1-4-08: 3rd Trimester

3rd trimester: For those of you in the third trimester what has been your favorite part about being pregnant?

1. I have enjoyed all the movement this time. Gavin is a very active baby and that is just the best thing! I also like my pregnant body so that is fun. It's been fun sharing it with Garrison too. He talks to Gavin (Gabin is the way he says it!) and kisses my belly. That is fun.

2. There's not a lot about being pg I like, except the end result! I guess feeling the kicks... but not in my ribs ;-)

3. I loved being pregnant. It was easy for me. We'll see how it is with a toddler.

4. I love feeling all the movement. She's pretty active & it's fun to feel her kick and twist.

5. I love the whole Gaia-esque part of being pregnant. It was an entirely ethereal and yet grounding experience for me the first time around.

6. Since I am in my 3rd Trimester, I think my favorite part about being pregnant has been the preparation for the new baby. I have really enjoyed getting the nursery ready, picking out colors for the rooms, getting the right furniture & accessories. Oh, and this may sound materialistic, but getting all the cool presents and new stuff for the baby from others. I cannot wait for Emmalee to come so I can take pictures galore for her scrapbook and start using my Cricut.

7. Favorite part... hummm... I think the movement. Carrying my baby around all day... knowing that he's there growing inside me is a pretty amazing feeling!

8. Feeling her move has been the best thing ever. She's very active and her movements are getting stronger all the time. I don't even mind when she keeps me awake with her late night kicks. I love it!

9. Yay! I just entered the 3rd tri. I have loved almost everything about being pg. I love what it means to me and my family, I love thinking about being a parent, I love the feeling of having her inside of me, I love planning for her to come and getting ready for her. I am a big-time nurturer so I feel like I have been waiting for her my whole life.
