3rd trimester already? or 3rd trimester finally!

First, let me start by apologizing for not updating the blog recently. You've probably been wondering how everything is going. Dustin gave me the task of writing the next blog and I'm just not as good at it as him.

I'm in my 28th week (of 40) already! That means that I'm officially in the third trimester. It's actually very hard to believe, but at the same time, I'm really excited and ready to meet our cute, little Kyah. She's been quite the kicker and mover. Dustin can even see her moving by looking at my stomach now. She's also gotten the hiccups a few times and that's really weird. Just today, she had the hiccups twice.

Everyone says that the second trimester is the best, and it's not like I didn't believe them, but now I truly understand what they meant. Now that I'm in the third trimester, I starting to understand why the second is great. A few weeks ago, it's almost like I hit a wall, and I suddenly felt (and look) like an elephant. It's become a lot harder to get around. I have to watch out when I turn around and think twice before squeezing through little openings - it's not that easy anymore and I can't just suck it in! It's a challenge to get out of bed in the middle of the night. It's even a challenge to put socks on now. It's not horrible, though, and I'm actually enjoying getting to feel Kyah more, and things seem to be going well.

And now with the 3rd trimester comes all the fun of registering, setting up the nursery and getting lots of cute little girl things! Dustin has been quite the trooper and has been busy working on things around the house while I (as he likes to call it) "micromanage" the projects to make sure they're up to spec. I'm really just there to encourage him and he's doing a great job.
