1 Trimester to go

I have 12 weeks and 5 days until my due date.  That's not very long! 

I go back and forth between wanting the time to speed by so I can stop having to deal with all the not-so-fun things that come with being pregnant and then wishing there was more time on that count down clock.  We feel like there is so much we need to do and I don't feel ready yet to be a parent. 

I am tired.  All the time.  I enjoy weekends because I usually get a nap in during the day which is nice.  I've noticed the comments at work are either about #1 - reminding me that I get to go through a hot yucky summer before my due date or #2 - I look tired.  It's so hard to sleep!  I try and be a good host to the baby and sleep on my side but I wake up with the shoulder I'm sleeping on hurting.  That or my thigh muscles in my right leg have been really really sore.  I think I've figured out that it's because of the pregnancy pillow I'm placing inbetween my legs (as suggested by the "books").  However if I don't use the pillow I find that I wake up with a backache.  I can't win.  :)

Something that has made me laugh is that I've noticed a couple times in the last week I've hit (softly - don't worry) my belly on a door when I'm opening/closing it or on chair as I walk by.  I'm clearly not used to having a belly all the way out in space like this belly is.  My pregnant belly is now so big that when I try to wear some of my "normal" clothes, I have to change back out of them because it just doesn't work anymore.

I've had a little more heartburn but still nothing too bad, maybe 3 tums a week.  My feet are now swelling.  I found my first stretch marks on my belly. 

The baby is moving a lot!  I feel him the most in the later evening and in the morning if I lay in bed after I am awake. 

The dilemma of the week is baby bedding.  We actually found some we liked at a store here in Frisco but it's more than we want to spend.  I struggle to find anything I like.  I feel like everything either has animals on it or cars/planes/boats and I'm just not a fan.
