Third Trimester

Well, today is officially the first day of my third trimester! It's hard to believe that we're in the home stretch. Fortunately, I've really enjoyed being pregnant. Other than just wanting to have Elliott here, I'm okay with the fact that I have 3 more months of pregnancy. I've definitely been having fun decorating her room! We were out of school for 4 days (6 including the weekend) due to the snow and Kyle was out of town for 3 of those days. So, I used the time to work on some projects for Elliott's room. There are still a few things I want to do and some things for her room that I registered for, so I'm going to wait a little while to finish, but it's very close!

I made the letters for her name

and added ribbon and flowers to the little

green lantern (it doesn't light up, but not sure

what else to call it). I also added ribbon to

the valance and the curtains.

I absolutely love her lamp and the bright flowers

on this wall. My mom had the sign made for her room.

It reads, "Someday my prince will come, but for

now I have my daddy."

Love it!

I've registered for a clock and a bookshelf that

I would like to eventually put on this wall.

The picture in the white frame is of her

perfect profile from our 20 week ultrasound.

This is my preggo picture at 26 weeks.

I had Kyle take another one the next morning

because I thought that the fact that I didn't

have on a maternity shirt made me look bigger here.

Seems that wasn't the case . . .

I think I'm just big here . . .

this is a maternity shirt. Not much difference!

The shirt is really cute, though! My friend, Erika,

at work had it made for me. It says "May" on

the little package the stork is carrying.

I have a doctor's appointment next Tuesday and

I'll start seeing Dr. Hager every two weeks after that!

I also have the high resolution ultrasound on February

18th. We're praying that everything will be fine with

our little girl's kidneys (and everything else).

Once again, if there is something wrong, it's not

slowing her down! She is very active! It probably doesn't

help that her mom has a HUGE sweet tooth. I think all

the sugar has her hyped up! Hey . . . you have so many

restrictions when you're pregnant that you find joy in small

things (like Braum's chocolate milkshakes and Hershey kisses with almonds)!
