Welcome Third Trimester

Today I am 27 weeks which means I have entered the third trimester. Doesn't that seem impossible? I am now 13 weeks from my due date?! Its definitely bittersweet. I cannot wait to meet our baby, but I already know how badly I'm going to miss being pregnant. And it means that the the first year of my baby's life is going to fly by just as fast. Last night we were watching Modern Family. There was a scene where the oldest daughter was taking her driver's license test. Then Nathan said, "Do you realize that's going to be our kid in 16 years?" WHAT?!?! No. No. No. I'm not ready for that yet!! Mom- Does it seem like its been 25 years since you were pregnant with me???

And in the past two weeks, I have become a believer in pregnancy brain. I was skeptical at first. But after I left my wallet at Target, lost my cell phone in my trunk (closed up in Anya's stroller,) and a few other time where I went... 'Where's my head today?' I'm now a believer. And from what I hear... it only gets worse.

And some of you may have "caught" my gender slip up... Well sorry but it wasn't a slip up. I have started sneaking in a few he's or she's in past posts... just to keep everyone confused. :) AND... to cover my hind end in case I DO accidentally slip up. I'm committed to keeping the secret now, but next time (God willing) we're not going to find out so there's no worry of spilling the beans.

I have also started a Third Trimester To Do list. You know... like childbirth classes, hospital tour, etc. And I have actually started making some progress. I have pre-registered at the hospital and we have our hospital tour planned for next week. They actually had a ban on the tours because of the flu season... but that was just lifted, so we thought we'd better get in on the tour while we still can.

I may have already covered this, but I'm thinking God is not ready to move us yet. There have been several opportunities that have come and gone, which could be discouraging, but its not. We are just taking that to mean, its not time. God has really put a lot of great things in place for us here, and I'm going to stop pushing the move and try my very hardest to be patient, to wait on God. But with that said, there are also definite changes coming at the paper. I can't really blog about it, but we're praying that these changes happen and result in a positive change or two for Nathan. If these changes happen, we may be looking at being here another couple years, but as I've said over and over... we're trusting in God to provide and open the right doors and opportunities... according to His plan... not ours! Oh and these changes will likely take place anytime between tomorrow and my due date. I'm just hoping that happen sooner rather than later for the sake of Nathan's sanity.
