I am posting this video, with no blog entry so everyone can see it. It was absolutely amazing! Baby girl Hickey is in a posterior breach position now(meaning feet are down, and her spine is against my stomach, so she is facing my back and cuddled right in there). She had her feet in her mouth and on her head most of the video!

Three Trimesters....and You're Out!
I'm officially in my third trimester and 27 weeks! I can't believe how the time has flown! Thirteen more weeks (give or take) and our little Baby H will be in our arms. It's so exciting to think that she can hear and react to things going on around me and her eyes are now open. It somehow makes her seem so much more real to me.
I think I'm really going to miss being pregnant, though, and I'm already sad that this will be over in a few short months - it's such a unique and amazing experience. Not to get all goopy and sentimental, (oh what the hell, I'll just blame it on the hormones!) but I really love having a baby inside me, especially right now when I'm still relatively comfortable, Baby H is moving a lot, and she is still safe and secure in my belly. I'm still nervous about being a mom - there just seems to be so much that I don't know. I have these dreams about her every night, and the birthing process, those get quite interesting. Even though my life has definitely changed since I got pregnant, they are all minor changes such as what food I can eat, what clothes I can wear, and in what position I can sleep. But all in all, it has been the best detox and healthiest I have lived since before college for sure! A little human who is more-or-less constantly latched onto me is a whole other story full of midnight feedings, mountains of diapers, and a million things that can go wrong. I'm just starting to get used to this pregnancy thing and I don't know if I'm ready for the next phase!
This has been the first week where going to the gym isnt a walk in the park, she is starting to move rather than sleep while Im at the gym, and she is sitting so slow. Sometime it feels like I have a foot dangling out of me.
This past weekend we went to the Columbia Island Dock party and that was a blast, great to see all my old friends, hang out with the family, and watch everyone get drunk. Really enjoyed watching dad dive in the Potomac at the marina for Vals Sunglasses he knocked off.
Other than that, no new news, other than....are you ready........Alexandra is in love!!!! She has found "the one" This is it, and she swears they will be engaged by the end of the year---we cant wait! Never thought this day would come. Maybe she will give Baby H a cousin to play with sooner than I ever dreamed of!

25 weeks
I havent been very good at posting on here, but wanted everyone to be filled in on my recent doctors appointment and what has been going on. Everything looks great, and I still feel amazing! I have gained 3 lbs since the last Doctors appointment, 4 weeks ago. I have gained 9 lbs total. My blood pressure was lower than I ever remember it 102/68--wow, how nice, and they say it will continue to get lower. The baby is growing perfectly. She is kicking like crazy and very busy inthe morning and evening. Throughout the day it is more flutters. Such a surreal feeling. She is breached, but plenty of time for that to change!
3 weeks from tomorrow we have Cameron Slaughter and Candice Kyzers wedding to attend in Charleston, SC. I am in it, should be interesting, hopefully I wont be too much bigger. We cant wait!
4 weeks from tomorrow, we will be on our babymoon/2nd anniversary trip/last trip before the baby comes to the beautiful island of St. Thomas.
And.....5 weeks from tomorrow we will be at the Ritz Carlton in South Beach, for my cousin Amys wedding.
Then I have my first baby shower the following weekend, at the Sheas house, put on by Kathy, Colleen, Christina and Kellie. The invitations were gorgeous ladies.
