I think I have gotten really big really fast. The top pic is today 28 weeks along then the beginning of this month and then the begging or middle of Oct (not positive on the last date) It seems like you are just going along looking and feeling mostly normal and then suddenly BOOM your stomach is where your lungs once were and normal walking is replaced by a strange waddle. I am only one and a half weeks into my third trimester so I guess this party is just getting started. Things have really been crazy these last few months that is the only excuse I have for not writing. I have been stressed out to the max I go to school full time and work part time and have no time to do everything I want/need to do. Because I have been so tired, I nap enough that it could be another part time job. So, O am either sleeping or eating when i need to be getting school or house work done. Consequently my house and my grades are a mess but, I have a healthy baby in my tummy so that is most important.
I watched a documentary called "In the Womb" by National Geographic the other day and it said something to the effect that if you stress a lot when you are pregnant your baby will be used to having the body symptoms of stress and will be much more likely to be a high stress individual when he or she is older. So, I have been trying to take it easy and follow what my body says to do unfortunately that means I've gotten even less done. At the moment I am OK about it. I feel like it will all work out, school will be done soon enough and it won't matter if i get C's or C-'s in my classes. Heavenly Father will help me do what I need to do and I know for sure he wants me to be a good, healthy mom for this little girl he is placing in my care. I just love her so much! sometimes when she is sleeping I can feel part of her pushing though my skin and I can push around her little hands or feet through my tummy. There is so much love to give her; it is so fun that I can kinda shake her hand, or foot, hello.
I registered at Target today it was fun I tried to only put down the things i needed hopefully people can just print the list online or something and then find a similar item for cheaper. i am worried about the expense of having a 3 person family, registering reminded me how we really have nothing but a few bottles and toys right now and there are big things to buy, car seats, changing table, rocking chair they are all so expensive. also anything that promotes cognitive development while letting you take your eyes off your tot seem to be high priced especially since they will only be used for a year maybe two and then where to store it all till the next one comes along?

Mike was quite sick for a while he got that thing that is going around starts in your throat and moves into your lungs only he got a sinus infection on top of it that turned into an eye infection I can't get him to rest and take it easy so every day at the end of the day he is miserable here are some pics of me forcing him to drink some airborne
Mike always makes the funniest faces but i can rarely capture them on film so consider yourself privileged
Also I am so super excited to go to thanks giving we will be in Cali for Christmas so I really won't be seeing my extended family over the holidays except for tomorrow.
