99 days until D-Day!

So I am officially 26 weeks and 2 days pregnant. The most exciting part about that is that my countdown is now down to the double digits! 99 days until the due date! I am 2/3 of the way through this pregnancy and that is really hard to believe! 27 weeks will mark the beginning of the final trimester - so 5 days remaining in the bliss of the 2nd trimester. If I am blessed like my mother, I could possibly deliver a week or two early - but I am not holding my breath. :-) Of course we want little AC to cook as long as possible and be healthy and happy when she makes her debut! Everything is still going very well, but I am starting to feel some pregnancy discomforts settling in. I consider myself lucky since so far everything has gone off without a hitch. Everyone has warned me that 30 weeks+ is a little uncomfortable, so I guess I am easing my way toward the 30 week mark. :-) If I am on my feet for a long time I can feel them swelling, much less aching! Sleeping is becoming increasingly difficult and I am sure that will just get worse as time progresses. Other than that, I feel pretty good, but IT IS HOT! Doc appt is on the 14th and that is when we have the icky glucose screening. Will keep you all posted! I just hope that the test is negative and that we continue to have a healthy pregnancy. Cross your fingers and say a little prayer for us!

JUST SO YOU KNOW... It is shocking to me how random strangers will comment on your pregnancy... here are some examples to make you giggle. When I was having a pedicure on Friday, the lady assisting me said that my "belly was not big enough for me to be six months pregnant." Then two days later a woman making my salad at Chipotle asked when my baby was due and was shocked when I said October. Her reply was "my baby is due in October too! You are a lot bigger than me." I swear I could not tell she was even pregnant! Disgusting I tell ya. That same day at the pool a stranger said, "Are you sure you aren't having twins? You must have a big baby in there!" People are intolerably brave. The more pregnant I get, the more brave I get - so these people should be warned! :-) That goes for you too Uncle Chris(Please note my brother's comment when he asks "what did you do, shove all the baby shower loot up your shirt?")

Anyhow - we enjoyed the holiday weekend. I was a bridesmaid in my dear friend, Kristen's wedding. It was so much fun to be a part of her day and spend time with my TU girls. As much fun as I had, I spent the entire day on Sunday recovering and sleeping and extended my weekend by taking Monday off. Brad took me, Jessica and Katie Minor to the lake on Monday - which was fun and very relaxing. I love to be in the water and it seems that Anna Claire does as well! She is really moving and packing quite a punch! This past week I have felt her from the outside with my hands a few times! I keep trying to catch Brad at the right moment, but no luck so far. They say it is common around 28 weeks, so we are getting there!
