MONTH 7!!
I think there was something magical about entering into the Third Trimester, and I don't mean a Disney World kind of magical. What I mean is that for the first time since becoming pregnant, I actually began having "symptoms". I'm serious, something happened as soon as I hit 27 weeks, which according to pregnancy calendars is the beginning of the Third Trimester.
-I've suddenly experienced exhaustion in a whole new way. I am SOOOO TIRED ALL THE TIME!!
-Charley Horses. 'Nuf said.
-Hot flashes. And it doesn't help that it's AUGUST! I told Kevin that our next baby is going to be born in the Winter.
-Emotional. I want to cry about everything and I get irritated easily.

-Kidney Stones. At least that's what the doctors speculate. They can't really know 100%, but they have no reason to believe it was anything else. I had to stay at the hospital over night because I was in severe pain and was sick.
I still can't complain though because this pregnancy has really been so easy and nothing serious has happened. I have been blessed. No one could have prepared me for how active the baby would be at this point! When the baby is "going crazy" I like to sit and just watch my belly move all over the place. The baby likes to sit right up near my ribs which at times makes it difficult to breathe. Not knowing the gender of the baby was easy at first, then it was hard, then it was easy again, and now it's hard again! I'm soooo anxious (a good kind of anxious) for the moment I meet my little one face to face and I'll finally know if it's my son or my daughter! I love having the surprise for this first baby, but I want to find out what my second baby is and have a party to reveal the gender to the family. That'd be fun. Only about 10 weeks left. WOW!!!
