Hello 3rd trimester!!

28 weeks = 7 months = 3rd trimester!

How in the world did we get here so fast?  It's already July.  My belly is growing so much.  Carly is a little acrobat in my tummy, all the time!

Here it is...28 weeks, 4 days pregnant.

I had to invest in a pregnancy support belt.  My back is KILLING me!  I'm very nervous about the last few weeks.  Some days I can't even last sitting at my desk until 4:30PM....and starting new week I'm supposed to be working four 10 hour days....yeah, we'll see how that works out....

I had an appointment last week.  The doctor measured my belly for the first time.  It's growing right on schedule....I measured just under 28cm....I was 27w5d at that point.  So, great!  My blood pressure was great.  She didn't comment about my weight.  I'll take that as a good sign.  I'm not positive, but I think I'm up about 14-15 lbs.  I'm happy with that.  15 lbs in 28 weeks.  Let's hope I can keep it going at this rate!

What else....oh, obviously we've announced her name will be Carly.  I'm loving it more and more every day!  We've just officially decided that her middle name will be May.  Carly May.  Daddy is very proud that he thought of it :o)

We've done a little more work in her room.  Jon hung the pictures today.

And her butterfly mobile.  I chose to hang it over the changing pad to keep her distracted during diaper changes :o)  I've known several mommies who've had difficulty with diaper changes due to squirmy babies...hopefully this will help!

And I got a dollhouse bookcase on clearance from Target.  So cute!

It's coming together so perfectly!  We still need closet doors....and of course, the baby!  Soon enough :o)

And for no other reason except I love this wall....here's another picture :o)

I'm getting very anxious....I can't wait to meet you baby girl!
