I wasn't originally going to write for this week, because honestly not much has changed since last week; however, today is the first day of my third trimester!! Plus, the fruit comparison for this week is that baby is the size of a coconut, and seeing as we live in Hawaii, it just wouldn't be right for me to forego this post. I know I say this time and time again, but I still cannot believe how quickly time is passing. The university has started sending me all of these checklists in regards to graduation (which is only three weeks away!) and Daniel attended my EXS graduation banquet last week with me. It's all just rolling on in and trumping away. This also means that I only have three more weeks of yucky 5 a.m. shifts! For those who do not know, I am a supervisor at the BYUH Fitness Center and believe it or not, having to spot for all these "macho" men while they bench press has become quite awkward with my seven-month pregnant belly. "Oh, here, let me hover my pregnant belly above your head while you try and lift more weight than both of us know you can..." Yeah, that's the thought. Besides work, everything else is going really swell. The environment in our home is just pure excitement and anticipation: for family, for graduation, for vacation, and then for our little girl to be here! Countdowns galore if I've ever seen them. [22 days until family arrives, 24 days until BYUH graduation, 25 days until Kauai, and 83 days until our due date] And okay, 83 days may not sound like a short amount of time but when you consider that an entire pregnancy is around 266 days..it is coming fast! Jeepers creepers.
Other recent developments: I learned that my wonderful mother has now discovered the power of blogs via instagram (which I introduced her to) and has been reading my updates! Hi Mom!
How far along: 28 weeks!
Due date: June 10, 2014
Sleep: I feel like the fatigue is starting to set in again; so sleep never seems sufficient enough, especially with my early-morning work schedule and fairly long school days. Only three more weeks of this...
Best moment of this week: Reaching the third trimester! She will be here so soon!
Miss anything: I miss being able to tie my shoes like a normal person. I can't bend over well anymore so trying to put on and tie sneakers has become an interesting challenge and somewhat of a balancing act. Sometimes I just have Daniel do it for me.
Movement: Sometimes I feel like she is grabbing my organs and just rolling around town like its a party. Too graphic for you? Well, try being the one with a living person in your belly! Its really cool, actually.
Food cravings: String cheese, yum!
Anything making you queasy or nauseous: No, I only feel sick when I miss meals, but who doesn't?
Labor signs: Nope nope nope. Speaking of, one of our best friend couples Graham and Cinthya are due in the upcoming week/weeks! Tell me how it is!
Belly button in or out: Flaaaat
Wedding ring on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: Fiesty, rawr. But no, happy!
OH! And my super thoughtful mother and father sent me a surprise package with some new maternity clothes! So, naturally I had to roll around in them and photograph it. Thanks Mom and Dad!
And the picture below is just beautiful, so love it as much as I do:
