EVOLUTION OF A BELLY

I am almost done my third and last trimester and can't believe how fast the whole pregnancy has gone, even the third trimester has flown buy, thank goodness. So thought I needed to post one more like and dislike before I forget everything once Macie comes.

Third Trimester Likes:
- Feeling baby kick, move, punch and jab everyday.
- Getting endless good results from my Doctors, this one has been so big. Everytime I have a Doctor's appt (like today) they have nothing but good news for me. example: today I got to hear again that Macie's head is still down and is getting lower, her heartbeat is excellent as always. My results for a Bacteria that I might have were negative, and the best part is the Doctor thinks that there is a sweet little baby in me. His exact words (you have got a little one in there for sure)
- Having her Nursery almost finished
- How my complexion and hair keeps staying so nice
- Still being able to exercise almost everyday
- Maintaining a healthy weight. My goal was to stay under 30 lbs so far I am at 24 and only 3 weeks left to go I am thinking I am good to go.
- How everybody looks at you and thinks how cute she is having a baby
- How everybody asks me about the baby, name, sex, due date, how I feel. I light up every time I get to talk about her, it does not bother me at all.
- Getting all the books read I want read to hopefully help me be a better mom, or maybe a good word to use is a less stressed mom.
- Having an excuse to not do something if I don't want to do it. example: clean the shower
- Being done work on this Thursday and having a couple weeks to rest, relax, get my house ready, read lots more books and just enjoy some time to myself.
- anticipating the arrival of our sweet baby
- watching Mark and I freak out sometimes because we still can't believe this is happening
- going into her room everyday and picturing her playing in hear, looking at her clothes and thinking of her wearing them, and looking in her crib and picturing her sleeping in it.

Dislikes:
- The back pain from never being able to find a good bra
- sleepless nights, from struggling to get comfortable
- how hard it is to do most things: bend over, shave, put on shoes, get pt files, and many more.
- I can't decide if this is a like or a dislike, but how funny I look when I walk.
- feeling over heated about 90% of the time

I would still do it all over and over again, and go through it for a longer period if I had to to have this sweet baby, but you really come to realize how much you take a healthy body for granted. It makes me want to be even that much healthier, and in shape once Macie comes. I don't want anything to hold me back.
