Hello 3rd Trimester!

Weeks 27 and 28

How far along?: 29 weeks today

Total weight gain: Same as last time - 16 pounds

How big is baby?: Week 27: Cauliflower; Week 28: Iceburg Lettuce; Week 29: Butternut Squash

Sleep?: Still sleeping okay, although it can be hard to fall asleep when I feel he's moving around in there. It's also tough to fall back to sleep after I doze off on the couch.

Best moment?: I went to a friends bachelorette party (dinner/sleepover) on Saturday night and it was awesome seeing how excited the girls were feeling him move.

Movement?: Now it's more like tsunami waves in my stomach more than kicks, although those jabs still happen pretty often. It's crazy when he shifts position and my stomach is completely uneven.

Other symptoms: Nothing too painful but after a trip to the dentist I was informed I have pregnancy gingivitis. I think it's mild because my teeth don't bleed when I brush them, but apparantely my gums are a little inflamed in certain spots. I also failed my 1 hour glucose test so I'm going tomorrow for the 3 hour. Fingers and toes crossed I don't have gestational diabetes. I feel like it's been one issue after the other with these stupid tests.

Food cravings?: None

Food aversions: None

Labor signs?: None

Belly button in or out?: Still flat and I think it's slowly becoming an outie

What I miss: On Friday there were a few things I could have gone for after talking to people around the office: sushi, alcohol and hot yoga. It was a Friday during Lent so people had sushi all over the place, several of which were the spicy tuna rolls I love. That marked tease #1. Tease #2 was talking to someone about how great hot yoga is.. I'm counting down the months till I can take a class again. Our office did a happy hour in honor of National Margarita Day.. after the week I had I could totally have gone for a margarita, and they definitely didn't have any virgins.

Milestones: Starting the 3rd Trimester and getting the nursery set up. The crib, dresser and glider are all in and Rob did a great job getting the room ready. Now it's just a matter of slowly getting the stuff we need before he arrives!

Weeks 25 and 26

How far along?: Kicking off 27 weeks today!

Total weight gain: 16 pounds as of this morning, which marked the start of week 27

How big is baby?: Week 25: zucchini/canteloupe; Week 26: eggplant; Week 27: cauliflower

Sleep?: Still getting my sleep and starting to get tired early again.. probably because I'm approaching the third trimester

Best moment?: Getting to check in on my little guy during a sonogram and seeing that everything is growing healthy and on track (in fact, they said he's about 9 days ahead of schedule so we'll see if he ends up coming early). At 26 weeks 3 days he was already 2.2 and apparantely hamming it up in there. He seems to look like Rob.. bald and his mouth was open the entire time :)

Movement?: Still loving every time he moves!. I think I'm really cherishing every kick, punch and sumersault since I know we only have a few months left of this special time together. It's crazy how he really boogies when he wants to and is quiet other times. Like when I first felt the kicks, now I like laying down with my shirt up a little so I can see when he moves in the belly. So cool and such a little miracle!

Other symptoms: Still just the occasional heartburn

Food cravings?: Although I like a cold glass of milk, there are still no weird or intense cravings to report.. boo!

Food aversions: Still none

Labor signs?: None

Belly button in or out?: My innie is definitely gone and I'm afraid to say it, but I'm pretty sure that by the end I'll have an outie for the first time in my life.

What I miss: That disposable income would still be nice lol

Milestones: Rob got promoted to Area Director of Sales (I'm calling him ADOS) and we both turned 30. That's enough of a milestone for me!

Here's some shots from our 26 week sonogram:
