Third Tri

Wow...3rd trimester. Here I am. 12 weeks to go until the official due date. How am I feeling??

Tired, grumpy, excited, a little fearful, full of questions, worried about getting all our pre-baby classes completed. You know...the normal stuff that comes along with pre-baby.

I am trying so so hard to live in the moment and enjoy these last days that Cory and I have that are just the two of us. I know I still have close to 3 months before this little snuglet arrives, but it will go quickly!

We will be taking a very mini vacation just after Labor Day--probably over to the Peninsula somewhere...maybe Port Townsend--one of our favorite places to daytrip to. We're hoping we can swing two nights. We wanted to try and plan a trip by train up to Vancouver, but I don't think it's in the cards this time.

Had a LOVELY baby shower last weekend, hosted by my wonderful friend Tasha! It was so special to celeberate with friends. Tasha did an amazing job...amazed at her stamina being nearly 8 months pregnant! You all spoiled me for sure! A MILLION GAJILLION THANKS! My Mom and Stepdad were here and we had a really great visit. Mom made the curtains that went up in the baby room, stayed for the shower while Cory, Stepdad Ben, and my Dad (who stayed wtih us Sunday night) tooled around the Ballard Seafood Fest. A big weekend full of amazing company and friends. I even made it most of the way around Greenlake with Dad and Cory on Sunday. I did have to stop early and waited for them to get the car--I had a bad sideache that just kept getting worse. It felt good to walk though, and the weather was awesome.

I was super tired and not feeling all the well Monday, so I done called in sick and took the day off. Stayed home and pretty much napped. Worked on a couple of small projects, but pretty much just laid low. It was nice...though I did get a little lonely by the end of the day and was happy when my hubster walked through the door.

Looking forward to the weekend again tomorrow. I'm treating myself to see Harry Potter (yep, I'm a dork), planning some morning coffee time, brunch with a friend Sunday, and then my Mom and Stepdad are here again Sunday night. Mom got a fancy new Macbook Pro from a place here in Seattle and is bringing it over for programming. I think it's an early retirement gift for herself...she is retiring at the end of this month. So crazy! So proud of her though for doing it a little earlier than she had originally planned! It's a big change.

I'll try to do some more regular posting. I've felt a little lazy about it lately...when I start I can't think of much to say, or something silly like "it's not important enough". Silly, Miriam.
