Well, I'm 28 weeks along and I can't believe there's only 12 weeks to go. This pregnancy has been really easy and it has gone by super fast. I don't feel or look as big as I did with Cooper. But I guess I still have a few more months to grow. I do feel uncomfortably big though and I don't fit into any of my clothes anymore and my maternity clothes selection is slim. It's annoying! I can't sleep through the night very well either and I have the weirdest dreams. I don't even worry about stretch marks because I know no matter what, I'm going to get them. I also haven't gotten swollen like I did with Cooper. But I think that might have to do with the fact that I had him in the summer.
She is a mover! I can feel her move all the time. It's mostly in the lower abdomen so she makes me have to pee a lot. :-) On one occasion I felt her up in my ribs and that was an odd first. I don't really have any weird cravings. In the first trimester I craved pickles and sugary stuff more than usual. I've only thrown up on 3 significant occasions. All of which I think I just over ate and it felt like a 24hr stomach flu bug. The first time was the evening after Thanksgiving dinner, the second time was after eating at an all you can eat buffet, and the third time was after eating a bunch of New Years Eve party food. After the third time I decided I need to stop pigging out. But food is just so yummy! :-)
We finally moved Steve's brother out of the baby's room so we can get started on it. I feel like the next 3 months will go by pretty fast so I hope we can get everything ready in time. I even have to type up 7 weeks worth of sub plans as part of my preparations. Egh! And we don't really have any girl stuff. We're not sure on any names or nursery themes yet. As of now the tentative plan is to use a Minnie Mouse beach theme border with bright green, pink, orange, and yellow colors. We're having a hard time picking out a name too. As of now we like Harley, Lillian, and Aurora. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Well, that's the scoop for now. We'll keep you updated as the date gets closer.

cute! Your lil belly! It must be a girl thing. With Nora in the first trimester all I wanted was pickles and swedish fish. I can't stand swedish fish now. But I'll still eat pickles. Is that weird?? Do you have any names yet??
