third trimester, what?!

   I am officially 2/3 of the way there, woohoo! I'm getting more excited with each passing day and cannot wait for the next 2 months to fly by! 

   This month seems to be very busy, and I'm not sure why. I've had a few appointments, but no more than usual. And have been working a lot, but again, not more than I normally do. I think my brain is on overload trying to prepare for everything. We're planning Thanksgiving dinner, preparing for our dad and brother to stay the weekend, looking forward to Christmas and Addy's birthday, just got maternity pictures, are preparing for a baby, trying to pay off our rings so we can be married before she arrives, planning a real wedding, and so much more!

   Our pictures were such a blast yesterday! We went to Lake Wilderness, and it's so beautiful there! Thank you, God, for the gorgeous sunshine we experienced~ Although it was freezing cold (literally; there was frost on the ground), we had tons of fun. Our photographer was great, too. So great, in fact, that we asked her to shoot our wedding (: I think we also found a wedding venue, so now we can actually plan! There's a lodge at Lake Wilderness, which I guess is a very popular wedding venue (I can see why!). 


   Abby is moving so much these days! I get excited to meet her every time she's awake [: Addy is super excited to have a baby "sister" too; I can't believe her level of comprehension! I really want to crochet her a blanket (like I planned to for Addy), so that she can have it during her hospital stay; if they'll allow it. I also really miss painting, and want to make something for her! There's so much to do, and so little time! Is this what every expectant mom feels like?? Ha!

   We're still unpacking our room, even though we've been here a month already (boy does time fly!). I hung up Abby's clothes in our closet, and it just makes everything seem so real! I love living with Addy, and she seems to melt my heart more and more every day <3 
   Today, I'm bored at home with little motivation to do anything. I really want to go to the gym (I went 4 times last week!), but I feel so lazy today. Hopefully I find motivation somewhere today (; It feels great to be working out again, and I know I'm doing myself and Abby a big favor. I'm 7 months pregnant, and have only gained 5 pounds, so I must be doing something right (; 

   Today is a beautiful day, and I hope to enjoy every moment of it <3 I pray for health, strength, encouragement, and serenity~
