The Ups and Downs...

...of having a a trampoline in my stomach on which our daughter loves to jump on:

1) Can't find a good position to sleep in or a big enough bed
2) Back and butt pain (TMI!)
3) Feeling like she is jumping up and down on my cervix and about to drop out of me or on my bladder and making me feel like I need Depends!
4) Slow days and weeks (will I ever hit 30 weeks?)
5) Feeling her kick me (like a little 'good morning mommy' greeting every hour of the day)
6) Trav giving my back rubs, water and tissues for when my hormones get the best of me
7) An excuse for why my clothes don't fit!!!
8) Seeing Trav light up when he feels her kick and him trying to 'kick' (tap) her back.

So on we go with this adventure...

Renovations!

Well, not really. But we are changing things up at the Nonn condo for our arrival and it is a mess. Unfortunately, things are slow, as I go slow and get winded fast (those triathlete lungs are gone for now!) and Trav is sick.

We have the first toys for the baby compliments of Kameron. Trav's amazing nephew Kameron called Trav (through mommy Tanya) and told him that he had toys for the baby, whenever the baby came (this was before we were pregnant) that he wanted to give the baby. Him being so young, we were very touched by this. So when Kameron came to visit for a weekend this summer, he brought his presents and had lots of fun with us playing with big machines at Trav's work, going to Great America and doing some mini-golfing in Kenosha.
