the third trimester

It's hard to believe we're in the third tri-mester of this pregnancy. This little girl will be here before we know it, and the life we currently feel is busier than ever, will be taken to a whole other level. We've finally started to prepare for her (and the guests who will come to help us with her and Hudson when she arrives). Since her room was already painted purple (not a color we would pick), we decided to paint a stripe down the middle to "tone it down" but still keep it on the girly side. We found a dresser on Craigs list that we (Andy) will refinish and paint white, and i found the rug on Overstock on a great sale. So it's a big step forward from the empty room that was there just a couple weeks ago. We'll see how it turns out when we're done - i'm looking for some flower decals to put on the wall, and think i'm almost ready to purchase some that both Andy and I like. Good times. With our luck the little girl will never use the room, and will just share with Hudson. But there will still be a nice guest room! :)

We're still thinking of names, and are definitely open to suggestions! There are a few we like, but nothing that stands out to me like Hudson did. Hopefully that name will show up soon! Maybe we should start asking Hudson what her name should be...
In the mean time i am feeling more pregnant than ever, and since she is sitting lower than Hudson i'm already having a hard time getting my shoes on and off. Don't even ask me about my toe nails. She is moving quite a bit, enough that i can clearly tell when she is awake or asleep. I'm sure she enjoys all the chatter Hudson brings the darkness she's in! I think he is grasping more and more that he will be getting  a sister (maybe), but i know he will be a great big brother no matter what. And Andy's heart already has a soft spot for her, so i'll be shocked if she's not a daddy's girl within 24 hours of being born. :)
