Third Trimester Update

We are officially in the Third Trimester!

-My Sciatic nerve pain is not nearly as bad as it was, thank goodness!

-My appetite has returned, much to my dismay ;) I crave Cocoa Puffs, Mac and Cheese and Ice Water.

-I am sleeping like a baby thanks to my miraculous pregnancy pillow, which is WAY better than the one I had with Tai. (Not counting bathroom breaks, those are the worst.)

-I am starting to feel a little "weighed down" because the baby is so low on my hips. I have gained less than 10 pounds in this pregnancy so far.

-I am feeling TONS of movement. Colton and Tai have both felt the baby move, and I can see a lot of kicks from outside. 

-We still have no idea on a name.

-We have purchased all the baby supplies we could need and more. We just need to decorate the nursery and go through Tai's old clothes. (I also need to stop buying baby clothes!) 

-I'm still working full time, and commuting about 40 minutes each way. It hasn't been as bad as we had originally thought. We are considering building or buying in Heber to stay close to my family. With a new baby we will need all the help we can get!

-We had a doctors check up yesterday. He said my weight gain is great, my blood pressure and vitals all look good, and he's happy with how everything is going. He even okay'd our Lake Powell trip in July, AND said I could ride the speed boat ;) 

-I'm a little ornery. My mama bear has come out a few times. I sleep a lot more and I come home at the end of the day pretty much done. Colton is sweet and usually gives me dinner on the couch while I try and keep my eyes open for half of an episode of The Bachelorette.

Overall, i'm doing really well. Colton will tell you WITH NO DOUBT, this pregnancy has been a million times easier than Tai's was. Here's hoping we can get through this last little stretch without any big hiccups!
