Adjustments? First of all, I would like to go back in time to my 31-weeks-pregnant-with-Silas-self and smack her.  My answer to this then was how I was adjusting to "all the free time" I had since I was done at my job and could focus all on the baby, blah blah blah.  Shew, musta been nice ;)  Um this time, adjusting to not being able to hold my bladder.  Yeah, that's right.

Emotions: Excited, overwhelmed, scared to death, and happy! ;) :)

Learned this week:  That time is moving at the speed of light!  Gulp!

So thankful for:  My sis-in-law and her family coming for a long weekend to help! They came in on Friday when we closed on our house, and Joel helped Jason a ton doing the laminate there, while Carrie helped me here a ton at the apartment!!!  They left today which is sad, BUT also so thankful for my dad-in-law coming too which was an unplanned surprise!!!! He's able to stay for a couple days and keep helping!!

Looking forward to:  Moving in to our new house and getting through these next couple of insane weeks!!! :-) :-)

Maternity clothes? Sure.... when I'm out... at home, it's more like Jason's shirts and sweats.

Stretch marks? Not yet...

Sleep: Been getting SUPER uncomfortable.  Oh, third trimester, how fun you are.

Best moment this week: Getting my glucose tolerance test OVER with.

Miss anything? Having more energy and strength:/ 

Movement: Tons- I was thinking the other day how in the world to describe some of the wacky feelings- and I mean a lot of it feels like exactly what it is: knees and elbows pounding your insides; a little baby booty bouncing on your bladder.  But one that's harder to explain is when he's stretching or something and it's like when you blow up a pool float, and you keep thinking it's blown up all the way, but you keep blowing in it and random little spots pop full with more air and it just gets fuller and fuller.... yeah, that's how I feel sometimes when he's stretching and stuff;)

Food cravings: Sushi.  And funnel cakes.  And tea with honey.  Yeah, weird.

 Symptoms: Sciatica, restless legs, and that nasty food-crawling-up-my-throat feeling like I had in the 1st trimester. 

Showing? So this little girl (maybe 7ish) calls out to me "Hey, you're pregnant!"  Why yes, yes I sure hope so;)

Gender:  Boy!

Belly button in or out? Out.

 Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments? Adjusted this blog background- am I the only one that found my last one to be unbearably annoying with all the little polka dots behind the text??  Or was that just pregnancy hormones?;)

Emotions: Ummm been a bit more emotional lately... doesn't take much to bring on the water works, whether happy or sad lol;)  Poor Jason;)

Learned this week: So thankful for:  Air conditioning!  Holy heat, Greenville!

Looking forward to:  Finding out if I passed my glucose tolerance test or not!
