Third trimester

I've officially entered the 3rd trimester! This is actually a picture from last Monday (26 weeks) but you can tell that I've got quite the belly now. To be honest, I didn't realize just how pregnant I look until I saw this photo! I've been feeling pretty good, up until now. I didn't realize how lucky I was during the 2nd trimester; I felt wonderful essentially all the time! Now I'm struggling with fatigue (again), heartburn, difficulty breathing, leg cramps, etc. And just think...13 weeks to go! The baby is moving quite a bit now. Her kicks and punches are now visible on the outside of my stomach. She's definitely getting stronger! We reserved a day care spot on Friday (July 13). We were originally looking into a home provider, but didn't have any luck. Most didn't have the hours we need (basically from 7-6), several didn't have any openings for next April (Fabricio will be home with the baby after I go back to work in January,) and the one lady we found ended up being kind of a flake (cancelled our appt and then the morning of our rescheduled appt she wrote and said she already filled the spot. So, we went with a child care center in Eden Prairie. The hours are perfect (6:30-6:30), they will hold our spot until we decide to start, and we don't have to pay anything before we start. Some places make you start paying once the spot opens up even if you don't use it, otherwise you loose your spot. The staff was really nice, lots of spaces/rooms for infants, and we just felt really comfortable there. I feel so much better having that taken care of!! Now it's just time to focus on stuff for baby at home!
