Goodbye Second Trimester...I'll Miss You!

I have to say, I'm a little sad that my second trimester is over... I always looked forward to the second, and not so much to the third. But today's the big day. I've heard a lot of stories about sleep becoming incredibly uncomfortable and sporadic. Well, luck would have it that I experienced this for myself the very night I crossed over into the third phase of pregnancy. Thane received a "timely" text message at 1:30am, and I was then wide awake until 5am- the night before our big drive to Virginia for Thanksgiving. Of course! I think there's an unwritten law of nature that says I will by no means get a good nights sleep the night prior to traveling. Haha, but praise God I'm blessed to be a stay at home wife and I have the luxury of sleeping in and napping just about any old time I need to. So, no complaints here- I just couldn't help but notice the prompt timing of the welcome into the third trimester, classic symptoms and all! I have to admit, I was less than chipper while cooking Thane breakfast this morning. But despite my tired grumpiness and frustration at realizing we had almost no breakfast food left in the house, he insisted on going to the store before work to buy milk for me. We'd been out for a couple of days and I hadn't gotten more knowing we'd be going out of town. But alas, I got to have a nice bowl of cereal and I'm already looking forward to one of my other favorites, chocolate milk!

And, despite last night's fiasco with insomnia, it really is wonderful to only be a few short months away from meeting our little boy. Does anyone want to guess what I did for four and half hours I was awake? Thought about nothing but decorating the nursery! Haha, it's all so exciting, I can't wait to order the crib set and to get around to some little art projects for the walls. I love to plan it all out in my mind and picture what it'll look like when it comes together, complete with baby and all. And now that I've (fairly) successfully finished one sewing project- a bible cover- I feel that much closer to sewing some things for the nursery. Now I just need to convince Thane that we "need" the Joel Dewberry sparrow fabric that I'm basing the theme on... :)

But first thing's first, we're driving to Virginia for Thanksgiving weekend tonight!
