The Home Stretch...

Well my third, and final, trimester has finally arrived - and at lightning speed.  As of today, only about 11 more weeks until we get to meet our little lady!  This trimester hasn't had the greatest start, and I have to frequently remind myself that it will all be worth it in the end.  Some new developments the past month: very little sleep every night due to my growing belly, terrible heartburn, Braxton Hicks, back pain, hip pain, knee pain, leg cramps, little elbows and knees in my ribcage...and the list goes on.  I'm only a few weeks into this last stretch, and I'm already looking for the finish line.  However, I'm sure the next few weeks will go by fast, and I'm so thankful that it has been smooth sailing so far.

You may think that these pictures are in the wrong order, but they are actually correct.  Cody and I both caught the flu last week, so I actually lost a few pounds in my 28th week.  I'm not too worried though - I'm sure I'll catch up in no time!

I feel like I am finally getting somewhere with the nursery.  I started working on a few little crafts for her room, and have a pretty detailed game plan for finishing the rest of it.  I can't wait to share the finished product!  But for now...here's a little sneak peak of what I've been working on:

Above is the color palette I chose for my paintings.

A little sneak peak of one the paintings I finished last week.  More to come soon!

I've had so much fun doing crafts for the nursery!  I can't wait to see it all come together in the end.  My baby shower is a week from today and I can't wait to see all my friends and family and celebrate our little girl!  Pictures to come!
