Third trimester!

Sorry for the delay in posting! I had a check-up yesterday, and the doctor said Harris is doing great. We also had the glucose test, which I'll find out the results on Friday. We are now in our 28th week, which means last trimester. I'll now start going for appointments every two weeks instead of once a month. I meant to post a picture last night, but we had a work dinner for Hut, and the power was off when we returned home. Luckily, not for long, as the temps yesterday were over 100. So I'll work to remember to do so tonight.

Harris and I have been busy the past few weekends cheering our USTA team on in the play-offs. First we made it through the qualifying tournament, then had Citys this past weekend. The team did great, though we came in second in our division and won't be going forward this year. I was tempted to play, having not been in Citys before, but decided against it with the heat and not having played for two weeks. So the 4th of July weekend matches may have been our last matches for a while. :-(

Hut, Harris and I are excited to be heading to Atlanta this weekend to see family and friends. My only trip of the year thus far. The temps will be lower than 100, but with the humidity there, we'll see which is worse.

Still waiting on the baby furniture to come in. Should be all in the first week of August, so not too far off! Can't wait to see the room all put together. The cats are enjoying all the extra space right now, and Laney really has taken to the glider.

I visited my friend Natalie's new baby (6 weeks) on Sunday. She let me feed and burp him, which is good practice. He's very sweet and cuddly. He was getting a little fussy, so I gave him back, and it hit me that soon everyone will be giving the fussy baby back to me! Uh oh! So I'm panicking a little about the baby at home time. I'm reading up on after birth activities, like bathing and breastfeeding, and hopefully will be more reassured after our class at the end of August. I rather like to keep Harris where he is now- he's fed, can sleep whenever, and is safe. And I'm feeling great and mostly sleeping through the night, so it's a good time right now. But the doctor didn't really take to that idea, so I guess we'll just have to progress. Hut is now talking to the baby more, even telling him stories last night. I think Harris liked it, as he pushed to the front, and when Hut was done, he moved back. He still calms down when Hut puts his hand on my belly, so Hut doesn't quite get the full effect of his movements now. The other night I swear Harris was practicing for a tap or drum recital! And the other day at work, he was pushing on my right side, like he was trying to get to my back. I reminded him that it was a dead end, and he'll just have to stay in his little swimming pool as it is right now (I still kind of think of him as a little tadpole doing laps). That's about it for now.
