Welcome to the 3rd Trimester!

I can't believe it - the 3rd trimester is upon us and it's a short 2.5 months until the due date!  The 2nd trimester flew by....and my belly grew with it.

We had a doctor's appointment at 28 weeks and it went great.  We got another Ultrasound and to see our little baby girl.  I had to take a Glucose test so I had to drink pure sugar right before the ultrasound and man was she bouncing around!  We didn't get a very good picture from the ultrasound but it was so good getting to see her again.  We could already see that she's starting to get some chubby cheeks.  The doctor also had some great news that my low lying placenta had resolved itself and moved up to a 'safe' range.  That means that I can deliver naturally and not have to have a C-section (which I would have had to have if the placenta wouldn't have moved up).  That was a huge sigh of relief and our prayers were answered.

We also had our first baby shower on the 12th and it was perfect.  I feel so fortunate to have such amazing friends and family!  It was a beautiful summer day at the McClain household and the house was decorated in pink to the nines.  My wonderful husband did what he does best and made sure the house was in tip-top shape for the event. 
If the gifts at the first shower have any precedence on how this little girl is going to be then we're in trouble - we will be raising a future Carrie Bradshaw in training.  She got her first two pairs of shoes - Ugg's and some Chuck Taylors!!!  Both Pink!  But they are SO darn cute (pictures below). 

I'm 29 weeks today and feeling great.  I'm starting to get a little achy and my legs get tired after walking or standing a lot.  My belly is pretty big and it's hard to believe it still has 2 1/2 months to grow!  We go back next week for a 3D ultrasound (free from our OB - yay).  I will be sure to post pictures right away :)
