Good morning peeps. So by most books/websites, I've just started my 3rd trimester (there is one website that annoyingly assumes I'm a week behind, even though they have my due date right) which is a scary thing to me. This whole pregnancy-I'm-gonna-have-a-baby thing is finally real. Don't know if it's a mental thing, or because physically I've ballooned in size and feel a lot of the negative nearing-the-end symptoms. I have less than 3 months. Seems that around this time of year, Christmas comes up really super fast. Well this year not only will Christmas bring the normal presents and happiness, but a baby as well (or shortly thereafter).
So of course my mind is trying to be in a thousand places at once. In addition to the two accounting classes I'm meant to be focused on, I'm thinking about the nursery, reading up on labor & delivery (and gosh darn it, I need to find some people who've managed to go without pain meds and see what their secret is), breastfeeding techniques, the first six weeks with baby, etc. etc. etc. Then I panic about the sleepless nights, because I'm one of those unfortunate souls that needs lots of sleep to function properly. So on two hours of sleep, what will I do with the baby??? I'm going to need supervision so I don't accidentally put the milk in the bassinet and the baby in the fridge!
So there's a lot going on in my head. And around the house. Derek and I are getting the inital prep work done in the nursery. It's painted, and I ordered border so as soon as that comes in we'll put that up. And we got the crib from my parents (THANK YOU!!!) so after the border is up, Derek can start putting that monster together. Right now the box is taking up half our living room. Sateen likes to stand on top of it and pretend she's in a dog show. :) And yesterday I cleaned out the closet (that was a biotch and a half). One step at a time.
And that's what's happening now. Here's a few more weekly pics; 25ish weeks, 26 & 27
