3rd Trimester

Finally there! When I first found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks, I thought I would NEVER make it to the third trimester! And I was so sick then it made the time pass extremely slowly, but I have made it!

Everyone told me that the third trimester is hard and how uncomfortable you are. I listened, but I couldn't imagine it because I felt so amazing in the second trimester! Well, it has hit! I am having trouble sleeping, my back hurts almost all day, and by the end of the day I feel huge and miserable. Oh and have I mentioned the heart burn? It's lovely. I take a Prilosec every morning and still end up needed 3-4 tums throughout the day. Awesome! And when the heartburn comes, my belly is so cramped I can't burp to make it better. Sorry for the details, but it's definitely not fun. I can't imagine where Wyatt is going to fit as he continues to grow these next 11 weeks!

I do have to say I prefer this to the sickness of the first trimester. And now I know that in 11 short weeks (or maybe less) I will be holding my baby in my arms and will forget about the long hard 9 months it took to get there!

I have my first baby shower in 2 weeks and then another one in 6 weeks. I am very excited to start getting the big things we need and actually start filling up that room! I also can't wait to spend some time with people I don't get to see as often anymore!

I am also down to 3 more rotations before graduation and it's a weird feeling. After going to school for 6 years, it's hard to imagine being done! Achieving my goal and not having to sit in another class again! We are very excited to reach this point and are looking forward to the next chapter! Timeline wise it looks like I will finish classes May 25 and we will be moving so that I can start work June 4. It looks like it's going to work out for us to buy my parent's land and manufactured home so we will be able to start moving into the house any time and won't have to move everything all at once which is a blessing! Raymond will be staying home with Wyatt, at least for awhile, and we plan to start building our cattle herd!

I think that's about all that is going on for now. About 80 more days until my due date and we cannot wait to meet our baby boy!
