The Home Stretch

I've officially entered the third trimester of this pregnancy, and so far it has been pretty uneventful.

I'm getting larger, and more off-balance--I feel a little like Humpty Dumpty.

My emotions have been a little more out of control lately--so if you see me sniffling don't be worried.

The weird thing is I laugh at stuff almost as much as I cry--something will strike me funny, and my family sits and stares at me like I'm slipping over the edge of sanity.

Heartburn is almost a daily occurrence for me, and my bottle of Tums is my constant companion.

I have a fairly good supply of energy, and feel pretty good most of the time.

So, I'm curious, if you have ever been pregnant, or currently are pregnant, what do you remember about your third trimester?  (Besides labor and delivery.)

  1. Being huge and clumsy, and having someone constantly wiggling inside, and trying to poke out!

    1. That's funny that you worded it that way--"trying to poke out"--because that's exactly what it feels like. :)

  2. Your hips are moving apart, that's why you should watch your steps! Bones are loose, which means you are getting ready! Hormones are flying all over the place and your brain is showing it.

    Third Tri is THE best time because you feel your best and really start to fall more in love with your baby. You know it's for real now because of the wiggles, hiccups and heart beat. ENJOY!

    1. I have a list of things I want to get done around here before the "event" does that count as nesting?
