Getting close to the 3rd Trimester

Its been almost a month since I last posted and a lot of mostly nothing has happened. I am 8 days away from being in my 3rd trimester, which means I will just keep getting bigger AND that the baby will be here in 3 months or less. I have switched hospitals because its just not practical to drive 3 hours when your in labor, and I am now seeing Dr. Borowski in Fergus Falls. We are still living with my sister-in-law and I am still without a job. However, Nic did get the Assistant Manager position at Advance Auto Parts and has been working there for close to a month now, I think he really enjoys it and its nice that he can come home for lunches because everything in Fergus is only 5 minutes away - maybe 10 if you live out on the opposite edge of town from Walmart and you need to make a Walmart run. Its a funny concept.
The little baby just keeps growing. He rarely moves when I am up and around but as soon as I lay down to read or take a nap or go to bed he immediately starts kicking as hard as he can. My belly feels like it can't stretch anymore (if it feels like that now I am in for a loooong 3rd trimester!!) and my belly button looks like its about to pop out which disturbs me to no end!
I still haven't succumbed to the pregnancy pants but I definitely need to - I might as well not even bother zipping my pants anymore thats how big I am. I went to Motherhood Maternity the other day but I couldn't bring myself to try on anything. Partially because I don't feel like I am properly big yet and partially because that store is so cramped I get overwhelmed by all of the clothes crammed into that small space and can't focus on anything. And I am so cheap I will only buy things on clearance for $3 and the summer clothes haven't really hit the clearance yet. I am guessing that in the next couple of weeks I will have no choice but to bite the bullet.
