Entering the third trimester!

Less than three months to go!  Second trimester will be dearly missed, as this month brings on some thrilling new changes, including back pain, heartburn, and starting to actually look fat rather than just cute and pregnant.  However, I'm getting more and more excited to meet Cameron and more and more impatient.

These next three months are going to be busy as we prepare for Cammie's arrival.  We already have the gist of the nursery done (see pic below!), topped off with new windows, ceiling fan, crown molding, and baseboards (thanks Bob, Avril, and Dad!).  And watching Paul, Adam, and Mike put a crib together was just plain adorable.  Baby's dresser is already completely full with clothes (you're awesome Molly!!).  So we're feeling pretty well-prepared as of now.  I even got some first-hand diaper changing experience with my neighbor's kids and had a near anxiety attack watching their messy production known as "lunchtime".  One thing I'll have to get over is my need for everything to be neat, controlled, and well, perfect.  Less than three months and those days will be long gone!

Everything else in our personal life is moving along as well.  Mike managed to miraculously pass his French exam, which means he'll finish his degree in only a few weeks!  Couldn't ask for better timing.  I have state testing coming up this week, and then the rest of my year should finish out pretty smoothly.  We're headed to Palm Springs next weekend for one last vacation together, and we're taking some baby classes in early June.  We'll be plenty busy and Cameron will be here before we know it!

Ok, I know some of you have been asking for belly pics, so I'll suck up my pride and post some.  Much to Rachel M.'s dismay, they're not bikini pictures (sorry - I just couldn't muster up the courage to post that on the Internet!).
