- but overall 3rd trimester wasn't too bad! I still played volleyball at the church at 7 months, football in the yard as all time QB weeks before I was due walks with the dog as often as possible, and I was on my feet all the time working close to 30 hrs a week (+/-)
- I was really surprised how little my back hurt for how many issues I have with my lower back
-I wore my wedding ring all the way up to 2-3 weeks before baby came
-Feet didnt swell much (i heard if you wore tennis shoes or tight shoes it helped to keep them from expanding too much - and thats what i had to wear for work anyways so idk if its true but no one wants these large feet of mine to get any bigger! especially me!!)
-chopped my hair off a about a month before baby- i know most peole do this after.... but when am I most people? It needed to go!
-Stopped working on Oct 13th and had a fun lil i hop dinner after work and spent almost all of my days off cleaning one room a day at our house not only for nesting.. but just because it hadn’t been cleaned really well in who knows how long!!
-Had two amazing baby showers! One hosted at the Jambors house and put together by my best friends and sister( thanks brooke, michelle, whitney,and tiffany!) I got so many diapers and cute clothes and a really cool firetruck toy! The second shower was held at Mercys house and had so many people from my ward come and got plenty of cute clothes, bath time essentials, and an amazing pack n play! Everyone also gave some good baby advice when I opened their presents
- I bought few acctual maternity clothes but used my belly bands ALLL the time! (still do!) My mom has always told me i had a lot of clothes that could work as maternity shirts.
-Had fun going to an Ole Miss vs BYU game and a Whitewater High school game
-Had some fun with halloween parties of course! (just days before lil Troy came!)
-stretch marks started to show even with all my efforts to fight them off
-I could feel troy really moving! Pete loved falling asleep with his hand on my belly feeling lil troy swimmin around. He also would get hiccups all the time in my belly. Luckily I have quite a long torso and didnt feel like my lungs were collapsing or my ribs were going to break.
-Still ate the same as I always have.. not much changed or any crazy cravings still (pizza and breadsticks always smelled so yummy and once you smell it ya gotta have some!)
-but overall... just getting bigger and bigger! (still stayed in my goal of under Pete’s weight! no matter how hard he tried to feed me bacon and sausage almost every morning that sweet man of mine trying to fatten me up! he’s so great and would even help my large whale self get out of bed at times:)
