So here we are at nearly 29 weeks (on Tuesday, Aug 12), and the ugliness of the 3rd trimester is kicking in. Besides definitely having a heavy watermelon hanging from my belly, Carson is kicking like crazy and the lethargy I dreaded has returned from my first trimester. However... with all bummers, there is usually a silver lining... and that is that we are THAT much closer to seeing our little guy! I can't believe we only have 2 1/2 months until we get to meet our son!
Our weekends have been filling up with all sorts of things in preparation for Carson. First, Matt just went skydiving a few weekends ago... hopefully getting that out of his system for good before he becomes a daddy. I am not sure if I was nearly peeing my pants watching him fall from the sky because of my pregnancy or because I was nervous to be a widow. Nonetheless, it was a close call to the bathroom. However, Matt made it safely to the ground with a smooth landing... PHEW!
This weekend my close friend Cory Morgan, a fabulous artist, came and painted our nursery. I will post a picture as soon as I can... but it is AWESOME! We have an airplane theme as you will see and it turned out just great. I even added my artistic touch (hee hee, yeah right) on the clouds. I actually impressed myself!
Matt and I went registering at Babies R' Us last weekend and were COMPLETELY overwhelmed. It was a mistake to start with the bottles because there must be nearly 400 to choose from (and 800 nipples to choose from) all with different characteristics. We spent 20 minutes on bottles alone! Ugg. I thought this would be like registering for a wedding, but then I realized I have no clue what I need when it comes to babies, so that makes things a bit more difficult. We still have some things to still work on but we're getting there. Thankfully we won't have to make the long trek down to Westminster anymore to get to a Babies R' Us, because we have one coming to Fort Collins at the end of this month. Perfect timing!
Well, i am getting sleepy so I better quit for. I am due to show you all my new prego belly and our nursery... pictures to follow! Thanks for your continued prayers!
