25 Weeks and counting!

As I get closer to my third trimester I have been looking back at how fast this pregnancy has gone for me. I feel so blessed. This has been an easy pregnancy all in all. While I had my typical morning sickness till about 13/14 weeks, I didn't throw up but a couple of times. And since I have been really pushing myself on a very high protein, good for you diet, I feel great. Way better than I have felt with either of my other babies. I still have stuff. I get tired, but I just take a nap with Kayla. My back hurts, I put my feet up for ten minutes, and then get back to work. I have a hard time turning over in bed....okay, so I don't have a remedy for that one....I just try not to need to move to much. LOL

I just can't believe that it is almost over. I mean, I only have about 15 weeks left until my due date. It feels crazy. I have already started nesting I think. Which I never really did with Alyssa, and I only kind of did with Kayla. But I have this list of things that I want done before the baby is born. I have a list of things that I have to do between now and when the baby is born. Its all a little crazy. But thankfully my sister is going to come stay with me a few weeks between now and then, and has promised to help me get it all taken care of.

I still want to find someone to take pictures of the birth. And I would like to find another doula type person....since Bennett and I both really want him to be the one to deliver the baby, so I will need another person with me....I am a hand holder when I push. Just talking about actually giving birth is making me excited...I know, most people don't think of it that way...but I am excited. I have kind of always felt like, okay how can I do it better this time. I really look forward to the actual delivery...and there is nothing like getting to hold the baby for the first time. To finally get to meet my newest little one face to face. *sigh* There is nothing else like it in this world. :)
