3rd Trimester...Ready or Not, Here We Come!

Wow.

Is this really happening?!

I cannot believe it.

I remember being in my 1st Tri begging for it to be over

and that 13 weeks took FOREVER!

Now I only have 12 left?!

agh!

I say I have 11 weeks and 6 days left

because it would be awesome for our Baby Girl to arrive on June 22nd.

If she comes early, fine by me, but here is my silly reason for the 22nd.

I was born September 22nd.

My next sister, Carrot (Caren), was born December 22nd.

Then Bagel (Baylee), the next sister, was born November 22nd.

And then the failure begins...

...ok, it was because of the doctor,

And it would have worked but things were overlooked at the time

So, Boog (Hannah), my last sister, was born July 26th...

...although the doctor admitted she could have arrive on the 22nd because she WAS full grown.

WTHeck!?!?!

Wanna know how we know...

...July 26th she arrived at 9lbs 11oz.

HUGE!

Well it just so happened that my "official due date" is June 24th

But I told the doctor,

Because he is the same one that delivered me and all my sisters

and knows the "tradition"

I told him if she is still not here by June 22nd, I want her then.

He smiled and nodded, saying he can make that happen!

=]

Silly??

I don't think so.

Just so happened that way!

People do fun things with names...

like get this...

I just so happened to be born on the 22nd

and then Caren just so happened on the 22nd as well.

According to my mom, that just worked out that way.

So when she was having the next one, she tried to have Baylee on the 22nd as well...

...walking around the mall the night before and such.

So our names went D - C - B - and then that was it because we couldn't agree on an A name.

So Hannah is as close as we will get to an A name.

Anywho...people do fun things with names, and if it so happens I can have our children on the 22nd

of any given month....you better believe I will do that.

Silly? Yes.

Fun? You bet!

Anywho....enough with that sillyness.

This has been one fun ride.

How I only have 83ish days left, I have no idea!

Our Little Jewel has been getting stronger and stronger.

It has been fun and uncomfortable all at the same time.

But I am so happy to be here experiencing this.

Last night I was on the phone with Nik as he was driving home from work

And She had the hiccups.

It was so cute!

You could see a steady beat right on my belly.

It lasted just over 3 minutes.

It was so cute.

I interrupted Nik real quick to tell him and he just laughed and smiled.

He is so in love with her already!

Oh, and not sure if you remember me mentioning my lower back and hips always hurting...

...well Nik and I bought a mattress topper and it has made a HUGE difference.

I no longer wake up in pain.

It is wonderful!

Wish we would have gotten on sooner

But we didn't. Oh well.

I'm happy now!

And Nik says his back hasn't hurt as badly either.

YAY!

But now I have a question...

...and if you are still reading this, yay!

Does gravity effect the baby while in the womb?

Honestly.

Lately I have felt her feet on my right side

and when I lay on my right side (just for a little bit)

she gets her tap moves on like crazy...

...or so it feels like.

And it REALLY hurts!

Such a weird feeling.

So I will then roll over to my left and I stay that way 95% of the time.

Well, is she landing on her head with a headstand or what?

Might be a silly question,

But I really wanna know.

So...let me know what you think or if you really know the answer.

I guess that is all.

Thanks for your attention.

So excited to meet this little girl....but right now I gotta go feed her.

Yay for breakfast!

*And sorry I don't go through and proof read it before submitting it

So hopefully it makes sense.

Just what is happening in this Pregnant Brain of mine.

Loves!

Bartok?

Who remembers the Disney movie Anastasia?

One of my favorite Disney lines comes from that movie.

I don't usually upload videos but this is just my favorite!

Well, what am I getting at....I felt my baby girl move and kick for the first time yesterday!!!

It was amazing!

I was just laying down in my bed listening to the radio,

TRYING to get up for the day when I felt these weird 'muscle spasms' on my lower stomach.

I muted the radio immediately

(As if muting the radio would make me feel any better?? lol)

 and just laid there,

holding my breath so I could pay better attention. 

(As if holding my breath would REALLY produce better results??)

I put my hand just below my belly button and there were little movements.

Little movements. Little bumps and jabs.

Little movements from a little baby!!!

My eyes got real big as I realized what those were.

That was OUR baby!

There was a little kick on one side,

and then another,

and another,

and then nothing would happen for a minute or two and then I felt the bumps and kicks

moving to the other side.

Now, I don't know, and I actually doubt that my hand felt any of that.

I am pretty sure it was just under my skin that I felt it

and that I was just wanting my hand to feel it so I made my mind think it.

I still think the movements are too small for Nik to feel, but I am anxiously awaiting that day!

It was amazing! I couldn't believe what just happened.

I don't feel it every day or all day just yet

...just when I am really still.

I am so excited to meet her and to continue our little family.
