Today is...

the first day of my 3rd trimester!

Oh my, oh my where has the time gone!

I am finally in the home stretch and I can't believe it.
I can't wait to have my little snuggle bug here.
Troy keeps telling me that when she is here he is going to come home from work.
Lay down on the couch and put her on his stomach/chest and go to sleep.
I am so excited to see how he is going to be with our little one here.

Highlights for our little girl?

*She is settling into the proper position for birth
*She is about 2.5 lbs and is almost 16 inches long.
*She is starting new skills such as coughing, sucking, taking practice
breaths and hiccuping.
(the hiccuping is the coolest part. It's like feeling a constant movement or jolt for about 30 mins or so. She had them many times yesterday and it was the coolest feeling ever!)
*Her sleep now includes the REM phase which could mean she could be
dreaming already. (I wonder what she is dreaming about?)
*Her lungs are almost fully mature but she still has a long way to go.
*Her skin is starting to go out of the wrinkly phase and smooth out so she
is becoming as soft as can be.

I was looking at pictures of pregnant bellies (the drawing ones) that you see when you look up information on the interent about your pregnancy, it's hard to believe that I am going to be getting any bigger than I am now. I feel huge and to only think that I will need to get bigger and better so she can have plenty of room. Rounding out is coming soon.

There is so much to do and so much to plan for still. It makes me wonder how I am to get everything done in a timely manner. I guess that is what being a mom is all about. Time to get those tasks done! (:
