Week 26th, Entering the 3rd and final trimester

Author: elichris

23 Nov

Seems odd I only have a few more months to go, but I hear these months will be hard.
The baby’s nerves in her ears continue to develop so she’ll respond to sounds more consistently. I guess I’ll start singing more to her.

She’s about 1.7 pounds. I can feel her and I can feel her when she has the hiccups….which has been a few times.

This weekend I had bloody nose issues which is normal for pregnant woman and my back is starting to hurt off and on. I can fix that by just paying attention to my sitting, standing and how I sleep.

In other news we bought a crib, changing table and I started the wall mural. I’ll post more pics, but the one below is from my phone. I also bought some new ugly maternity clothes. I’m noticing maternity pants tend to slide down and I’m constantly pulling them up….do they make suspenders for pregnant women?

The Saints are 10-0….woo hoo and we went to the MLS cup Sunday night and froze our butts off. Peli squirmed a lot, so I’m not sure she was digging the loud crowd noises, or maybe she was.

Off to NYC tonight for the Thanksgiving holidays.

Wow Eli, you’re looking great. It’s been quite a while since I visited the site but clearly pregnancy is being kind to you.

We’re getting ready for turkey and the rest so I finally had a few minutes to catch up. Take care of yourselves, the fun begins soon.

You look great, Eli! I didn’t look like I was pregnant until I was 5 months, but I went from nothing to huge right away! You seem to be doing wonderful. The mural looks like it will be beautiful. Is there a specific theme to it?

Also, the maternity clothes issue is awful! I know… it’s either horrendous and completely laking for shape or style or way too expensive to buy nice ones that you will only wear for a couple of months. It’s lose-lose.

Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving! I have that baby Saints outfit for you when you come to town! See you soon, I hope!
