Oh hello, Third Trimester! (27 wks, 6 d)

Well, I'll be... We're coming down the homestretch! I can't believe that as of tomorrow, we'll be 28 weeks pregnant (that's SEVEN months)! We have so much to do before the baby gets here, we're never going to accomplish it all. I always felt like nesting would kick in and I'd be all set at this point, but it just hasn't happened yet.

Since my last post, the morning sickness has officially gone away! Yay! At the last appointment, I was back to my very first appt's starting weight - so a total of 0 lbs gained/lost. I go back on Monday for my glucose test and 28 week follow up, at which point I am POSITIVE I will be told that I've finally gained weight! I'm not *really* excited about this, but at least I know that things are moving along and in the right direction... and I'm no longer puking every day!

The baby is moving A LOT these days, especially after drinking some soda, eating spicy chicken sandwiches from Wendy's, or after I sit down for the first time after a long day at work. Some days, like today, it feels like somersaults are happening over and over inside of me. Other days, the baby is mostly quiet and only moves when provoked. I'll be honest, those days worry me; I end up poking my stomach over and over to get the baby to move. I think a lot of the time, I'm just so busy at work and I've grown so accustomed to the movement that I don't even notice the little flutters. Tonight at dinner I definitely felt a FOOT kicking out right above my belly button. Either that, or it was a little hand with the palm pushing out - because it was a huge area that bumped out. I wish I had caught it on tape; it was truly amazing to see my belly dance and wiggle from the outside!

With all that, I'll end with some much awaited pictures... I finally got them uploaded on the computer and I know that's what you all want, anyway!
