the last little bit has been nuts. i am sporting a huuuuge belly now, and i feel it get bigger by the minute.   with the belly has come some fun new adjustments, like taking a full minute to get up off the couch, and waking up before i really want to to go to the bathroom. school has become more challenging the more uncomfortable i get. and i swear my body is like perfect clockwork - i've managed to start seeing "trimester symptoms" almost exactly when i'm entering/exiting a new trimester, to the T.  but enough about me.  this little guy is just a dream.  feeling him move and kick around in there has been so much fun.  on occasion it actually tickles, haha. such a weird feeling, but i wouldn't trade it for the world. people keep telling me how hard its going to be, and i know it'll be hard. i know waking up in the middle of the night to feed him is going to be exhausting. i know juggling work/school/baby is probably going to leave us pulling our hair out. i don't know exactly what to expect, in all honesty, because i know each babe is different. but to be able to start our family is completely worth it. we are so lucky to have this little guy join our family, and, just with everything else in life, the good will outweigh the bad, and we are going to be even happier than we are now. no pain, no gain, right?! right.

anyways, two more weeks of school left. finishing off this week, then next week is finals. i can't believe finals are already here, and we will be second years. insane! this year has flown by. so much to do this summer before little mister joins us, but i can't wait. first on the post-school checklist - spring clean! this house has been neglected long enough!
