3rd Trimester is here ALREADY???

So I'm 28 weeks which means I'm in my 3rd trimester! Now I start going to the doctor every 2weeks which is just crazy!!! I can't believe how time is really flying with Cooper.  I remember with J just counting down each day and how drawn out it seemed but this time I don't even have time to count at all. 


With the holidays over (which were fabulous) now we really gotta get our booties in gear and get J's new room ready and him moved. We are hoping to do this by the end of January so he'll have plenty of time to adjust before Cooper takes over his jungle.  We also did register at babies r us and I plan to get around to target in the next week or so.  There really isn't much we NEED luckily but there are some things that would help out for sure.  


I had my appointment the thursday after Christmas and I had blood drawn for my glucose test which I think tests for many things but mainly gestational diabetes.  I had to drink  this orange sugary drink which most people think it gross but I really don't mind it.  It tastes like a flat Sunkist, which of course, isnt great but it wasn't making me gag or anything.  The hardest part was chugging it all within 5 minutes; now that made it worse for sure.  With J all my tests came back fine so I anticipate no problems here either.  The only issues I'm having right now is some strain on the muscles just under my belly leading down to my legs. I think its called round ligament pain. My doc. said as long as there is no bleeding or fever, etc. it's pretty normal. Just all those muscles stretching out.  I don't remember it being so bad so often with J but it could be worse.  We took J to the appointment so Dr.Hinds let us see Cooper on the ultrasound machine! J thought that was cool and what was even better was Cooper was moving his mouth like crazy and sticking his tongue in and out. He was even blinking which was pretty cool to see and we told J he was saying hi =).  So...I realize the picture I'm about to share seems a little creepy, its not so bad in person but I still think its a great face shot.  I've also posted my belly pics which most of you have seen on facebook but I had to share on here too.  

Cooper says, "Happy New Year Everyone!"

J loves Cooper!

So, I'm guessing unless my test results come back really bad, I wont have anymore info until  next week when I go back.  I also don't think I'll be getting any more pics of Cooper until he arrives =/ but Ill be sure to share my growing belly a few weeks at a time.  I wish I could get a video of it moving but the video never does it justice.  Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season as we did and wish for a great 2012 year!!!
