83 days to go...

i have officially entered the third trimester, and like clockwork i can already feel it. i am 2 days into it, and i am becoming more and more easily exhausted as the days pass.

some of my third trimester symptoms are: due to the heat (and drought) here in houston, i am banning myself from leaving our apartment during the hours of 7am and 8pm...(like that will happen). but this heat is absolutely miserable!! i USUALLY am one to withstand heat so well, but not this year. carrying baby boy thurman has made a huge difference on how i handle the heat...and it's not even august yet. : / 3rd trimester symptom # 2: the longer i am on my feet, the larger they become. they really are not too swollen yet, but i can feel it slowly coming on. i find myself most comfortable sitting in the rocking chair with my feet up. so that means...all the cleaning, cooking, laundry, and grocery shopping is up to patrick, right... 3rd trimester symptom # 3: there is not any room left for my bladder. during the day, i have to pee at least once an hour if not twice an hour. and at night i am up about every 2 hours making more room for baby t. (sorry for TMI) i don't even remember what it was like to sleep through the entire night. 3rd trimester symptom # 4: my body temperature is wayyy up. we sleep with an ocilating fan in our bedroom that practically blows on me, and i am still hot. poor patrick, on the other hand, is curled up in a ball as close to me as possisble absorbing all my heat because he is freezing.

i must say though that all of these symptoms that i have experienced and will continue to experience will be SO worth it...

only 83 more days...28 weeks
