27 weeks!

I cant believe Im already here. Sheeeshhh! Almost to my third trimester. I remember only being eight weeks pregnant looking at girls as far along as I am now thinking "I will NEVER get there! Its so far away!" But I did it and am VERY happy to only have 12 weeks left. Pregnancy is starting to get uncomfortable (not like it wasn't before). But even more now. I find that my back is always aching and im just tired.

Well lemmmmme tell you....that is a huge blessing becauseeeeeee...

finals are just coming to a close so I will be able to rest more soon and that will be great. As this semester is ending I've had a lot of time to reflect about the past few months and everything I was able to accomplish. I KNOW that I had heavenly help getting my butt out of bed every day at 6:30 for class and then going to school all day and THEN work after that until 6 at night. I would come home so exhausted but the Lord still made a way for me to be able to complete all of my homework and study for my classes (which were some pretty difficult ones this semester I might add).

My sweet husband has been so patient with me and has helped out so much. There were more than a few nights when dinner wasn't on the table or laundry wasn't done but he neverrr complained. Im so grateful for that. It feels good to know that I worked hard this semester and can have a break in the winter. I will only be taking 7 credits to finish up my degree so I will have plenty of time to get ready for the baby to come. Wahoo! Well we are off on monday to CALIFORNIA! Sunny...warm... ahhhhh I can't wait. Especially after today when it was only 11 degrees outside. #death. All of Danny's family will be in town so it will be one big party and we can't wait! I will try to update those three weeks but if not...this one will have to do for this month.
