Well here we are...29 weeks along. Definitely in the 3rd Trimester. Im excited because we are that much closer to meeting Baby Abel. But Im started to freak out because we have NOTHING ready for him. We know where most of the big stuff is coming from (Brad's parents are buying the crib for us and my parents are getting the pack and play) but, right now, the nursery consists of some boxes and wrapped up decorations on the floor. We dont even have a car seat for him, his dresser/changing table, the rocking chair we are getting from Brad's grandparents, or any bedding at all. Our shower is 2 second weekend of August and I know a lot of it will come then. I guess I would feel better if we were better prepared right now. Part of it is, the ladies on the message board I frequent keep posting pictures of their finished nurseries and closets and we arent even close to being there. Oh well, Im just getting antsy and have to keep reminding myself that we have 3 more weeks till the shower and 11 more weeks to get everything ready. We did buy some dye and fragrance free laundry detergent yesterday to start washing all of his stuff so hopefully that will get me through till I can actually start working on the room.
Other than my obvious wish to get everything ready for him, things are good! Im still feeling great. Not really uncomfortable yet except for this stitch in my right side that Ive been getting most days. I can avoid it by leaning way back in my chair but then Im sitting way far away from my computer. My heartburn has gotten better (Thank God) and Im not crazy tired yet. No swelling of my feet or fingers at all. I can still slip my wedding rings off and on pretty easily.Hopefully I continue to feel good because its just getting hotter here. Ive been lucky so far!
