There's a small acrobat in my belly...27 weeks

Well here we are, we've made it to the 3rd Trimester, wahoo! It's really hard to believe that we only have three more months til we meet out little baby girl. It's hard to believe and incredibly terrifying. We have so much left to do. I feel like we've been going non stop for the last six months and busting our butts to get this house ready and we still have so much to do. I'm so glad I have Joseph to keep calm while I freak out every other day. He's cool as a cucumber even though all he's been doing for the last couple months is paint paint paint. He's amazing and I don't know what I would do without him. Well I guess I wouldn't be in this whole situation without him haha!
Anyhoo, so not too much has happened in the past weeks since I last blogged. Same ole same ole, growing and eating and growing some more. I'm still walking everyday and Lincoln is still enjoying it I think although I do believe he's starting to see our afternoon walks as more of a chore than anything else. I can't say that I blame him, there's only so many things you can do to make walking fun and I feel as though Lincoln and I have reached the fun limit. I even bought him a new harness to try to spice things up, it was exciting for about ten minutes. I don't really have much of a choice though, walking is the only thing I can do these days, and even that's becoming increasingly more difficult and hot.
So as we progress into the third trimester I'm realizing this pregnancy thing is not for the faint of heart, as if anyone ever thought it was. I can't sleep at night, my feet hurt, my back hurts, my knees hurt, I'm back to peeing every ten minutes (half the reason I can't sleep), and I have three more months to go. yay! But there are so many cool things that go along with being pregnant too. It's not all bad I promise! I actually really enjoy being pregnant, despite all my complaining. Our little girl moves around almost constantly, she flips twists turns kicks and punches and it's really entertaining, just ask Joseph. It's hilarious to watch my stomach dance about. The other cool thing is that people tend to do nice things for you, move out of your way, and are just extra nice in general. It's pretty awesome and necessary because I certainly can't do everything the way I used to. Some people still dont seem to understand that I'm pregnant and can't manage to run about all over the place like I used to but they shall remain nameless. But on a related yet interesting note, women who have had kids a surprisingly less sympathetic than one would imagine....ok I better change the subject now.
The other interesting thing that rears its ugly head while you're pregnant is other peoples' jealousy. For the dozens and dozens of people that are absolutely overjoyed for you there are those out there that are nothing but jealous. It's sad really but a fact of life and I feel sorry for them. They are the same people that were jealous when you got married, bought a house, got a new job...basically they just can't find it in their hearts to be happy for you because they are not happy with their own lives. It's a hard thing to understand but at some point you just have to realize these people are just bitter and if you spend too much time thinking about them and their ill will it will take time away from the joy and happiness you have. I just really feel sorry for these types of people.
But as I said no time for that, we are having a baby in 3 months and we have soooo much to do. Next week we are getting a 4D ultrasound which kinda freaks me out but is still exciting! We will see what our baby looks like, crazy! Our doctor's appts are now every two weeks so the clock is def. clicking. We've taken all our baby classes and know everything now, haha jk!  We do realize that we'll never be fully prepared but we're going to try our best. I'm so excited I can't stand it!
There are also a few things that need to repeating for those that didn't get it the first time.  Things not ok to ask/do to a pregnancy lady:
Are you going to breast feed?  NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!  The next time someone asks me this I'm just going to punch them in their face.
Rubbing my belly.  Again, punch to the face. My space, your space...not that difficult.
How much weight have you gained?  Next time someone asks me this I'm going to say none, what are you talking about?
What are you going to name your kid? Hitler, Mussolini, Fido, Rumplestilskin....
What are you going to do with Lincooln?  Ship him off to Canada, what the hell do you think we're going to do with him, he's our dog and he's a part of this family.  Yeah he's a pain in the ass sometimes but he's the most loyal loving wonderful dog in the whole world. so back off.
Ahh that is all for now.....
blogging makes me feel better :-)
