27 weeks

27 Weeks (written 8/8/2013)

 

How far along? 27 Weeks

Maternity clothes? Mixing maternity and non-maternity although most of my non-maternity shirts are getting too short to wear anymore.

Sleep? Still ok. Aspen’s been doing amazing sleeping all night in her big girl bed and that helps a lot.  

Best moment in the last 3 weeks? Nothing to do with the baby, but Aspen’s 3^rd birthday. We had such a great weekend! Also had another healthy report at the dr although little missy was moving around so much she couldn’t get an actual bpm reading on her heartbeat. haha

Miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach and being able to get up without effort

Movement? Yes, she’s a very active little girl, especially when I’m sitting at my desk trying to focus! ;)

Food cravings? Goodcents sandwiches, fruit, anything cold

Anything making you queasy/sick? My prenatals some nights

Gender? GIRL! We are so excited to welcome another little princess into our family.

Labor Signs? Nope- tentatively scheduled for the 1^st of November.

Symptoms? Not really too much, I’ve been feeling pretty good these last couple weeks! My ever growing belly (btw people when you ask when someone is due and they tell you a time 3 months off- it’s not very nice to react like “oh really…guess you still have awhile huh?” as if my stomach looks like I could pop anyday)

Belly button in or out? In and getting flatter.

Wedding rings on or off? On- hoping to get to leave them on the whole time this time as well, but we’ll see.

Happy or moody? Happy!

Looking forward to? Third trimester b/c it means she’s almost here! J Also, Aspen starts soccer practice this week and going back to gymnastics in September after a summer break. Love to see her playing sports!  Flying up north to see Nicole and go dress shopping with her for her wedding in another month.

Daddy moment?   Still love it when he gets to feel her move. He’s taken over so much for me with Aspen, from bathtime to tucking her in and I couldn’t appreciate it more. There comes a point in the day where I just need to CRASH on the couch!

Big Sister moment? We tried on some clothes that were getting too small and I told her she couldn’t wear them b/c they were getting too small and her response was “let’s go give them to the baby.” I couldn’t be more proud of how excited she seems to become a big sis soon! She just got her ears pierced for her birthday and afterwards she said “when the baby turns 3, I will go with her to get her sparkly earrings and hold her hands.” Melt.my. heart.
