28 weeks

Hello 3rd Trimester, Hello! Is this for real? Am I seriously in my 3rd & final trimester for a pregnancy I still can't believe is happening? Oh it's happening & there is definitely a bouncy kicky punchy little girl in there. I think for the first time I had my "in my ribs/hard to breathe" activity from her. It was weird because it felt like she was in my ribs but she was kicking/hitting my lower stomach. She must've been STRETCHED out & being a little brat. I'm guess all of my eating made her mighty full too & she needed a little stretching before beddy night time. She's more & more active. I feel her all throughout the day now which is awesome.

Baby Ticker News: One says she's 2 1/2 lbs & becaming cramped. I'll feel more jabs & kicks. (Yup!) It shows a pumpkin for her size. A pumpy-kin!!! Another shows an eggplant. Definitely not as fun as a pumpkin. Another ticker says she's 15 inches. Wowza, bigger & bigger she gets. Yes, I know that's how it happens but it's still surreal. That not only am I pregnant, what crazy!, but I am QUITE pregnant & have a 2.5 lb 15 inch (or getting close to those numbers) baby girl in my belly. Our baby girl! Our nameless baby girl! :)

Today is my baby shower and while I feel a little guilty because I know others who don't get to have one I am so excited! My sister seriously put in so much planning & work. There is a definite theme & I know the invites match the thank you cards & also the decorations for the shower. JUNGLE THEME! I think it might be fischer price jungle. I got a small glimpse of the cake yesterday & it's A-MAZING. I wasn't suppose to see but my dad came around the corner & didn't know it's a surprise to me. It's a 2 layer fondant covered cake. A zebra lower level & even better, a TIGER top level! I also saw there are fondant animals. I know there is a lion or I think there is. I saw/remember zebra stripes, tigers stripes, & a little lion. I know it's silly but it makes me so incredibly thankful that they got me a fancy fondant cake. I would've been fine & plenty happy with a Costco half sheet cake, I expected that kind of cake. But I've always wanted a fancy fondant cake & it's seriously the most amazing beautiful PERFECT cake for me/my shower! It has tiger stripes ya'll! Tiger Stripes! (I love tigers)And zebra stripes and jungle animals! Seriously perfect! Now I wish I would've bought my sister something to give to her at the end of the shower. I know this day is going to be so incredibly special because she's making it so. She's making sure it's the best baby shower ever. I can't believe the planning & thought she put into this! For her baby sister! :) Down to the homemade sugar scrub party favors & the game prizes which are in jungle animal patterned bags! Oh, I'll be wearing a tiger striped dress to the party too, courtesy of my sister. Even my dress matches the theme! :)

This pregnancy keeps getting better & better & I can't wait to meet our baby girl. She will be so loved & so so spoiled. 3 more months or so until she's in my arms & I will enjoy every second. Though I will admit I'll be mighty anxious once our house is filled with all the baby stuff & gifts from today. Mighty Anxious!!! :)
