3rd Trimester

Where did time go??? I am sorry I have sucked at blogging- I shall try and be better! I cannot believe that I am in my 3rd trimester now. This weekend I experienced cramping/braxton hicks contractions for the first time. I don't know who said they do not hurt, because they do. Today I am doing much better though!

This morning I woke up to my normal routine (reading my fav app FML, checking my emails on my phone and reading my what to expect when you are expecting app) as soon as I saw the big YOU ARE IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER! I freaked out. I all of the sudden feel so unprepared, and the next few weeks of my life are crazy crazy! I have plans every weekend till the beginning of August. Out of town almost every weekend as well except for two in July- but I am still have to to stuff those weekends! Ah, too much but at least it will make time go by faster! I am very ready for Avery to be out in the world with Bryan and I.

There are things that happen during pregnancy that no one talks about. I mean I understand why but I will just say WEIRD things happen to your body. I am not going to be the creeper who talks about it on this blog-but if you have been pregnant you know of the wonderful things. But for my wonderful non pregnant friends just ask me and I will tell ya all about the fun stuff you get to look forward to!

In the months that I have not written anything here is a breakdown of what has been going on:
-Nesting as kinda begun. I have realized that I let my house get kind of messy sometimes and it has begun to bother me. I notice myself always picking up stuff-which is a BIG step because I got to a point where laundry would sit clean in the dryer for way to long. So i am taking a big effort to keep my house cleaner. Now I haven't begun the deep cleaning yet and to be honest not sure if that will begin. I hate deep cleaning- maybe that will come but who knows.
-I noticed my first stretch mark :( At this time they are minimal and at least in a place that only one other person sees but still very depressing. I had a rather large breakdown about it as that was one thing that I really did not want to experience but i realize that they will come and I just have to deal...all I can hope if that they fade one day. In the meantime, I have been slathering myself in more lotion then ever before but I know that it probably is doing nothing.
-I am HUNGRY! Still have not had cravings really for anything but I am hungry all the days. My family knows since they have had to travel with me the past two weekends that when Marcy needs food she needs food. But just another great thing about pregnancy!
- I have that weird pregnancy line. I think it is so ugly but it is there and wont go away.
- My once real deep belly button that my mom would make fun of saying I could plant a carrot in it is slowly coming to the surface. I am not a fan of how in every shirt you can see the outline of the button- it just looks strange and weird. I am wondering how long till the thing finally pops...

That is pretty much it... I will post a picture this week of what the bump looks like- I officially look pregnant. No longer does it go down at night and get bigger after I eat-nope I have a belly. People still tell me it is small but let's be real for someone who has never experienced a belly it is a big transition. But the good news is it can pop if it wants now..I got in my dress for bff's wedding (with some alterations) so now I do not have to stress so much about the belly. It is gonna grow no matter what I do so know it is just nice to not have to worry about getting into a dress that I bought not pregnant-bring on the comfy maternity clothes.
