Soon to be a Simpson.....: Hello 3rd Trimester!

Belly Weeks 28 & 29

Officially in the 3rd trimester now!!!!!! Holy crap where in the world did the time go?? It seems like we were just getting back from Hawaii and I took the positive pregnancy tests. I have been working day shift mon-fri the last couple weeks so normal work hours. I do love having the weekends off and my evenings but it takes a bit of time to get in the routine. I'm so used to sleeping until 8/9 am everyday and having Mon & Fri off every week. I am thoroughly exhausted when I get home but then I never just sit and relax. Always something to do! I really should take advantage of the down time now because I know my world will be turned upside down when this little chickie makes her appearance. Week 28 had lots of heartburn. Along with the heartburn I would have coughing fits. While driving home from work at 4 am had to pull over and hack on the side of the road after a whole bunch of coughing. My throat burned so badly from dry heaving. While I was trying to puke something up my nose started bleeding like crazy. I sure am glad it was the time that it was becasue I probably looked like a lunatic! I didn't even have any water in my car but I did have milk that I had just bought from Casey's. Rinsed my mouth out with some moo juice and then headed home. I was extrememly thankful to see my bed and pjs after all that!! Rhett has been working on our landscaping project like crazy. It is almost completely finished and it turned out great. Eventually I will share pictures on facebook. I have been going through the baby clothes I have already and sorting them. I plan to wash all the newborn and 0-3 months for now and wait on the rest till needed. I finally put something in a drawer!! Trying to get closet cleaned out and organized. It is amazing how much crap gets accumulated in such a small space in only 4 years. Week 29 started off a bit scary. I gave Rhett a ride to his Mom & Dad's and then headed to work. I didn't get very far though because I wrecked my car. I was reaching for a napkin from my glove box and in the process took the wheel with me, ran off the road, overcorrected, went back off the road into a field and hit a telephone pole. All I can say is I am counting my blessings because I am perfectly fine and so is baby B. It all happened in an instant and was the most horrifying thing I have ever experienced. The pole hit behind where I was sitting and the ice cream cake in my back seat got the worst of it. I did hit my forehead on my door window and got a bump/bruise. I climbed out and immediately called Rhett & work to let them know I would be late. We couldn't get the drivers door open but he did drive it home while I took the truck back. After getting my bearings straight I headed to work in my denali. I never had any belly pains and felt plenty of movement all day so no concerns with baby. Plus I was at a hospital so I figured if I did start feeling bad it was the best place to be. My forehead was a bit sore so I iced it in between patients. Everyone at work was so wonderful all day. Thank you to all my lovely co-workers you know who you are! Literally 5 minutes before it all happened Rhett commented how that car was going to just blow up one day. It was a 2001 and has been around the block in our family. My dad, sister, & I all have made it well used. I think he jinxed me. I know it could have been a lot worse so I am extremely thankful it turned out the way it did. On to a lighter note...my shower invites were mailed out. They are super cute!! Thank you to my wonderful sister!!

I got on to make some adjustments the other night and noticed a couple items were bought already!! Ahhhh so exciting!!! I have such amazing family & friends.

September will be a busy busy month with the shower, childbirth classes, breastfeeding class, finishing up room decorating. Before I know it Halloween will be here and so will baby!!!!!
