Less than 14 weeks to go....

So my countdown has reached the double digits.... one more week and I will be in my third trimester! Holy cow, that's a little nerve-wracking really. I'm not really sure what makes me more nervous, the whole never-know-when-it's-gunna-happen labor thing or the fact that I will be away from the studio and it's supposed to run right without me. Either way, I think it comes down to the fact that I can't plan it all. So I guess all I can do is just hope and pray this final trimester goes as smoothly and easy as the last two.

Supposedly, I am going through this little thing called "nesting". The other night I was on my hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen floor with paper towels in one hand and a bottle of Mr. Clean in the other when Brett walked in. He said something like, "why don't you just sit down and relax?"... but that is starting to get difficult. I want so badly to start working on the nursery but we don't really have anything ready to go yet. Brett has to finish painting our hand-me-down changing table and so far that is the only thing we have to put in the room. Yay. I just feel like I don't even know how to begin. The room has been painted, but now I'm even a little unsure on the pink color we picked out.

I think it's too dark or too fuschia or something. I wanted to be able to use shades of light pink and hot pink with it but I think that it might clash. So now I'm debating on re-painting. Ugh.

And well, the baby is still unnamed. Although today was a bit of a breakthrough and Brett said "that's cool" to not only one, but TWO of my ideas over the phone. However, there's a good chance he just wasn't listening....

How far along?: 26 weeks
Total weight gain: 16 lbs.
How much does baby weigh?: 1.7 lbs... supposedly
Maternity clothes?: Finally caved and bought maternity leggings & jeans from Forever 21. Haven't worn them yet though. And by that I mean they just arrived on my doorstep today.
Stretch marks?: None. Crossing my fingers that it stays that way.
Sleep?: Sucks. I wake up from all the twisting & turning.
Best moment this week?: SEEING her move! It's really cool actually.
Movement?: She doesn't move while I'm teaching at all, but the minute I get home she's all over the place. Payback??
Food cravings?: Still chugging milk. And I've been waking up and eating ding dongs like all week.
Labor signs?: No, but I have been feeling totally uncomfortable. My belly feels so heavy.
Belly button in or out?: I don't think it's going to poke out. Thank goodness.
What I miss: Being able to do everything I used to... and I mean just moving around and doing things on my own. Standing on chairs at dance. Being able to bend over. And I still really miss margaritas and sushi. I had a dream about them last night. Haha!
What I'm looking forward to: The holidays and the break from work. It's getting frustrating since I can't really do much & my feet are starting to hurt... especially on Sundays.
Milestone: Double digits!! 97 days left! Eek!
