12 more weeks!

I feel like I have reached a milestone in my pregnacy. Last sat. marked 28 weeks, which means only 12 weeks left. It seems like the first 12 weeks of the pregnacy went by super fast...and I'm sure thats how the last 12 will go. I am feeling really good. I had an appt today with my OB and I am measuring about 29 centimeters. The heart beat was good. I was dreading the weigh in. Its been so hot that by the time Isaiah is done with his breakfast I have no desire to make us suffer in the heat taking a walk. At night I have been really good about doing some type of exercise. I am eating way better this time around (you learn the hard way). I have only had ice cream a couple of times this pregnacy. And as I have shared with some of you...I have cut out nuts (my poor bag of trail mix :( )! But my weight gain is now a private matter...so if you want to know numbers they will be disclosed at a later date...or just ask me...I'm pretty open about that kind of stuff.

Last week I went through all of Isaiah's baby clothes and threw out all of the stained ones. I can be quite the money saver when I want to be, and I really don't want to have to buy more baby clothes! I am somebody who needs to have everything done well in advance in order to put my mind at ease. These last couple of days I have been organizing all of Isaiah's toys and moving furniture (not the heavy stuff) around to make room for the baby. The thing that stresses me out the most is that we have so much stuff for the baby already, that I can't think of what additional things we really need. I'm sure once I get closer to my due date things are going to start popping up in my brain that we need to buy...and its going to be a dash to Target to get last minute essentials. I probably overthink it too much. I have been reading the "What to Expect" books for pregnancy and the first year again...and I start stressing even more thinking about all that I have forgotten about. I'm hoping it all comes back to me! Before I had Isaiah I was so scared because I had no idea what to expect. But now with the second I do remember some things that are coming my way...exhaustion, stress, blow-outs, leakage...and I think I still feel as nervous about having a newborn again!
