You really don't have to read this one....

Dear Apartment Toilets,

Hi
I feel kind of bad writing this but I just need to get it out. I have been super patient with you over the last 7 months. I mean we have kind of been through a lot. I've spent a lot of hours throwing up in you, peeing in you, laying my tired head on you hoping that no more puke is coming up, contemplating how my life is going to change (don't judge me).  I appreciate all you have done for me and my little family! I truly do. 
But I'm a little angry with you right now. You see, the bigger this sweet little babe thats growing inside of me gets, the harder it is to poop. And quite frankly when the urge comes to poo I don't waste time, and you are suppose to be there ready to handle whatever is coming your way, whether big, little, hard, soft, smooth, or liquid.  Except you are not. You clog at the tiniest thing, you clog when I pee and use to much toilet paper, you flood water everywhere, you don't flush properly, you are acting a little ridiculous and you are making me never want to go to the bathroom again. EVER. I mean there are two of you here with me and I can't trust either one of you. I just want to go potty and not have to worry about cleaning up some big mess. I mean come on, it's not fair to me, and it's definitely not fair to my poor husband. So please, please, please, please shape up, do your job, stop making it so dang difficult to go to the bathroom (#1 or #2)! It's only going to get worse over the next two months, and if you can't live up to whats expected then I am refusing to use you, ever again. 

Your former friend,
Shelby

Third Trimester :)

Woooo we are finally in the third trimester!! That means we can start counting down right??? Hehe we are getting excited though, and hoping the next few months fly by!! 


How far along: 28.5 weeks!!!
Baby Size: Eggplant (same measurements as last time! along I'm convinced baby is taller than 14.8in)
Maternity Clothes: Not quite yet, although all my dresses and shirts are getting tighter and tighter and I'm thinking we may have to cave soon and go get a couple more maternity things! 
Sleep: Fluctuating! I still get up about every two hours to pee, and still sleep best from 6-9am. 
Movement: I've decided we have a super super mellow baby. Baby kicks and moves everyday, but there isn't much of a schedule to it. Sometimes we can go a whole afternoon and I won't feel anything.
Weight Gain: 34 lbs baby is growing growing and so am I! It's weird! 
Cravings: Nothing. Once again, I have to admit I'm kind of disappointed in the lack of cravings. However still drinking lots of milk!! :) 
Aversions: Still raw chicken! 
Best Moment this week: Baby has finally decided to make a presence so I actually look pregnant! :) hehe Plus we always love feeling baby move! :) 
What I'm feeling: Kind of a lot of emotions running through me! I think a lot of it has to do with the constant feeling of being tired. But I'm feeling excited, grateful, hopeful, encouraged, and kind of ready to meet this little one! Hehe. 
Weird Pregnancy Moment: I was trying to cut Tyler's hair the other day, and what's suppose to be about a 30 minute experience took just about 2 hours. It's quite an adventure trying to stand that long, and move around with this little belly! hehe but we finished!! :)
