3rd Trimester: Holy cow, how did we reach the 3rd trimester already? Time is really flying by! I'm happy to report that little boy and I are in excellent health. Not a single complaint to be had. No pain, no swelling, no heartburn...we're being spoiled and are really grateful! And while I can't wait to meet my little karate champ, I'm happy to let him keep on cooking a while longer while Daddy and I try to prepare for his arrival. We moved a lot of things this weekend to make room (okay, Joe moved, but I supervised really well); and all that's left is to clear some drawer space in our room and set up whatever baby contraptions we receive and buy in the next month or so. The countdown is on and I'm starting to feel like we may be ready in time :)
Family Time: I had a wonderful weekend with my family in Hendersonville, and spent a fabulous Easter Sunday with Joe. I was able to spend time with my niece and nephew, my sister and brother-in-law, and parents and my grandparents. And it was the first time they've seen me in person since I had this fabulous baby belly. Little man got lots of belly rubs, unfortunately he didn't want to cooperate and put on a show for anyone. I don't think he's going to be an entertainer. Aunt Kasey told him that next time she sees him he better be kicking, but I'm thinking next time she sees him he'll be a free man and living on the outside. She can't wait to spoil this little guy.
The really emotional moment of the weekend was when my Grandfather leaned down and told my Grandma "you're going to be a Great-Grandma again hun, our Krysie is having a baby". I won't lie, I cried like a baby myself. I wish she was able to understand because she would be so happy for Joe and I. I really miss being able to talk to her. But I will tell Little Man all about her and how much fun she and I had, and all the things she taught me growing up. He'll know how much she loved us and how she dreamed of this little boy for Joe and I.
Technology: Joe bought us something called Belly Buds so Little Man can listen to music. We've been playing him different types of music. Lullabies, classical, and some old school hip hop (he loves his bass). These belly buds are great because they stick on my stomach, so I can watch TV or read while Little Man listens to music and grows that cute little noggin of his. Daddy is so in to technology, thank goodness. He'll be able to guide his son and keep up to date. I can already imagine lots of Daddy/Son bonding time over the newest gadgets on the market, while they laugh about how clueless Mommy is.
