The Home Stretch (literally)

****Updated picture posted below****

Tomorrow marks the beginning of my 3rd trimester. I am feeling really good, just wanting the summer to be over so she will be here :) I never thought I would wish for my favorite time of year to be done! I am getting bigger by the day and now have an "outie". I will post a 28 week picture below this weekend once we get home.

Over the last couple of weeks we have been getting the room ready for her. We had it painted a light green and the furniture should be delivered next week. Making progress, although it seems so slow. Everyone says it will come fast enough :) I can't wait until it is all together.

Mike and I are going to San Antonio tomorrow for a few day get away, hopefully we will have nice weather. Either way I am looking forward to some R&R with my husband. Mike has never been there since he grew up in CA, so we are looking forward to exploring the beautiful Texas Hill country.

I had a doctors visit today for my glucose screen and got my RH- shot. I got a lecture on not eating sweets because I gained 6 lbs in the last 3 weeks :) Little Miss Z has had quite a growth spurt and is kicking and moving a lot, I love feeling her move. I can't help it if she loves sugar, right?? My Mom gave me her secret to wonderful chocolate chip cookies and I have enjoyed eating a few of them lately. Now I start going every 2 weeks to the doctor, I am excited because it will make the last part go faster. We also have an ultrasound next week, very exciting. I will keep you posted. Thanks for your continued prayers for our family.

No name yet, we are still working on it. What about you guys? You need to post a picture of you!

we don't know names either. ha. and no way with a belly pic. something about not being happy with my belly BEFORE being 25 weeks pregnant helps me know i definitely shouldn't be showing it off now!

YEAH...you're getting closer! Lucky!! I would for you to post pics of the nursery when your furniture comes in... I know it will be precious. We are starting to look for bedding...I'm in the mood for something a little more BOLD than I did with the other boys. We'll see. Please keep us updated!! I'm trying to come to the shower, so hopefully I'll see you there!
