Wow! It is exactly 3 months until my due date! I cant believe how fast its been going. I remember writing about how slow everything was moving in the summer, but I knew that things would progress as the semester went on. And it has! So my first baby shower was this past weekend and it was sooo much fun! The decorations were so cute and bright and about 30 people showed up! We had a really good crowd and a really good time. Everyone loved Taylor! I am so glad he got to go and his mom was there too! We also took some maternity and family pictures which was fun. It was an overall really good weekend. We just keep getting busier and busier though! Especially as this semester is coming to an end. We only have one more month of school and we are packing in everything into our tight shcedules. We will be in Port Neches every weekend for the rest of the month, so a lot of driving coming up! This past Monday we went and toured the hospital. It was really nice and everything is becoming more real. They have a lot of good amenities at the hospital too so thats always a good thing. I am looking forward to it!
Other than that I have been feeling really good. My second trimester flew by so fast and I felt great. The only thing that is really bothering me now is my lower back and my boobs. Sleeping with the boppy pillow really does help though. I have to prop up my belly so it doesnt weigh down. It is still weird to have a big belly and it jusy keeps getting bigger! The picture in the pink shirt is 25 weeks and the blue shirt is 26 weeks. I am definitely showing and definitely feeling uberly pregnant. Landon moves a lot, especially in the morning. He likes to push up toward the top of my belly and it puts pressure on my stomach. Its quite uncomfortable sometimes. Today it has been chilly outside so i have my jacket on, then I have to carry my backpack and my purse. Its getting a little uncomfortable. I feel like a luggage carrier. Putting on socks and bending over is getting pretty tough too. I am a lot slower at getting dressed and walking now. Taylor has been getting cravings!! The other day we had sushi, then he wanted a moo bar, then lemon cookies, then cheese and wheat thins then he ate a pickle.. All in one night! I am not even getting cravings like that. Ive been wanting salad, sandwiches and soups lately. Also, fruit and water with lemon. OMG I love my water with lemon! I havent had any super weird cravings though... I outgrew my pickle phase. I wonder if Ill get any other cravings. For right now I just get random cravings, mostly for sweets.
I cant wait to see what this next and final trimester brings. Hopefully it will be just as good as the last one and not as bad as the first one. I feel like I have been pregnant forever now! It still seems like a ways away but life just keeps getting busier and crazier. In a good way of coarse. Taylor and I are really happy and doing well. Talking about marriage soon! I still dont know when he will propose but he has ideas and has already talked to my family! eek! I still cant believe how everything has turned out. I guess when you know, you know. I never thought I would feel this way but it is a great feeling. Dating life is finally over, and I found someone so amazing. Our love story is crazy but always full of love. I cant wait for all of the exciting things to come. Taylor has been reading to Landon and I every night. It is so sweet. I am so happy with him <3
Until next time,
Alyssa, Landon and Taylor
