I have just begun the third trimester, and already I am feeling many more discomforts than previously. I am finding I am short of breath even when just sitting, and have to focus on taking deeper breaths. Sleeping at night is still pretty good with no heartburn yet (I'm crossing my fingers), but I am constantly being woken up by having to use the washroom and I am finding he is most active in the middle of the night.... Great. I am still working full-time and planning to for the next two months, but I am feeling more and more tired after a full day of work, and finding my back pain is just getting worse. I like being able to work though because it keeps my mind on something else, and the days go by faster. Okay this is all sounding negative, but really the only great thing about being pregnant, for me anyway, is feeling our little guy moving around. It never gets old for me and Michael. That will probably be the only thing I miss about being pregnant.
Last week I went for my gestational diabetes exam. After checking in, the lady at reception handed me a very large class of orange soda and told me to drink it within 5 minutes. So I go sit back down and it seemed like all of the 30 people in the waiting room were staring at me while I tried to chug this nasty tangy orange soda drink, while feeling hot and trying to keep it down. Gross.
No, we don't have a name for our boy yet... We have about 10-15 names we like (ha), we just aren't sure if we want to name our son them... so we probably won't decide on a name for sure until we get to see what he looks like. Anyway, my mind is blank right now on what else to write.. so until next time.

Baby shower for Madison and Becky
Last weekend we threw my sister Becky and adorable niece Madison a baby shower. It was fun to have lots of family and friends come to support the new baby and Mom and spoil them a little. We ate some food, enjoyed company, and played a few games!

That Sunday they did a baby blessing for Madison and then we all went out to Cardston for a family potluck since some family from out of town was around AND to celebrate Grandmas 70th birthday!!!!
Pregnancy has been going good lately. I am LOVING feeling this little guy move around a lot. It's definately my favorite part of being pregnant and it never gets old. We are not having much luck with names, so I think we will just have to meet him to decide on a name. Back pain is pretty much the only thing that is not going well lately. It seems to always be getting worse. It hurts a lot to sit anytime after noon, not really sure why, so laying down or standing is the only relief I get, and if I am working, standing is not something I want to do more of when I don't have a client. But I will take this back pain over the sickness I experienced in the first few months. I am now 26 weeks and cannot believe how fast this is all going by. Michael and I are always talking about how excited we are to meet our little boy and how soon it will be.
Thanks for all your suggestions for your favorite baby essentials... Any more advice is welcomed!!

After hoping Madison would be born a Friday evening so Michael and I could be there and see her on the weekend, it finally happend!! 8:45, just 15 minutes after we got into Lethbridge, she arrived!! Here we are waiting to see baby and Becky. We didn't get a lot of pictures because Michael took quite a bit of video with our video camera instead. She is the most adorable little girl who squeeks all the time!! This whole family is just loving her.

Not a lot has been going on for Michael and I. We have started to get a lot of the essentials, and can't believe we get to meet this little boy in only 3 and a half months! I have been surprised lately by how excited Michael is getting too!! It's so fun to see him like that and talk about what our lives might be like when he comes.
Any advice or favorite baby items we should take a look at?
