29 weeks

Only 75 days to go! I am starting to finalize the organization plan around the baby's birth. Agendas have been created, checklists have been printed, instuctions for Patrick have been laminated, the hospital bag is being packed, baby clothes are washed and in the drawers (Patrick and I now have no drawers), records are at the hospital and the baby has a pediatrician. As much as I feel ready and anxious to finally meet my little man I feel like I still have so much to do. I know I will always have more to learn but there is this lingering fear of forgetting something so big and obvious I will be put on an email forward for idiot of the year! (No comments)

Patrick and I continue our house search. We have a new realtor (#4) who will be helping us on Friday and Saturday to try to find shelter for the family. Please say a prayer that we find our dream home (or at least something with a roof that doesn't leak). I am trying to be optimistic. What is meant to be will be...

28.5 weeks

Even the half of the week counts at this point. I am starting to feel huge and uncomfortable. I don't want to complain because I love being pregnant but I can see how in a few weeks I will really be ready to have this over with.

The baby is kicking all the time. His new favorite spot to hang out is under my ribs. I think they are bruised by now.

We are still looking for a house. We had put an offer on a home we loved but after a bidding war we lost when another party was willing to pay cash. Some of us poor people actually have to get a mortgage :) Everything happens for a reason. We know we will find a better place out there for our family.

27 Weeks- It's a boy!!!

Well, the cat is out of the bag- It's a Boy! We announced the good news to the grandparents over the holidays so we may as well spread the word to everyone else.

We are officially in the third trimester and couldn't be more excited! The crib has been delivered (although they have to order us a new one because it has some issues), the newborn clothes are washed and in the drawers, and the showers are only a few weeks away. I can't believe we are almost there.

We are currently looking at houses in Westchester County, NY, and are very optimistic that we will find a nice home for the little man. We can even get a yard for the girls. They are very happy. Other than that, things are going great!

There have been several requests for a picture of the big belly. Against my better judgement here is the latest picture. I will point out that it was taken after a grueling workout explaining my sexy attire- at least I'm still working out :) Enjoy the laugh.
