Starting the Third Trimester!

So as of May 3rd Tyler and I are in our third trimester! Hard to believe really, but very exciting nonetheless. Sunday we went online to 'youtube' a 28 week ultrasound and somehow we ventured into the childbirth videos (don't do it, even though it may seem like it would be interesting) and eventually stumbled upon Bill Cosby's Natural Childbirth skit. Wow, we laughed for a good solid 20 minutes.
Unfortunately/Fortunately for me the whole experienced has forced me to REALLY start thinking about the delivery of this little boy. I've thought about it before, but a combo of Bill Cosby, the wreched childbirth videos on youtube, and entering into the third trimester has filled my "blank thought times" with the idea of pushing out a little baby. And actually, to my surprise, each time I think of it I don't get the HOLY CRAP feeling, but instead a very deep down excited/nervous feeling comes across me. Similar to the way I felt before basketball games or golf tournaments, but even greater. I've decided that it's the best blessing God gives a woman about their baby's birth, otherwise I'm affraid I would be running quickly in the opposite direction (like that would help).
The following pictures are of the various showers I have attended over the past three weeks. First my friend from high school, Devyn Ferrari/Galmore's shower for her twin boys, then my good friend Meridith Smith for her baby boy due a week after our little one. Then just a few Big Kara pictures to give you a true idea of the size of this belly. Enjoy!

Holy cow! You have done some SERIOUS growing in the three weeks since I saw you last, sister! That is so awesome. Grow baby, grow baby, grow baby!

P.S. When I say "holy cow" I mean it in the strictly exclamatory sense. I am not making any reference to your body whatsoever. :)
