Third Trimester

Last weekend marked the beginning of my third trimester. It's crazy to think how fast this pregnancy has gone by. I went for a doctor's appointment the day after we arrived back home. My last visit was the first week in November (due to my trip to Houston) and I was a bit nervous. When I left for Houston, I barely had a bump and had only gained 10lbs total. It wasn't until right before Christmas that belly popped out.



After checking my blood pressure and weight, everything looked good. I had only gained 9lbs over the last two months and that brings it to a total of 19lbs. With Mason, I gained 30lbs total and by this point last time, I had gained 25lbs. So I was pretty proud of myself. Everything else went smoothly during the appointment and the only thing I need to do sometime this week is go in for my Glucose Screening. I'm not too worried about it. I was fine with Mason and the drink didn't bother me.



Last night I had the idea of bringing out our old home videos of Mason from the last year. I figured that if Mason saw himself as a baby, it might help with the transition of having a little sister in a couple of months. He just sat in our laps with a look of wonder on his face. I'm sure it was a bit confusing seeing his Mommy & Daddy on the TV and while sitting in our laps. I don't know if it helped, but I'm not too worried. He loves babies and anytime he hears a baby cry, he gets upset until the baby stops crying.



After a year, we have finally decided to paint the rooms in the house. I have been looking at paint samples and trying to decide on all of the colors. I'm still not sure what we are going to do about Taylor's room, but we have a couple more months to decide.
