Third Trimester!!! Month #7 (Weeks 28-31)

I am now officially in my 7th month (30 weeks already!) I so happy to say, that I'm still feeling pretty good. However, it's definitely not as easy to move around (ie. get up off the couch, turn over in bed, or even be on my feet for extended periods), but overall, I can't complain. I'm still exercising and stretching a couple times a week, and that's helping my muscles from tightening and cramping up which is common in pregnancy. Other than a little more fatigue (sometimes alot)and a little more heartburn, I feel good. I hope I can still say that at 9 months. Right now, my little boy is 17 inches long, just over 3 pounds in weight and cute all over. His brain is really developing alot right now, so I have to remember to eat my sardines...yummy...lol! They contain high amounts of those omega 3's that are so good for the brain. He's also starting to shed all that baby fuzz that has since covered his entire body to keep him warm. Danny and I attended our Lamaze/Childbirth class on Sat. and it pretty much confirmed for me that I want the drugs when it comes time to deliver. Why? Well, to feel no pain, of course, but, mostly, I don't want to make those funny noises like those women on the video who are in so much pain, and trying to soothe it with those weird panting sounds..LOL! Now, just because I said that, I'll probably sound twice as goofy as they did. The class was fun, though, it had alot of other couples, and many of the dads were quite the comedians, so we laughed alot, especially when the teacher had them wear the fake pregnant belly and had to mimick some of the comfort positions of the laboring mothers in order to demonstrate to us moms how it's done. Then, we went to visit our friends, Che and John in the hospital who just had their new baby girl, Peyton Elise, who is absolutely beautiful. As I held her, my baby must have felt her on my stomach, because he would kick her alot, making her bounce up and down. It was pretty funny.
Well, we're still trying to make a final decision about the name. The three we like are Austin, Chase and Hunter. Daniel will be the middle name. Danny went to a football game the other night, and a couple of the players had the names Austin and Hunter, so of course, that just made him like the names even more. He's looking forward to his little football player to throw a football to....and his little fisherman to bring along on his fishing trips.
The nursery is almost finished, so we'll have pics up soon. Can't wait to see everyone in a few weeks at my shower!! I pray there are no hurricanes that weekend!! See you all soon!!
