January Goings-On

Aaron keeps plodding away on our outdoor kitchen/pantry addition.  He's almost ready to put Tyvek on the roof & then it's on to the roofing tin. 

We're loving the way it looks!

Meanwhile, I'm continuing to grow outward!  It's crazy to look back at pictures from Christmas & see how much this baby bump has popped out.

I'm now in my 3rd trimester.  I'm still feeling really good; although, it's starting to be a bit more difficult to find comfortable sitting & sleeping positions (and it ain't over yet!!).  I can usually tweak a few things here and there (add pillows, etc.) and do alright.  Other than that, I have no complaints.  Appointments with the midwife have shown a healthy & normal pregnancy.  I'm starting to feel little legs and arms scrape against the inside of my belly.  The hiccups I've been feeling that started out as gentle, rhytmic flutters are getting stronger.

I'm also busy reading about natural childbirth & the Bradley method--getting my mind & body prepared for probably the hardest thing I've ever done.

I've registered for the onesies, footies, swaddlers, cloth diapers & covers, stroller, high-chair & everything else I've been told to get by 3, 4, 5 and 6x mommies.  Since we're bringing this little one into our small living space, my main question to these moms has been, "what do I REALLY need?"

Life is exciting and full, and we're having a blast!
