My dear son, Landen, is at the point ot where he is constantly hitting/kicking/punching me and I love it.  It does get uncomfortable and painful at times (like when he aims for the ribs), but I love it, b/c it ensures me that he is okay and doing well in there.  There are also times when he gets the hiccups and ends up kicking me in the ribs and/or bladder with every hiccup, but it is still all good, b/c he is healthy and strong and getting bigger every day.  I love it and can't wait to meet my little one! Only 11 more weeks to my new due date, (less than 9 to my old one).  I am so excited!  

Well, as of last Saturday, I am officially in the 3rd trimester!  I still feel good, and can't wait to meet my son!  My energy level has gone down a bit, since I started back to work (teaching), but I expected it.  I have an appointment tomorrow with my doctor.  This pregnancy is dragging on!  I think part of it has to do with the fact that my original due date was 11/21 and then they moved me to 12/6 - so that is a difference of 15 days.  My calculations (I was charting when we concieved) would put him due at 12/3.  Hopefully he will come a few days earlier than expected.  (I would like him to come a week before :)).  My last day of work is 11/25, then we have a few days off for Thanksgiving break, so my first official day off is 12/2.  I get a total of 9 weeks off.  I hope comes early, so I can spend the most time with him.  I am so impatient right now. DH and I have his room finished.  My shower isn't going to be until the first weekend of November, though.  Time is inching by ....

and it was so frustrating.  The crib wasn't so bad, but the changer came in like a million pieces.  The good thing is that this one of those grow with your child sets.  The crib will change to a toddler bed and then a head board for full size bed.  The changer doesn't have any railings on it so it looks like a dresser.  I am still waiting to get the chest of drawers that I ordered (it's on back order).  It looks good though.  I now I have quite a few months left (3 1/2), but I wanted to get as much done now, before I head back to work (I am a teacher and only have 1 1/2 weeks left off work).  Landen's nursery is looking good.  I will post photos as soon as it is finished (which probably won't be for a while).

My mother took me shopping and first we went to this discount pary supply store (you have to have a vendor's license to get in) to buy stuff for the baby shower and she spent way too much money, but the stuff we got was really cute.  We are doing a brown and blue theme and the napkins say "Sweet Prince" on them and we bought teddy bears with a blue ribbon tied around their necks, and we are going to attcach balloons that say "sweet prince" on the bears.  

Then we went to motherhood maternity store and my mom bought all kinds of clothes, which is a good thing really b/c I don't have anything to wear anymore.  I love my mom, but she seriously can spoil someone in a heartbeat.
