28 weeks

3rd Trimester!!! Wow time has flown by. Nursery is getting close to looking like a little girls room. Walls are painted, dresser is assembled, waiting for part for crib then we can do it (sending us a new side piece as ours had gash in it. My cousin Sherrie has offered to host the baby shower for us, but not sure when yet. We are signed up for all of our classes through the hospital and the tour comes first on Jan 30th. We are chugging along but I still feel like I have a ton to do but really don't. Haven't washed any of the clothing, bedding, etc yet, think I will wait till after the shower and see what all we get. Did the glucose test last Tuesday and as far as I know I passed. Bi weekly appts start at 30 weeks, hard to believe!

Here is my ever growing bump....

25 weeks 2 days

Been slacking off but trying to get ahead of things with the holidays. We got one wall primed and hope to convince Neil to start the other three this weekend since college football is pretty much done till the bowls start. Almost to double digits! Not much else has changed other than my bump getting bigger, she definitely is a squirmer but not complaining at all. I love it!

Christmas is coming too fast this year, only buying for the kids, my parents, his mom, and the Hobbs family. They will be a family of 5 no later than Wednesday morning too. I am being a bum this year and not putting the tree up, too much effort on my part for just the 2 of us but will do it next year of course. I find myself cleaning at odd times but still slack somewhat. Hoping the nesting phase kicks in soon! Our office building christmas party is today. We go from floor to floor for different food categories and try to be social with everyone. We usually have one of the best food floors too. Our office party is next Friday at the Cherry Valley Lodge. Should be a good time!

From the bump: 6 months/weeks 25-28 

Your Baby: Month 6



Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
