Two Down One To Go

So much to blog about so little interest in being witty... Yesterday was the first day of the last trimester of my pregnancy. There is a part of me that feels like this pregnancy has been creeping along, that part of me is incredibly inpatient and thankful that I didn't find out until the 15th week or I would have made myself and everyone around me crazy by now. Well crazier! On the otherhand, I feel like the end of summer will never come and there is a little part of me that is okay with just being pregnant forever...

My belly is officially and unmistakably a pregnant belly and yet I have not really purchased a whole lot of maternity clothes. They are expensive and awkward looking, that is when I am actually able to find them in Topeka. My friend Jessica told me about the Belly Band which has worked wonders on expanding all of my non-pregnancy pants. Yesterday there was an 8-inch gap that it had to accommodate for, God Bless the inventor of the belly band.

The feet love to swell, it is their favorite pastime. Yesterday I tried to wear loafers, at some point I slipped them off my feet while I was sitting at my desk and then I could not get them comfortably back onto my feet. I am grateful that I am pregnant in the summer when it comes to shoes, I can wear a variety of flip flops and my feet can swell to their yummy little delight.

We are getting baby stuff left and right lately. Brooke has a friend that had a baby boy about eleven months ago and he has been showering us with his leftovers. He has given us a Boppy Swing, a bath tub, a Boppy, a lovely Graco car seat and two bases and a very cool walker that looks like a red corvette. Tracey and Vicki went garage saleing and got us a ton of little clothes and me some very nice maternity clothes. And finally, Shellie took Isabelle shopping and they got some bute outfits and a ton of bibs. Brooke asked me the other day what we were going to register for, I think a car to tote this baby around.

I guess that is really all I had, I apologize for the lack of funny stories, this really is more a techinical update. Stay tuned though, I am sure that a whole summer of giant belly in Kansas heat will produce humor, at least for those around me.
