The Pregnancy Paradox

So every once in a while I open up my pregnancy books (instead of my music books) and check out what's happening with our little girl. Today I was surprised to discover that 27 weeks marks the beginning of my 3rd trimester. What?! Where did the 2nd trimester go? Pregnancy really is a paradox. How can time fly and stand still at the same time? My due date seems so far off, but at the same time, I know it's just around the corner. It's so very surreal! I think the trick is to keep busy so time seems to fly by. Andrew and I each have our own way of staying busy, which you can see by the photos below.

Pregnancy Stats: 27 Weeks
Mood: I'm feeling a peace that only God can provide.
Health: No complaints unless I forget to eat.
Food: Trying to eat 90-100 grams of protein a day & 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies...is carrot cake a vegetable?
Energy: What's that again?

Summer began with me moving my office to our bonus room. Andrew captured my progress and, um, procrastination.



Here is the final result of my office transformation. The next room on our list is the nursery. We're waiting on the furniture before we begin.



While I was in Sacramento Andrew began a 1,000 piece Mickey Mouse Mosaic puzzle. Each puzzle piece has an image from a Disney movie that creates the overall picture of Mickey Mouse.

The completed puzzle...now back in its box. So sad...

  1. That puzzle is AWESOME!

    Carrot cake is totally a veggie.

  2. WOOHOO! 90 DAYS!

    I have to explain that the pregnancy ticker actually shows an umbilical cord from time to time, which is probably the "protrusion" you saw. Or it was a flash (pun slightly intended) of boy parts - who knows? We'll be finding out soon!
