Third Trimester!

It's hard to believe it, but I am now in my third trimester. The pregnancy has flown by, but that is probably because Adam and I have been so busy with work, doctors appointments and getting the house projects done before baby arrives. With the main kitchen renovation done, we are working on just a few last projects, including reupholstering our kitchen chairs, painting our interior walls and ordering carpet. Our goal is to have it all done by the end of December, just in case Baby Shaffer decides to make an early appearance!

Last week I had my glucose test, but haven't found out the results from that yet. I am very hopeful, though, that everything is OK. At my next ultrasound, they will start using the fetal monitor to check my contractions and the baby's heartbeat. It seems like the baby will be here before we know it!

We are also looking forward to our baby shower next weekend, which will be hosted by our close family and friends. I can't wait to see everyone and finally get to reveal our baby's gender. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate keeping secrets so I am counting down the days until I can tell everyone!

I have still been feeling pretty well. I am definitely feeling more tired now that I'm in the third trimester and have had some back pain, but overall things are going great! Nesting mode is in full effect too as I have been cleaning and cooking like crazy!
