Boldly going into the third trimester! (27 weeks!!)

I've decided that there are way too many pictures of just me on this blog, and not enough of Nicholas! As it is hard to get him to pose for one on his own, I've been trying to catch him with the dogs or make him take some with me. All this "now we're in the third trimester" business is starting to make both of us realize how much there is to do before Baby makes her debut! I should start a list here, but it would be boring for everyone to read. Let it suffice to say that Nicholas has a "Honey, do.." list a mile long! In addition to all the work for, well, work.

We went to our first class last Thursday. It was entitled "Pregnancy in the Third Trimester," and was pretty informative regarding all the pre-term labor symptoms and what to watch out for. I found out that I have had a couple of contractions (I wondered what was happening!), but they are nothing to worry about as the uterus has to contract in order to grow. So, one contraction randomly here or there is no big deal, and they are more likely to be felt if I am dehydrated or stressed.



I am keeping up with yoga. I try to do it 2-3 days a week in the morning before work and then the hour and a half session on Saturday mornings at Yoga Bliss. Jennifer, the instructor, on hearing that I am keeping a blog suggested I do "dancer's pose" for a picture. The above is what I look like pregnant doing that! (Caveat on picture: the knob on the dresser is from the curtain rod. I took down the curtains this weekend and re-did them, adding a ruffle to the top and a stiffer backing. I have the third one yet to do, so the room is not entirely back in order. Also, Ringo's bed is at my foot because while he is still in his cast, he gets to sleep in our room so that he whines less.)



And sweet Ringo has his cast on for two more weeks. He is getting as fuzzy as a bear! Nicholas is being a good dad, though, and loving and petting and calming both Puck and Ringo.
