I'm officially in my third trimester! I have to be honest, I thought being in your third trimester would be different.....In fact, so much so that I have decided to make a list of things I should/am be experiencing and my feelings about them.
I should...
1. Look about double my size: Hallelujah that I'm not! I'm very grateful I haven't gotten huge because it makes my life much easier.
2. Have an extremely aching back: Thanks in part to my not huge stomach, my back, while sore is very grateful for the lack of pain.
3. Be totally ready: For some reason when I was in my first trimester I had a ton of questions and thought, oh ya I'll research it and by my third trimester I'll totally be ready for this whole baby/birth experience. Well here is my third trimester, and here I am...excited, but pretty naive haha.
4. Be constipated: Well that's awkward...haha but seriously everyone talks about how you're crazy constipated and you get little bundles of joys called hemorrhoids. I am extremely pleased to say "all systems clear!"
5. Have a line down my tummy: I guess not everyone gets these because I haven't got one yet...I guess there's still a chance....
I do...
1. Have ribs that hate me: For about 10 weeks I have had excruciating pain in my ribs. When I asked my doc what I should do about it, he said, "oh don't worry, I'll take care of that in about 11 weeks." My thoughts "you little stinker." I recently have been feeling relief while simultaneously noticing that my ribs are REALLY spread apart. I think my body finally gave in and said "FINE, I'll spread apart for this crazy thing inside of me."

3. LOVE my baby: Whenever he moves I feel like it's just a little reminder of how much I love him already and how much I can't wait to meet him:)
All in all, my third trimester is proving to be great thus far:) I am now 30 weeks and it's crazy to think that I'll be full term in only 7 weeks!!
