Well it's officially begun, the final trimester. As of Tuesday I will have 11 weeks left, that is if he comes on his due date which I hear they very seldom do. I can't say that we're more ready today then we were 28 weeks ago. Nathan is doing great. He's always had a pretty great head on his shoulders. I on the other hand, I'm becoming more and more of an emotional wreck every day. I could chose to blame it on the hormones but I think it's much more than that.
Our lives will NEVER be the same. We will no longer be just Nathan and Libby. We'll be Nathan, Libby, and little dude Jones. There will be another person to worry about, another person to care for, another person to love. Our budget looks good, our plans for my working future seems great, the house is looking great but it's just a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm terrified. But my way of coping is to READ MORE BOOKS. So we are reading all the parenting books we can get our hands on.
The Doctor said that starting now I should only feel jabs every now and again and I shouldn't feel many huge movements because he doesn't have much space. Well... Not this little guy! I think he has the energy of his dad because about every two hours I feel like I just got on one of those elevator rollercoaster rides where you lose your stomach... Flips, turns, kicks, jabs. The fun never stops :) I actually enjoy it. It means he's doing well but sometimes it stops me in my tracks.
Here are some more pictures of me, getting larger. Don't worry. Two and a half more months of growth is expected! I officially can't see my feet when I'm standing up straight and looking down. I like to keep moving so I know they're there.

If you could remember please pray for us. Pray for health and safety. Pray that our friends will know what to do with us once this baby is born. Without family here it gets a little scary to think about. Without our friends around we would be pretty lonely. So pray that those relationships continue to grow and flourish no matter the changes that are taking place.
We are flying to Oregon on Thursday to celebrate the fourth of July in Seaside. There is no other place we'd rather be than in Seaside on the fourth. It's amazing! If you've never been, some year you'll have to join us.
Love you all a lot!
