Rumblings and Showers

This weekend I got blessed with a small, but cute baby shower thrown for me by the JV and varsity girls water polo teams that I have had the honor to coach the last two years. The girls were so sweet, endearing and generous that I seriously cried when I opened up one of the gifts. We also played the usual games, had great conversation, and ate some wonderful lunch and dessert provided by one of the parents and her daughter. As a coach, it makes me feel that I must be doing something right by these girls and their families since they felt the need to throw Lincoln and I a shower.

One of the best gifts we got was a blue, aqua and fish blanket that one of the players mom actually made for Lincoln! He also got this enormous puppy dog that I would say is probably 4 feet big, which is awesome since Lincoln has an enormous 10' x 20' room and it filled one of the floor spaces perfectly! He is going to love climbing and taking naps on that sucker!

Thank you so much girls and their families!

Puppy Love number 2!

All the awesome swag that Lincoln got.

I have entered the beginning of week 28, which is the start of my third trimester! I feel great! 
Well, there are two new symptoms. The first involves heart burn and a lot of heart burn. I had never really suffered from heart burn before I was pregnant, and now if I eat a meal no matter what it is, I have to take a Gaviscon or Tums. With Thanksgiving next week, I am going to eat!! I will be taking a whole roll of Tums with me because no heartburn is going to stop my grubbin' on some turkey!

Another not so friendly symptom, is the amount of gas that pregnant ladies get. HOLY MOLY! This is a recent development as well, but I just blame Lincoln because he's a boy and that is what boys like to do.
My sister was cracking up this weekend when we were staying at our parents house and we had to share a room. Well,  I guess in my sleep Lincoln likes to make me make some music. How thrilling....
The next morning I woke up and she told me all about it, and she thought it was the funniest thing. I found it not as amusing....

As of right now, I have gained only 15 pounds which = awesomeness!! I feel as if I am mostly belly weight with the exception of my ass getting bigger. If I could choose any two parts of my body to get larger it would be my boobs and my ass, so I'll take it! (Plus, I know Nate doesn't mind that!)  

You all can be the judge of my expanding body:

Sheila just had to sneak in! 28 weeks!
