28 weeks..... Third Trimester for Lemony Snicket

Some say 3rd trimester starts at 26+6....some say it starts at 27.....some say it starts at 28......well, either way you look at it, I'm officially in third trimester, ahhhhh!

Things are starting to look and feel real around here and I'm not quite sure I'm totally ready to let down my guard just yet. Our nursery art will be painted on the walls this week and the frames will arrive so that we can hang the prints. I also ordered this lamp from Walmart that I'm particularly excited about! We needed a little extra light plus I needed a place to put the noise machine and maybe a picture frame or two....this solves all problems in one!

My mom mailed out her invitations for her shower and my MIL's shower invites will be headed out soon too....which means I'm going to be stalking my registry now to see if/when things are bought. I'm too OCD to just wait and see, yah no I want to start planning for where to put things! I fixed up a few final things tonight so its 100% good to go. I cant believe I forgot to register for Wubbanubs, gahhh they're so cute!

Yesterday I also used my Xmas money and got two really cute outfits for both of the showers. I'd post pics of what I got but I don't want to ruin the surprise :) While I was changing in the dressing room I happened to notice a new brood of stretch marks on the horizon. Oh well....as my friend says they are marks of a warrior. Yes indeed that I am!

Anywho.....this week wasn't too bad. No more contractions, yay!!!  I do, however, have a clot in my right hand from where they tried to put the IV in. Hence the title of the blog post (Lemony Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events is a popular kids book series) , haha. This week also made me sooooo very appreciative of the opportunity to work from home. We had our first official snow and some brutal temperatures this week and I stayed on my couch with my comfy bear slippers I got for Xmas!
That's about all for now I guess.....here is my official "Hello 3rd trimester" shot, a pic of Chesney and (what she thinks is hers) my maternity pillow, and some nesting in full force!
