Ok, time seriously flies the second time around! How can I possibly already be into the third tri? Amazing! It seems so fitting that I started the third trimester over Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer. I have always wanted to be pregnant through the summer. Most people would probably find that crazy, but I have always thought that summer maternity wear is so cute, and to not have to work and just enjoy every moment (and rest) sounds awesome! Two more weeks of work, and then I can relax! We had a fairly quiet weekend, despite it being a three-day weekend. The weather up here in the foothills was not great, but we did enjoy some time in Denver today. Noah picked out a new hat for the summer, and then we met a friend for some gelato at the coffee shop she and her husband own. Yum! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend as well. Thank you to all of those who serve(d) our country!

How Big Is Baby:
According to BabyCenter, baby weighs around 2 pounds, is about 14.5 inches from
head to toe, and is about the size of a head of cauliflower.
Sex: Team
Green til the end, but I almost always refer to baby as a he.
Symptoms: The
linea nigra is darkening ever so slowly. I still feel like it’s lighter and
less obvious than with Noah by this point. I have also seen some swelling in my
ankles off and on, usually worse on the left side. It seems like the more
supportive my shoes, the less swelling I see. The other thing I have started to
notice is waking up with tingly hands in the morning. I think it happens more
often when I wake up on my right side. I don’t remember this ever happening
with Noah.
Food
Cravings/Aversions: I could live off of ice cream. I think about it way too
often. A new ice cream shop is supposed to open up in our town this week, and I
am so excited about it. It’s kind of
pathetic.
Belly Button:
I think it’s poking out more and more.
Sleep: I am so
lucky in this department so far! Other than the tingly hands, I am sleeping
like a rock.
Stretch Marks:
Nope.
Weight Gain:
No idea.
Maternity Clothes:
Yes, always. I am looking forward to wearing the dresses I have bought once
school is out. The amount of cleavage or shoulder I would be exposing with them is not work
appropriate. (The dresses are not obscene by any means, but I think cleavage of
any sort is not very appropriate in a school.)
Movement: Baby
has been a little more active recently. He’s gotta be getting bigger, because I’ve
started to feel him pushing up against my ribs already. It’s such a weird but
amazing feeling.
What I Miss:
Again, easily being able to pick up Noah, especially when he’s upset about
something and asks me to. It’s also getting hard to maneuver the laundry
basket.
What I’m Looking
Forward To: The end of the school year. Nine more days!!
Best Moment This
Week: The three-day weekend. Duh.
Milestones:
Third Trimester! 13 weeks to go!
The Bump:

WOO-HOO for 3T!!! You look great and it's wonderful that you are sleeping well. Hope those last 9 days of school fly by and you get some good R&R in before LO's arrival =)
