Third trimester....say whaaa?! Pretty much staring at those words on the computer screen like a deer in headlights. It's shocking, yet wonderfully exciting, to think that we are so close to meeting our Little One. This also puts new stress on this Momma as I begin to think of all the things that need to be done in such a short time. Number one on that list? Soaking up every minute of Baby being inside my belly. Every hiccup, every karate chop, even every lovely bout of heartburn is a reminder of this indescribable time I get to share with our Little Boy. The appointments and to-do list can wait...I'm busy loving this tiny, new life.
To our Baby Boy:
We've taken you lots of places this past week and you kicked your way right through them all. You especially loved the Journey concert; you played tons of air guitar and seemed to really enjoy Pat Benatar. Good taste in music, Little Man! Never listen to your Dad when he says "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" is a chick song. You really want cheeseburgers and fries these days, and Momma is gladly giving in to your wishes. We are counting down the hours until we get to see you on the big screen for your 4d ultrasound tomorrow. Please flash us a smile! We love you, Tiny.

Looking forward to:
1. Baby's big 4d ultrasound tomorrow afternoon. We can't wait to see his sweet face!
2. Going to a storage auction tomorrow morning....Zach is especially pumped. He watches entirely too much Storage Wars.
3. Flying to Colorado on Wednesday to spend a few days with one of my favorite people, Whitney (over at Keeping Up with the Cyperts). We plan on doing some baking and thrift shopping, two of our favorite things. I'm also getting to see my little brother and parents in Colorado Springs for a couple days. I've missed Ryan so much!
Hope you've all had an amazing weekend! Thanks for reading :)
Beautiful letter to Tiny as always. I loved that he enjoyed the concert.
ReplyDeleteHe def has good taste in music!
Happy 28 weeks!
Gorgeous dress! Can't believe it's the third trimester: it has gone by fast! I hope you have a wonderful trip to Colorado and I can't wait to hear all about your storage auction fun! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteah you are looking amazing at 28 weeks! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteand I am glad you like the hiccups--- I am getting a little sick of them! I mean, I am glad he gets him, it's like a reassuring sign he's okay and in there.. but it's like I get them every time after I drink something!
and my rings just barely started feeling tight today! I think it was super hot today, but I'm hoping to make it 7 more weeks without taking them off!
How cool you get a 4d ultrasound! You'll get to see baby's features!
Your simply all belly chicka!! Lookin good!!
ReplyDeleteWow it's such a lovely idea, i mean 'To our Baby Boy'! It really touched my soul. You're beautiful, and both you and your husband seem to have a great personality. Wish you luck and love! Followed with pleasure)
ReplyDeleteMy husband jut wanted in and said, "Kate, I hope you look like that when your pregnant." haha He means, you have the cutest little baby bump. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy third trimester! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are sleeping well! I craved cheeseburgers and fries a few weeks ago like crazy and now, I can't look at them. I hope my craving comes back. Lol
