good morning 3rd trimester!

Still suffering from a bad case of sinus congestion for the past couple of days, i at last found a comfortable position to get some sleep in and was able to get in a full12 hr snooze last night. I have been miserable since I cant take any medication and toss and turn leaving me dragging during the day. But last night was for some reason the most amazing sleep I have got in a really long time! It was nice waking up feeling at least sleep wise refreshed and knowing it is the beginning of my third trimester! Hellllo week 28. In the past week the reality check has really started to set in and im starting to think I am not prepared at all and do we really know what we are getting our selves into? Im assuming this is normal in all first time moms because on the flip side I cant go a day without getting completely giddy and excited to have my little girl in my arms.

Tomorrow morning Jerrod and I will be attending a baby shower on base put on by the march of dimes and shriners. The guest list is made up of military families depending on your rank, which baby it is and if you have attended the appropriate classes to get prepared for your new bundle of joy. We were so excited to get the invite. There will be cake and food and of course PRESENTS!

I am working on refurbishing the combo unit to go in the nursery. I just ordered custom hand painted dresser knobs (the old ones needed to be replaced anyways) they match the forest friends decor perfectly! and are actually waaay cheaper than any cheap knobs we were finding in the stores. score for me! so excited to get them in and add them to the finished product. Now we just need to find some strong people to help get the massively heavy piece of furniture upstairs...with my pregnant belly and jerrods bad back we cant do it :(

This week we also signed Addison up for daycare at the CDC. I am planning to return to a full time job in the fall or atleast part time...so we went ahead and signed up just incase. If Jerrod ends up getting orders to deploy then I will stay home and wait till he gets back to work full time.

Only time will tell...
