Third Trimester!

Hello again! Well, I am officially 2 weeks into my third trimester. I can't believe it! I have been feeling pretty good overall and as my doctor stated, I'm "cruising through this pregnancy!" I am starting to get a little tired again, and the baby is still dancing on my poor bladder :) And BOO for heartburn, it really is getting to be a nuisance! But I am loving being pregnant and can really start to notice my belly change. It still kind of looks the same to me, but I know it's gotten bigger in the past 4 weeks. The little peanut is moving around all the time and I love every minute of his kicks! He gets the hiccups sometimes at night, which makes me laugh, and he has woken me up from my sleep a couple times with his fancy footwork. It really is amazing to feel him move around, and I feel like he has such a distinct personality already. He LOVES to move around when I'm sitting at the computer, and becomes really active between 9 and 11 a.m. every Thursday morning. Yes, you all read that correctly, and let me explain. Usually he is quiet and sleeping (I assume) during the morning hours. However, I am involved with a bible study group on Thursdays and every single class he spends those two hours kicking and rolling all around! He already loves Jesus, and boy does he let me know it! And he already likes to eat a lot just like his daddy. Anyone who knows Jason knows he can put food away like it's nobody's business. And, because I am carrying his hungry little babe, I have to eat ALL the time! Seriously, I cannot stop eating. If there is food around, you will find me there. I eat, and then an hour later I'm looking around for food again. None of my other friends who've had babies admitted to being this hungry, so I am chalking it up to having a baby who just takes after his hungry daddy.
In other baby news, Grandma Cindy threw us a "virtual baby shower" this past Sunday! Since we couldn't travel to North Carolina, she invited all her friends to her house and we both had our web cams on to participate in the fun! As the guests arrived, we got to say hello and mingle with them via our web cam. The best part of the shower was seeing Grandma Zook's reaction to opening all of the cute baby gifts! Jackson got so many beautiful clothes and gifts...he is one blessed baby for sure. And my parents are throwing us a shower in December and our wonderful Kentucky friends will be hosting a couple's shower here for us in January. Let me just say, we are beyond grateful to have our family and friends share in our excitement. This little boy is already so loved, and I personally feel he is the luckiest baby in the world to have so much love around him!
