I have 2 more days until I officially enter the "home stretch" (third and FINAL trimester) of my pregnancy. I have been told that the last 3 months go by the slowest and I'm starting to understand why. My baby boy is getting heavier and carrying him is becoming very uncomfortable. I hate to walk right now. I don't even really walk.. I waddle. It takes forever for me to get anywhere and it HURTS.

The baby is becoming very active. I thought he moved around a lot before but not like this! What I was experiencing a month ago were amateur kicks, they were what you could compare to popcorn popping or the feeling of butterflies. His movements recently have been stronger and little bit freaky at times. He kicks and stretches and pushes and rolls.. not just that but he also gets the hiccups which is almost annoying because he seems to only get them at night when I'm trying to sleep. Hiccups feel weird. I don't even know how to really explain them. I guess the closest thing I could compare them to is the feeling of a morse code in your belly. If that even makes sense.

My belly is getting so big. When I sit down it feels like a watermelon between my legs and I can't see my crotch anymore. The worst part about my belly growing is that it's starting to get really itchy. I try to NOT scratch it but sometimes I can't help it! So far I have no stretch marks *knocks on wood* except for a couple small ones on the back of my thigh. I'm definitely not in the clear yet because I still have another 3 months to go.

I miss Dennis. I'm going through so many changes and I feel like he is missing out on so much. I'm glad I will be back in Orlando by week 31 so he can experience the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy with me. I'm so happy that he will be there with me when I give birth. He's going to be a great Daddy, I just know it.
