Pregnancy Update

I haven't done a pregnancy update in a while.  I am now 26 1/2 weeks pregnant.  That means I only have 13 1/2 weeks left to go...95 days to be exact!  That is CRAZY to me!  That doesn't seem that long!  I feel like it really has flown by.  I think that working, building a house and being in young women's has helped everything fly by.  I am always doing something for one of those things, so I don't have time to think about the length of my pregnancy until someone points out how long it has been.  The other day, my friend Jannie said she felt like I have been pregnant forever.  I was a bit surprised because I don't even feel like it has been that long.  When I asked why, she said it's because she has only known me as a pregnant lady and she feels like she has known me a while.  That was crazy for me to think about.  I can't wait for her to meet non-pregnant Amber!

I do have to admit though, I think I am a pretty good pregnant woman (knock on wood).  I did throw up at the beginning, but I have friends that threw up their entire pregnancy.  I go through ups and downs of being tired, but I keep moving along fine.  It may just be tiredness from teaching kindergarten again full time.  I haven't had any food aversions or cravings (except when I pretend just so that Travis will give in and get it for me).  I have been able to continue working out without a problem (besides frequent bathroom breaks).  My migraines have improved dramatically and I don't think I have been emotional or moody.  I am pretty lucky I guess!

So, at 26+ weeks, I am feeling great!  I haven't had time to stress about the fact that nothing is ready for the baby room.  I have gotten lots of flowers for her hair and some outfits for her to grow into.  We are pretty sure that we have picked a name (but we aren't telling! hehe)  And I can't wait for Christmas break to just chill and bum around in my sweats! 

I will post a picture in a couple weeks when I am officially in my 3rd trimester.  (WHAT?!?!  Third-trimester in 2 weeks!  Where is the time going?!?!)  My belly has definitely popped!
