Only 3 more months to go!

In a couple of days it will be April which means only 3 more months to go and from what I hear those are going to be even harder than the second trimester. Its okay. I can handle it. I know I can. I'm not saying there won't be any tears or frustrations or questions about what the hell is happening to my body NOW but I will live. Is it obvious I am talking myself through this?

**Side Note** I hope everyone that ran the GA ING yesterday had a wonderful race! I am so jealous you ran like gazelles and had what I consider good running weather. So far all of my peeps had awesome times! I'll see you all next year :)
**End Side Note**

While pregnancy is a wonderful miracle there are so many things women don't talk about and I now understand why. I won't go into those details but frankly, I'm over leaking, not sleeping, crying, feeling alone even when I'm not and now I'm missing my feet. Oh feet. Who knew I would actually miss my feet? I can't see those cute flats I purchased and they are totally worth seeing.
Thankfully all of those feelings go away as soon as I feel Girl Tot move. I am so excited little Alexis is growing like a weed, kicking, punching and moving all of the time. When she is silent I yell into my belly, give it a little jiggle and ask "where are you? what are you doing"? Jason thinks I'm nuts but I miss her when she is quiet. I have already imagined what her personality will be like. I think she will be strong willed, opinionated and super smart with a wicked sense of humor. Okay, so I may be a little biased but I can dream. She's mine!
Look at Girl Tot working at 26 weeks! She's so busy...

Girl Tot's Room

Here are some web pictures of the things Girl Tot will have in her room:

Here is the Glider she will eat and sleep in. Jason and I tested out several gliders and this one was perfect for us - we both fit in it. That is very important since Jason is 6'2 and I am 5'1. The one in the picture is white but we will have a cream cover and no foot rest.












Here are the sheets that we registered for - light pink and sage green french rose....so cute for such a cute girl tot!





Last but not least here is the crib that my mom and Jason's mom purchased for us. This was their grandmother gift and we couldn't be more excited!!!!! It is so beautiful and girl tot will have this bed until she goes away to college so yea again! It looks so comfy, don't you just want to get in it?




In the next couple of months Sarah will come over to paint Horton on the wall! I can't wait to see how that turns out. It will be so Fantastic!

Preggers Update....

Well, this has been a LONG time coming.....Jason and I don't have many pictures of me pregnant so we took some last week. I am hoping this is not a sign of the future blogging posts but right now I'm just so tired after work and the thought of using my brain to write on the blog is even more exhausting. I am having trouble finding things to write about - I know I can write about being pregnant but since I signed up on FaceBook I talk about it there, at home and at work. Even the most excited pregnant woman needs to talk about things other than being pregnant. Maybe I'm just an odd preggers - don't get me wrong, I am SUPER excited about the baby. I just don't feel the need to talk about it all. of. the. time.

Today I'm ready to post - I'm home sick (again) but so far its not as bad as last time. This one started in my chest and just a little bit of a stuffed nose. Hopefully this is all it will be. Oh please, oh please, oh please pregnant Gods....let this be it. Its hard enough not sleeping any more. Not that I slept well before I was pregnant but that was different. I can be so exhausted and still not sleep because my belly is growing and its a little heavier than what I'm used to.

Insert - I love Jason so much. He brings me lunch, fills my water bottles, changes the cat box, makes dinner the majority of the time, gives back rubs, feet rubs, anything I ask. He is the BEST husband ever and he Never complains. He is also VERY excited we are having a little girl. Besides my dad I don't think there will be a better father in the world. I love him so much sometimes I don't know what to do! :) Insert over.

Here are some pictures of the Girl Tot's progress:

Girl Tot at 21 weeks












Girl Tot and I eating Ice Cream Sundays......at 23 weeks. So good!













Still eating while Jason takes what he thinks are hilarious pictures of me, girl tot and the ice cream Sunday......











Girl Tot from the side at 23 weeks. She's getting so big! This is why I don't think I am going to carry through July 9th. I think Girl Tot is coming the last week of June or the first week of July.
