27 Weeks

Only 13 weeks left.....time is really flying by! As you can see I am quickly growing out of my favorite Auburn shirt. I go back to the Dr. in the morning to check my platelets and iron levels again since they were a little low last time. I am hoping they are back to normal and plan on eating a nice piece of red meat for dinner just in case! We are going to Mikata and I can't wait, I love that place! I have begun to notice that when you are pregnant your belly becomes public property. I am not one to be rude but I am getting very tired of hearing people's reaction when I tell them how far along I am. While some say I look right on track there are those who think it is okay to tell me that I look like I am due any day now. This drives me crazy!! When is it ever appropriate to comment on someone's size...I mean really...I would never say something like this, especially not to a hormonal pregnant women! I have not gone crazy on anyone but would like to slap a few peoples hands from my belly every now and then. Mainly just the strangers who think it is okay to touch my belly...very annoying.

As far as pregnancy goes I think I have had a relatively smooth ride. I am having more back pain and what I think are Braxton Hicks contractions. It is kind of scary because I do not really know what to expect. I have noticed that they usually happen when I am busy doing something and when I rest and drink some water they go away. The past week has been tough because I get tired so easily and can't do everything I want to when I want to. I can tell that my nesting phase, which Josh thought never would begin, has started. This afternoon I re-organized our kitchen cabinets, boxed up 3 sets of china and got rid of some furniture (with Josh and Mitchell's help). By the time the floors are finished I hope to have everything else done.

I have also been taking pictures with my NEW camera...Yeah!! I finally got a new camera and absolutely love it!! It is the Canon SX200 IS and it comes highly recommended. I haven't had much time to play with it but from what I have seen it will be a great camera!! Also on the list of fun new things is my very, very comfortable chaise lounge which I will be spending countless hours on in the coming months. Now we just need to find Josh a new chair and couch.....
Well I guess that is it for now. Crossing fingers for a finished nursery this weekend!!! Hope everyone has a great week!
