7 month bump

     Wow the first 2 trimesters have flown by. Each pregnancy has gone by so much faster than the last. However, I believe that for absolutely nobody can the third trimester go by quickly. I've just now started experiencing the woes of pregnancy (which I am thankful haven't started till now) with leg cramps, back cramps, swelling, slow moving, waddling, strange veins showing up, redness, breathing heavy, my bladder protesting, etc. It is the perfect time for Greg to come home soon. I am thankful that we decided to do our cross country move in my second trimester rather than third because I'm not nearly as good of a travel companion now as I was 2 months ago. We are pretty set on a name which will be revealed to all on the day of the birth.  We have discovered that most of our baby gear lasted well between 2 kids and 2 moves but didn't hold on for the third kid and the cross country move. For Ellie, I literally didn't have to buy anything because she was born the same month as Ava which worked out great for maternity clothes for me and most clothes for Ellie.  Jen has been so generous in letting me borrow her maternity clothes for this baby so I have really saved a huge expense there. We got new furniture for Teeny Grump which we will be assembling next week while setting up his room. I am leaning towards a Safari themed room with light blue, light green, and tan as the colors. I'm combing pinterest for neat ideas and of course I have my Martha Stewart best friend Jen down the road to help me create things.
      The only major change I think I will be doing in caring for Teeny Grump will be making his baby food. At a baby shower last year we played a game where we tasted baby food and had to guess which one it was. I almost lost my lunch gagging at how terrible the baby food tasted! I feel terrible that I had my kids eat that.  Maybe that is why they aren't picky now with food because at least it is better than the baby food I shoved down their throats for 6 months! Jen swears by the baby breeza food processor system to make Ainsley's baby food so I think we will invest in that down the road.
