Hitting the 3rd Trimester

I really can not believe this pregnancy is trailing by.  I just knew that it would go at a snail's pace since I have longed for a child so long.  I'm almost positive it will in the upcoming weeks.  Some of the more unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy have begun (i.e. backpain, sleepless nights, constipation, heartburn....).  I do feel better than I have in my entire life.  I feel I am more pleasant to be around and I generally am in a good mood the majority of the day.  Oh and why did i ever smoke????  I can smell someone that smokes from a mile away now and even grip to my brother when he hugs and kisses me that he stinks....LOL!  My mom just laughs at me.....typical ex-smoker comments, she says:)  I pray when this boy comes that I don't get too stressed out to go back to the nasty habit.  Don't get me wrong, sometimes when I am around a friend that is smoking (esp in the wonderful, cool fall-like weather we are having) and having a drink, it really makes me crave one but I know one will lead to two then it will be every day and so on.  Okay so why did I get on the tobacco story???  Guess I am just proud of myself that I have been keeping myself so healthy for this baby Boy....yes, we still have not committed on a name.  I did get my bedding in this week and I absolutely LOVE it.  We were not going to go w/ a them - just colors but ending up buying an animal them bedding set.  It is precious and as soon as we have the nursery done, I will post pics.  We are waiting on the bed, which is good because we need to paint the bedroom first. I passed my glucose test and so far, I have gained 24 lbs.  I am almost 28 wks and hope I dont go over 35 lbs.  Everything on this body has expanded and when I am not wearing a bra, I put my sports bra on because I refuse to the "twins" loose - they are all over the place if let out...ha! So that is my update for now.  Hope all my DS friends are enjoying fall - it's my fav time of the year and even better this year!!!! Love to all,Shannon
