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!
