3rd Trimester SAY WHAT

Time. is. flying.  I swear women say all of the time that "you're pregnant for 9 months and you feel every minute of it" but for me, it's not the case.  I am floored at the fact there's only 91 days to go until she arrives (hopefully).  Amazed that she's over a foot long and weighs over 2 pounds.  Less worried knowing that if she were to be born right now (Ryan hates when I say that), she would have a 90% chance of survival.

We have our first hospital class tomorrow, Newborn Basics, and I'm taking a cloth diapering class on Wednesday to see if it's something I really want to commit to.  Next week is the hospital tour and then in January we'll do some birthing classes and breastfeeding classes! Whew!

In a little over 3 weeks we will close on our house and we'll be moving the day after.  Ryan has a class to teach that day so we're getting movers and I'll be handling everything by myself - I've already taken the day after work.

Right before closing and moving,my good friends are throwing a baby shower for Everleigh!  I'm so excited for her to get spoiled and show her pictures of everyone who loves her.

Samson wanted in this week! Also, can someone PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this annoying color background on the survey I do every week? 

Stretch marks: Nothing new still.  My skin's limits will be tested these last 12 weeks! 
Sleep: I've had great sleep this week.  I'm in bed by 10 and I don't wake up until around 4 or so to pee.  Other than that, I haven't even really been tossing and turning that much.  Also, I think my body has adjusted to this belly and I don't feel as full or uncoordinated as I have in past weeks.  Maybe this is the calm before the storm, but as of now, I'm a fan. 
Best moment of this week: Passing my glucose screen!  Also, picking out the nursery color in the new house (Sherwin Williams Innocence) and finding wall art that will be PERFECT for the nursery.  This is exactly what I had in mind when I was thinking world/travel theme. I realize that it'll be a long time before Everleigh understands what this means, but I just want her to know from the beginning of her life that the world has so much to offer and to live it up every step of the way.  Here's what I ordered off of Etsy:

Miss anything: The feeling of not having too much to do.  From here on out, I'm pretty sure life will be crazy for the rest of our lives.  Mark it on your calendars - the weekend of 11/15 was the last weekend of the Hibbard's lives where I could take naps, Ryan could play his video games, and we could all around, not have that many worries, before moving, holidays & Everleigh's arrival.
Movement: I feel like her movements have become more scheduled.  I read that from now on she has more of a sleep schedule, but she's most active in the morning and at bedtime.  Her kicks are still all over the place, although I feel either punches or kicks really low the past couple of weeks.  
Food cravings: Nope.  The other day I had a quick craving for Chipotle (when I say quick, I mean I gave it a quick thought and it sounded good), but then when I got there I wasn't too excited.  One bite into my burrito, it tasted like the most amazing thing in the world and I ate more than half (usually I can barely finish a quarter of one).  So, what I'm saying is, I don't really know what I want until I have it. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! 
Labor signs: No.  I still get a super tight belly at least once a day, and I'm assuming my body is doing something, so we'll chalk it up as painless contractions.  
Belly button in or out: Flat...won't be too long til she pops 
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, but Ryan has told me several times that I'm being really mean.   I think it's mainly because we've been working with a lot of sales people throughout buying this house, and there are some things some reps have done that I just find completely unacceptable. They said you're more judgmental when you're working with someone in your same field, and that is 100% true.  Just say what you mean and mean what you say, people! 
Looking forward to: Classes this week :)
