Third!

We are in the third trimester! It seems unreal, but it’s true. We will celebrate with fireworks and hot dogs, and oh, wait… that’s the FOURTH of July, not just a celebration for us! We will definitely celebrate at home though.

It’s hard to believe that we are in the final stretch. I vividly recall taking the pregnancy test in January (on Martin Luther King Day) and finding out how quickly our life was going to change, but it seemed so very far away and almost impossible that we would even make it to this point. But, here we are, and part of me wants to stop time because it doesn’t seem possible that we are almost ready to become parents.

We are registered for all our classes (childbirth, breastfeeding, infant/child CPR), have signed up for our hospital tour in late August and have started going to the doctor every two weeks. We have some amazing friends and family who have offered to throw us our baby showers, which will all take place in August, so that will be really nice. I am really excited to celebrate our little man’s arrival with our wonderful family and friends, and I am even more excited to meet him in late September.
