96 days and kicking...

Well,  we reached double digits a couple days ago. Now we have just over three months left. Unbelievable!! I'm still feeling relatively good lately. I think I have averaged waking up at night to only about 6 times now. That is an improvement from the 1o-15 times I was doing. At least I count my sleep by how many hours I am in bed and not how many hours straight that I sleep. Otherwise, I would be sadly disappointed. Eric would probably say that I am pretty grumpy when it comes to going to bed. It's just that I can't get comfortable and I start whining. Anyhoo, what ya gonna do?
I have to check, but I think that next week I start my third trimester. That is pretty crazy to believe. 
I think we have come up with names for a boy and for a girl. We are still a little undecided about the the girl's middle name, but I think we have it down to two. We aren't keeping them secret, but I will probably wait to post them here until I am a little further along. It's funny because Eric came up with both of the first names and I came up with the middle names. 
Look at that, together we make a pretty good team.

until next time... I hope everyone is well,

almost down to double digits!!!!!

Every day I come here, I always check how many days are left, on the little pregnancy ticker, until my due date. I am at 104 days today. In less than a week, I will be at double digits. That is so hard to believe considering I started at somewhere around 250 I think. That makes me so excited. 
I've been feeling pretty good other than my sciatica giving me a run for my money lately. I think I am going to start going to a chiropractor nearby that specializes in pregnant women. That should help. Also, I think I have probably been waking up, on average, about 10 times a night. It's like I can never really get comfortable. I guess my body is getting me ready for having a newborn next to me... but hey, what ya gonna do?

My friend Marcella came over yesterday and took some preggo pics of me. It was a lot of fun and it will be even better once I get a little bigger. She did a really fabulous job. If anyone lives locally, and wants someone to do some pictures for them, I highly recommend her!! Here are a couple of them so far.





I guess that is all for now, no real new and exciting news. I guess I will keep this entry kinda short for once.
