Does this pregnancy make me look fat?
Hahah, that's the question that I keep asking Kaleb. His response? "No. You look babyful." Kaleb is so excited about my ever growing bump, he shows it off to all of his friends, and on occasion, his family. We are almost to the final stretch--
THIRD TRIMESTER!
Now is the time to start getting all of the final things put together-- birthing plans, baby bedding, hospital bag, baby shower invites, stocking up on diapers and wipes, birthing and breastfeeding classes, budget plans-- all of it. It is crazy to think that he will be here so soon!
The best part is, everything is starting to fall into place. Kaleb starts his new job on Monday, we've picked an apartment (we just need to do all the paperwork& such in about a month, when we'll have money), and then we can get all settled in.
I know that none of this would be possible without our amazing support system; Grae is going to have so much love in his life, it just makes my heart swell. He is coming into such a great family, and I can't wait for everyone to meet him.
WHAT GRAE IS UP TOO
(at 27 weeks)
This week, BabyG is almost 2 pounds (the size of an average cauliflower) and about 14.5 inches long, when his legs are extended. He can open and close his eyes, and may respond to the light that filters through the womb! His lungs are still developing, which has brought on a LOT of those sweet baby hiccups. His brain is developing like crazy, and it is highly active now.
Graeson is usually awake and kicking when I'm first up in the morning, and settles down the majority of the afternoon. By the time I lay down for bed, baby is up and ready to play!
HOW I'M FEELING
My heartburn is in full swing lately, mostly in the evening. My back is starting to kill me, and I've begun to feel a few Braxton Hicks contractions. I'm starting to think more and more about the future, down to the way I want our apartment to be set up, though I'm pretty sure it's not full blown nesting.
My appetite is CRAZY. I can be starving, eat an awesome meal, and an hour or two later, I'm starving again.
I'm drinking milk like it's going out of style, and I can't get enough Oreo's! Don't even worry that I would KILL for some eggnog!
WHAT I'M THINKING
I was so ready to be done with the pregnancy, but now that it's cooling down, it's not so bad! I do want to meet BabyG so so bad, but I know we still have quite a bit of getting ready to do! So I'm going to continue to enjoy the kicks, rolls, punches and hiccups while we get everything ready for him!
