27 weeks

I’m officially in my 3rd trimester now! Once again, where has time gone!? The number of weeks left is dwindling rapidly and I’ll soon be in weekly numbers with a 3 in front! We’ve been working like crazy getting the nursery done. And I’d say it’s about 90% complete. We’re just waiting for the glider to get here so that we can put it where it needs to go, adjust the crib over left or right depending on it’s placement, hang some pictures on the wall and hang the mobile from the ceiling. Then I think it will be virtually finished. I’m so excited about how it’s turning out and so proud of my hubby for all his handy work he’s done in there. From assembling furniture to building cabinets, hanging shelves and putting up crown molding, he’s definitely done a lot to help make the room look as amazing as it looks!

How far along: 27 weeks

Next appointment: August 24th.. it’ll be a check up as well as a follow up growth ultrasound! they think my little man is measuring on the large side and they want to see just how big he is.. fine by me.. I don’t mind getting to see him again!

Any new aches/pains: the past few days I’ve had issues with acid reflux.. so I started taking heartburn medicine and propping myself up when I sleep.. which is also making it so I can sleep on my back without concern of cutting off air supply.. woohoo!

Maternity clothes: definitely wearing them pretty much 24/7.. just wishing that I had more room left in my scrubs so that I’m not having to squeeze into my old ones that no longer fit properly, or having to buy new ones

Sleep: I’m getting up at least once to go to the bathroom.. not too bad most nights..

Best moment this week: nothing really stands out yet

Movement: all over the place.. he is so active now and it’s not just in my lower abdomen anymore.. he loves hanging out in my rib cage and kicking all over the place.. last night at work though was definitely uncomfortable because he was taking up my whole lower abdomen and wouldn’t move so I felt VERY uncomfortable for a few hours

Food cravings: not much.. still like cereal.. waffles are pretty good too..

Belly button: it’s still there.. I’m not entirely convinced that  it’s going to pop, but Gage sure is!

What I miss: fitting into my scrubs!

What I’m looking forward to this week: getting to the end of it! this is my weekend to work and I never look forward to it!

Weekly wisdom: I don’t really have any wisdom.. just a thought that I ponder.. I’m wondering if the ball will eventually drop and this pregnancy will slow WAY down and become unbearably long??

13 more weeks to go!
