive attitude about the third trimester! ha ha! So I'll keep you all posted.

I thought I'd have photos for you today of a nice painted nursery but alas, we need a third coat on the top. We were disappointed Friday night but with the tan on the walls first and then trying to apply a lighter color it just wasn't cooperating. So we're finishing it up this morning (well Marc is since I'm banished from painting!) and I'll post some photos later this week. We put in (ok, Marc and Sean!) put in the chair rail next Saturday so by this time next week I should have some great photos for you. Even if we don't have furniture.

That's about it from cold, cold Oregon. We are supposed to get an inch of snow tonight. We'll see. They never seem to predict the snow fall correctly around here. It sure is cold enough for it.

Love you all! Talk to you soon!

100 days left!

Today marks the 100 day milestone! 100 days from today Baby J will receive an eviction notice from me (if she's still in there!). Holy moly! I can't believe that it is going by so fast. It's unbelievable!

We're doing well. Baby J is still a little wiggle worm. She likes the sweets like her mom. Once she gets a little taste of those she's moving all over the place. I'm feeling good. I'm a little tired this week but nothing too crazy. We're painting the nursery this weekend! I'll post some pictures next week. We have the whole room cleaned out and are ready to roll. It should be pretty easy. (I say this now of course!) We've painted before so we'll see. Luckily I have a great painter that we use all the time so worst case I call him to fix our mess!

Other than that not much going on. Marc is still working like crazy and I'm trying to enjoy my quiet time. I've been doing a lot of reading (yes more than usual) which has been nice. I'm finally over my sinus infection so that's been a huge relief. That was awful!

So here are some pictures of me today. Sorry they are so blurry. I was having a hard time taking them of myself. I'm 25 weeks 5 days.

24 weeks 4 days

Good morning! Sorry I haven't updated lately, there's just not much to tell. Baby J and I are doing well. She's kicking up a storm although seems to stop every time Dad puts his hand to feel her. I feel really bad that he hasn't felt her yet. The other night she was dancing or something and I actually saw my belly move too! It was so crazy! I love watching my belly jump!

Other than that, I'm sick. And being sick with a head cold and not being able to take the copious amounts of drugs that I usually take really sucks. I'm trying all these home remedies but alas nothing is really working. I have the humidifier now so at least I can sleep but other than that it's horrible!

But on a fun note we're clearing out the nursery this weekend! Yeah! I can't wait. Our friend Sean is going to put the chair rail up for us in a few weeks (with Marc's help) so that will be fun. We're going to try and get the paint and supplies this weekend too so we can start painting next weekend. I can't believe it's starting already! Woo hoo!!

I'll post some more pics of my belly soon. Once my nose goes back to it's normal color and looks a little bit better. Plus we'll put up some pictures of the nursery as it's in progress :)

Have a great weekend!
