baby bump

I am now in my third trimester and I am amazed with how quickly this time has gone. I am beginning to mentally prepare myself for the big event in three months. I’m sure the summer will fly by and baby will be here before we know it. I scheduled our childbirth class so that Eric and I will be prepared for the delivery. Eric is finally finished with school on Thursday and the switch from office to nursery can begin!

This past weekend I caved and bought a maternity bathing suit (black one piece with the expandable tummy section) in order to float in the pool. I decided since it was so incredibly hot I would sacrifice style for comfort J

Baby is busy growing and is currently about 15 inches long from head to toe and weighs 2 pounds! Below are weeks 24-27…

my bump

I am now showing enough that strangers make sure to open doors for me and offer to help me carry things. Baby is growing perfectly and is constantly wiggling. Eric says that baby is practicing his dance moves :) I find myself sitting there just staring at my belly watching the movements. Pregnancy is pretty great even though I feel like I am gaining weight everywhere. Even my feet have gotten bigger. Really? Oh well, just means I get to buy some new shoes :) 
Eric and I have started working on the nursery and we registered last weekend. It was a little overwhelming realizing all of the stuff we will need but I can't wait to get his nursery ready for him! Ok, on to the bump pictures. Below are weeks 21, 22 and 23. Look how big I'm getting!
