Sometimes I feel like my life is so busy, but when I look back on the past few weeks I realize that life really has not been that busy at all. The only thing that has been going on for the past 4 weeks is studying for my big test that I had to take in order to recieve my license to be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. Althought that was only one thing, I probably put about 4 to 5 hours daily into studying for the test. With all that said, I feel like this past trimester has gone by WAY too fast.
I feel like yesterday I was just entering into my 2nd trimester and now here I am in the last week of it. I kept reading from websites, and books and articles that it is a good time to just enjoy pregnancy in your second trimester because when the 3rd hits, you become tired, you hurt more, you are uncomfortable, you can not sleep well etc. All the pregnancy symptoms start to show up but before they show up you were supposed to enjoy the pregnancy before semester 3 rolls around and kicks your butt. Well I guess I tried to enjoy it but I was more stressed out about the test that was looming over my head.
Today my friends I have taken that dreadful test and have dedicated my next couple weeks to enjoying my pregnancy before it gets too hot outside and before I start to feel too many unpleasant symptoms. I am so happy to have it over with.
On the bright side of pregnancy, this past weekend I went to gilbert and spent time with my family and enjoyed a baby showe that my little sister planned for me. It was such a fun baby shower and I enjoyed the company of all my friends who were able to show up. It would not have been a celebration without them. :) Plus they all gave me the cutest presents. I can not wait to play dress up on my baby with all the cute clothes they bought me and read her the books I got, and let her play with all the fun toys. I have to say I was a bit spoiled to recieve so many gifts. (or should I say Jocelyn is a little spoiled...already) Here are some pics of the shower.
I loved the color scheme Tori had picked out and all her cute ideas. It was a "things that pop" baby shower. For example because my stomach is poping out, she incorporated pop corn, popcicles, lollipops, bubble gum, rice crispy treats, baloons etc. Such a cute idea I thought.
It was such a great weekend being home with the family. Amanda was even able to fly from Utah to come to the shower. It was great. Here is my week 23 and week 27 pictures side by side as requested by Amanda. (warning the stomach has been growing significantly) She said that she likes to compare the pics and hated having to scroll to the previous post to compare so here you go Amanda and friends. And here goes my 3rd trimester. Hopefully I do not melt or go completely insane from the heat.
