the third trimester

Well, I've made it to the third trimester.  Other than these last two weeks, this pregnancy has gone by very fast for me.  I think we've just had a lot going on.  And come Sept. 5th, things will start to pick back up drastically.  That's the day we are closing on our new house, hopefully.  Then it will be a race to feel settled by the time this baby makes his or her appearance.

Week 27 Stats:

How big is baby: rutabaga??

Maternity clothes:  Definitely.  I can't wait for some cooler weather!  I picked up some awesome maternity jeans and can't wait to start wearing them.  Plus, I love getting to hide a little under layers.  Bring on the sweaters.

Sleep:  My mom's got a sweet memory foam mattress topper on our mattress at her house!  It has been wonderful for my hips.  I am sleeping so much better at this point in pregnancy than I did with the other two.  I'm wondering if it would be worth it to buy one for our mattress for the last two months.

Best moment this week:  Silas talking to the baby in my belly and then the baby in Daddy's belly!  He has no clue, but it's pretty sweet.

Movement:  Oh yeah!  Of course, always when I go to lay down.  I keep trying to catch it so Amos can feel the baby, but no luck yet.  He's not willing to wait around too long.

Food craving:  We've been eating at all our favorite Kansas places since being back.  Snow cones, donut and Mexican.  I don't know if that counts as cravings, but it sure has been tasty. 

Food aversions: I'm starting to get some heartburn mainly in the evenings, so I try not to eat too much then.

Gender: Still don't know.  We're on track to being completely surprised come November.

Labor signs: No actual labor signs, but I've been having a lot more tightening cramps then I did with the other two.  I guess my body's just practicing.

What I miss:  Energy.  It's starting to go.  Bring on the daily naps.

What I'm not loving:  My side pain is back.  I don't know what it is about my body, but once the baby gets a certain side it starts pressing on some nerve right under my right rib.  Luckily it's one of the those things that goes away right after birth.

What I'm looking forward to:  Being settled in our new house!  

What I'm loving:  All the movement, a constant reminder that baby's in there.

Milestones:  We did the glucose test this week.  Haven't heard if I passed yet, but not too worried about it.  We'll see.
