Morph

Ok this is really creepy but I was looking through old pictures and found this morphed picture that is a combination of Phil and I. This could be Abigail in 20 years...


It's almost 2am and i'm up with some pretty nasty heartburn. Last night I went to a midnight movie premier, meaning I didn't get home till around 3:30 which is probably why I couldn't fall asleep tonight.

According to specific calculations, I am in my 3rd trimester TODAY!

(Taken from a post on babycenter.com: Divide 40 weeks of gestation by 3 = 13.33 per trimester! Week 1 to 13.33 weeks is 1st Trimester. 13.34 weeks to 26.67 weeks is 2nd Trimester and 26.68 to 40.00 Weeks is 3rd Trimester)

I am 26 and 6 today (Saturday). That blows my mind. Most of the time the end seems so far away. Even now being in my 3rd trimester. Probably also because I have next to nothing prepared yet, which is on purpose. So when I have my showers then I think it will really start to feel real.

I have been really struggling with my weight lately. I'll just be honest; I miss being skinny!!! Not necessarily my belly but everything else. I hate the way my face has gained weight mostly. I actually love the belly part. It's the boobs and the face that get to me. I know I know, I shouldn't beat myself up. I am growing a human after all. It's just hard. I have good days and bad days. Ultimately I have a husband who thinks I'm hot no matter what and is enjoying my rapidly growing chest.

Our first prenatal class went great. It was about possible complications during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.  You'd think that talking about all that kind of stuff would make me more nervous but to be honest it really relieved a lot of my fears. The midwife that ran the class is the owner of the Birth Center and she was just very reassuring. My main emotions towards labor right now are excitement and curiosity. Not that anyone can ever be ready, but I feel ready! Mentally at least.

That's about all that's new on the pregnancy front. She moves like a maniac and Phil feels her a lot more now. I can tell he loves it. More updates to come next week after our next class (Early Home Care) and the next Midwife visit. Hopefully I can get a belly shot somewhere in there too.
