The third trimester so far has been better than expected. I've actually been feeling really good lately and have been wishing that things could stay just like this for awhile. A month ago I was
so ready to have this kid (the nausea had temporarily come back and I was having really horrible back pain), but now that things are good I'm not so much looking forward to labor.... the baby, yes... labor, not so much. I guess that's the reason the third trimester gets so uncomfortable so we're willing to do whatever it takes to end the suffering. At the moment I'm happy.
The baby has been kicking like crazy. At the last doctors appointment they gave me a "kick count worksheet." What a waste of time... considering this kid kicks me
all day long. We have a very active child. And while I love it most of the time (with the exception of when I'm trying to sleep) I'm a little worried that this kid will never settle down. Definitely the makings of a soccer player... (or runner, as Nate just pointed out.)

"Holy crap."
I've been keeping myself busy lately working on little projects for the nursery. I've been sanding our nursery furniture getting it ready for paint. And yes, we did decide on a nursery theme. Despite the overwhelming votes for the bird theme, I just couldn't get my mind off the fish one, plus it saved me about $80 to go with it. So I did and when I finally got it in the mail I fell even more in love with it. (I know, I know.... I ask for your opinion and then I totally disregard it...) I've been busy painting baby decor to match.

The fun tryptch I totally copied.

And finally Nate and I spent the weekend doing some planting. We are definitely missing the 10x10 ft. space we used to have to plant in, but thought we would try our hand at a planter garden. We'll see how it works out and are hoping to have some zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs here in a few months or so.
