The Campbells: The Third Trimester Begins...

Yep, that’s right, I’m officially in the third trimester! And if you look at Ella’s baby ticker at the top of the blog you can see we’re less than 90 days until our due date. Eeeek! I seriously can’t believe how fast it’s gone by. It seems ten times faster compared to when I was pregnant with Clara. I know the next two months will fly with it being the holidays and that freaks me out just a bit! But on the other hand I’m super excited to meet Ella.

The month of October was busy with lots of fun. We celebrated Nana’s 80th birthday with a surprise party weekend. It was exciting to have family in town from all around the country. We hung out at Galveston one day with my “Colorado Family” and all the kids LOVED it. Clara had a blast chasing and “feeding” the seagulls. Later in the month we took our first trip to Space Center Houston, which of course she loved as well. She pretty much loves any place she can run crazy and not look back. Clara's new thing this past month is making faces. These faces usually occur when she's annoyed, mad, shy, etc. One day we were in Hobby Lobby and a lady in line said hi to her. She gave her the meanest look ever (furrowed her brows and scrunched up her nose and mouth)!!! I didn’t know whether to laugh or feel really embarrassed. I think this might be something we’ll have to work on in the future. HAHA!

Something exciting for Jason this month is he spoke/taught/gave the sermon (whatever you want to call it) at the high school church service! He worked so hard preparing and did an awesome job! I am extremely proud of him for wanting to be challenged and try something he never thought he could do. It makes me feel so lucky to have a husband who wants to grow in spiritual leadership and take risks. You go honey! He is also getting in shape for his first race since surgery! Him and a couple guys are planning to do a 5k next month.

What I’ve been up to: chasing a 15 month old, growing a person inside me, trying to finish Ella’s room and enjoying working on orders for my ETSY shop. I have almost reached 400 sales and this month marks the one year anniversary of opening my shop! I will definitely miss it once I have to take “maternity leave.” But it will be well worth it….. :)
