Holy Moly the third trimester!

I can't believe I am in my third trimester, the final stretch, as in baby Carson soon!!! Yay!!! I actually have been so excited that the thought of actually HAVING the baby and labor and all that hasn't really crossed my mind much. I am thankful for drugs so that helps. It's going to happen whether I like or not is my attitude so I might as well not be anxious. And I don't want a C-section, but if I had to have one then so be it, I just want my baby! Maybe the HAVING the baby part will get more real when my doctor starts talking to me about it, I have still had the really easy doctors appts where there isn't much talking going on, just listening for the heartbeat and measuring the belly.

I have a feeling this trimester might go a little slower in the sense that I am starting to feel pregnant. I haven't been able to do my 30 minutes on my treadmill the last few days because of the lovely back pain that accompanies carrying a baby that weighs more now. I just kept going up on the incline and Eric kept telling me I need to do the opposite and go easier as I am pregnant and all. I was feeling so good I kept increasing the intensity, he ended up with the last laugh! I havn't used the treadmill in a few days now. I took Daisy on a walk yesterday and my left hip felt like it was out of socket. My tailbone kills me too, ouch!!! And I had my first night of feeling horrible from overdoing it. I just havn't had a lot of pregnancy related issues until now and so I realized the other night that after doing like 5 loads of laundry, cleaning out my bathroom cabinets, going to the gym, taking Daisy on a walk, grocery shopping and whatever else I did that day I went to bed miserable. I was actually so tired, but couldn't sleep because I had restless legs and I just hurt all over. In fact ever since then I have been feeling like I need to back off a little bit. It is really hard though because I feel like I have the energy to do so much and then my body reminds me I have a baby and I need to chill. It's weird not being able to do what you want though, I guess I am glad I am just now getting to this point though since I am on the home stretch. I am so thankful for all the pregnancy related symptoms, it means Carson is growing and if he is the reason I am uncomfortable than that is okay with me!!!!


In other news...my house is a disaster as Eric is laying tile throughout most of our house. He had to take out the existing tile, oh what a mess!!!!!!! He took it out last week, he would come home from work then start tearing it out and work until 1 or 2 in the morning. Then he was off this weekend and has been laying and making all the cuts. It is such a huge job! We are doing our laundry room/office, hallways, entry, kitchen. Then tomorrow he is off to work again and then he has his last class for this quarter. So he will resume laying the tile on Tues. after work. So my house is going to be a mess for a really long time. My house is so stinking dirty and stuff is everywhere, it is really hard to live in this mess. I can't cook, I can't clean, I can't do laundry, but I know it will be nice to have it all done before Carson gets here. I can also finally get our carpets cleaned when this is all done. Eric's back is killing him after tiling so I think now that we both have backs that kill us we need a couples massage after our house gets put back together and I clean it top to bottom, oh I am exhausted just thinking about the cleaning. Not to mention he just did 2 huge presentations for his class and a test tomorrow on top of the tile project he decided to do. Yes I think I will have to splurge and get a massage for us! I will showoff my handy husbands tile work once it is done. I am too tired and stressed so I am going to get a bath now instead of posting the pictures.
