Hello Third Trimester! Week 27 is done!

Happy Third Trimester!!!

My mornings: I still hate mornings. This is never going to change. 

My nights: I bought a new body pillow which has helped some with hip pain overnight.  

How far along: 27 weeks, 7 days. The 3rd and final trimester is officially here tomorrow. 

How big is baby: Baby He-Man is 14.5 inches and over 2 pounds. I can't believe he is already that big. It seems like yesterday that I was blogging about him being measured ONLY in ounces. 

Weight:

Starting weight: 130

Total weight gain: 25

This week: 155

How I’m changing: My belly seems to have grown a little more this week. I feel like it has stretched upward which is making breathing a little more difficult. I think I read somewhere that this is the time for another good growth spurt so I'm expecting for the belly to really start expanding. From my perspective, I feel like the belly is growing up and to the sides more than out front, so it's feeling a lot rounder but not sticking out any further. But then when I compare photos from a couple weeks ago, I can really tell a difference. 

What I miss: Warm weather.

Symptoms: Headaches. Gas. Heartburn. Constant peeing.

Cravings: Nothing out of the ordinary, but I did send an officer for doughnuts last week. I don't really get intense cravings, but the joy I get from eating food is insane. Food tastes so much better now. 

Food Aversions: Nothing.

Highlights this week: It's been a big week for things getting done. I ordered some baby legs for FREE plus the cost of shipping plus our Pack n Play was delivered on Wednesday. DH is finished with painting the nursery and we had the crib delivered and set up yesterday. Let me rephrase that. I was working while DH set up the crib. :) 

On Thursday, I went to Target and finished registering. I did my other registries completely online and I had no idea that registering in person could be so much fun. I went by myself since DH was working and it was nice to walk around just clicking on everything. CLICK ALL THE THINGS!!!!

Maternity clothes: Yep. Couldn't live without them. 

Stretch marks: I have them on both butt cheeks but none on my belly or thighs.

Sleep: I wish. That's all.  

Movement: I feel him all the time. Apple juice and orange juice really wake him up and get him bouncing. I think he is still partially transverse. I can feel him kicking on my upper left side and punching on my lower right side. I am only guessing that he is sort of head down. I could be completely wrong about this. It seems like the movement on my left side is stronger and more distinct which I imagine is his legs. Plus, I feel a rolling sensation in the lower area which I imagine is his head moving. When he's really active, I love to sit and watch my belly move. I haven't seen a body part stick out yet like some people have told me to expect but when I see movement, it's like my stomach is having a seizure. 

Gender: We're Team He-Man!!

Labor signs: I think I am getting a few Braxton Hicks, but nothing bad yet.

Belly button: I am getting very close to almost an outie. Last night, after a day of eating, my belly was pretty big and my belly button was almost completely even with my stomach. Now, this morning, it's sunk back in.

What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to the final stretch. My showers are being planned and it's exciting to see how people are looking forward to having another baby around. 

Milestones: I am so happy the crib is set up. It's starting to look a lot more like a nursery.
