First -- We've been having some computer issues here! First blogger wasn't working, then my internet connection wasn't working. Either way here I am. Hope you're all doing well and are as excited as I am that Spring has finally come!
Lots of changes are going on here. The third trimester has started! The home stretch! You can read all the pregnancy books you want but nothing prepares you for actually going through it. It's amazing and uncomfortable all at the same time. I want nothing more than this pain in my right rib to stop, yet I don't want him to come out yet because it's not time! I have been commenting on this lately, so you may have already heard me say this, but I can't believe it took 6 months to get this little guy to 2 lbs - and now we're going to take the last 3 months to pack on 5-7 more lbs. 1 lb every 3 months and then suddenly 2 lbs every single month? Doesn't this seem a little mean to the poor momma? I mean really! Can't we spread it out more evenly? Because I am feeling the stretch!! He also is growing to the point where it is getting harder for him to move around inside, so when he does I really feel it. Somebody at work even SAW it and commented "Is your belly moving?" Yup it is! That would be my baby boy. :) He has grown quite fond of my right ribs and kicking them and whatever other organ/tissues are in that region. And sometimes I think he just plain tries to jump out.
Sleeping has become a luxury - not a given. And something tells me it was planned this way for a specific reason. :) It is just so hard to find a comfortable position. Naps are high on my priority list right now. Heartburn has returned, but not nearly as bad as before.
Overall though, I'm still so happy/excited for this baby! I don't want these posts to always be about complaining about symptoms - but really pregnancy is 9 months solid of body changes and new things to get used to. I think I am maybe more excited now than ever since I got to see my sister's baby and the whole process for her from start to finish. We never thought he would look like a Larson and now I want to know what my baby looks like!
TTFN!

Nana needs to see another belly photo!!
I like belly photos as well! I just plain love reading your posts. Those of us (me) who have not yet been blessed with pregnancy can live through yours! Hehe! Sarah S. wanted me to write a message on here for her as well. She is too scared or something silly like that to write on here herself. Anyway, she is so happy for you guys and says, yea a boy! :)
Hope all is well!
Tami N. and Sarah S.
