3rd Tri-mester






HOLY MOLY!!

I have entered my 3rd tri-mester & it's quite a scary & exciting thing. Everything is going great! Fox is growing "perfectly", according to my mid-wife. He has great calcium in his bones. He has "chubby" cheeks & a sweet little nose. I can't wait to hold him & kiss his sweet little cheeks. We are having to go back in a few weeks to check on his kidneys. Apparently, his kidneys are not transporting all of the urine to the bladder & there is a "back-up" or "obstruction". We're really hoping & praying it will clear up by our next ultrasound. They say it's a very common thing in baby boys & it usually self-corrects. And that's what we're really hoping and praying for.

At my last ultrasound, Fox weighed 2 lbs, 2 oz. I have only gained 11 lbs so far during the pregnancy, but now I can actually say it's not all me!! Woohoo!! During the ultrasound, it looked like he has hair, but we'll have to wait & see when he's born. I have been feeling him move more & more. It's one of the coolest things. One of my favorite things is for Brandon & I to just watch my stomach move. Sometimes it looks a little creepy & feels that way, too. But it is so cool. I love to feel my little boy move. Fox measured a little bigger than what I really am. I was 26 wks, 0 days last Tuesday & he measure 26 wks, 6 days. So I can have him as early as July 29. It's fast approaching!!

I feel like I'm starting to get a little stressed out with it all!! Not so much the labor & delivery, I don't think it's really hit me yet. Honestly, I'm just blocking it out of my mind. I'm hoping to just go in there & wing it & do a great job at it! But I feel like I have so much to do to get him ready. I haven't really started on his nursery. I have his bedding & he'll be clothed, that's for sure. I'm really hoping to be ready to go by mid June. There's so much to think about & buy to prepare for a baby. So far I have been really blessed by my friends & family. I know we'll get it all done. I need to find more energy & more motivation.

I really hope things start to slow down so I can get it all done & enjoy these last 3 months of pregnancy.

God is good. And thanks be to God for blessing me with a great pregnancy.
