Week 28

I have officially entered the third trimester!! Nothing really eventful happened this week. Bo keeps growing and kicking like crazy. We are trying not to look forward too much and begin counting down the days but it is hard to not think toward the future and stay in the present. We have so much to get done before he gets here. It has been quite rainy here and everything is muddy. I will be happy when cold and rain are officially over. Thankfully, we are starting to have some nice days and many more are on the horizon. I can't wait until it is warm all the time and there is less rain. We have lots to do outside.
I have started to notice a slight change in my energy level. Some days it is really low and other days I just want to do everything. It is also getting more difficult to bend down and get back up again. I have been trying to help Dean outside picking up sticks and cleaning up the woods, but I had to quit the stick gathering because it was difficult and there are just so many sticks. Now I just rake them into a pile. The people at work are starting to notice more and more my belly sticking out. I will not be upset when people stop talking about my stomach and how much it is growing. Unfortunately, I still have quite a while before that happens. We are thankful every day that Bo is staying healthy and I am not having any problems. My biggest problem now is finding more maternity clothes to accommodate my growing size. I do not like shopping and I haven't found many shirts that I even like. So.....I may just start wearing Dean's shirts instead. Only 11 weeks to go! The picture quality this week is awful. Sorry. I think you still get the effect. Blame Dean, he takes the pictures.
