I am finally in the home stretch! I am 28 weeks along now and just a couple more months and I am almost there. It has gone by super fast and can't believe the time is nearing. I am already feeling large and can only imagine how much bigger I will get. Apparently I am carrying her all in the front, about 19 pounds gained total so far and all of it in the front, so needless to say my back has been killing me. I can only sit up in a chair for about 2 hours before it starts killing me and have to lay down for a break, so Todd and I went to Babies R Us and bought a special maternity back brace that helps support the bump. I have to say it has been working wonders. I also saw a Chiropractor who gave me some good tips and exercises to help as well.
And because I am in my 3rd trimester, my energy is very low so I had my last hip hop dance class on Monday until after the baby is born :( I just can't keep up and get tired quickly, even though I was trying to do it low impact. So now I try to keep my energy level up by doing yoga and light weights as well as some walking and elliptical, as they say your energy gets zapped in this trimester.
As I have grown out of some of my clothes, I went to Northpark to find some cute long and big shirts at my favorite store, Forever 21 XXI this past weekend. I came across their new children's department and bought our baby girl her first Forever 21 shirt ever! As most people that know me well know that I have an obsession with the store and have been a loyal shopper there since 1997 in Austin, TX. Of course the shirt is like a 3T but I figured she could wear it as a sleep shirt sooner. She will look adorable in her hip new shirt.
