27 weeks

It is hard to believe that in a few short weeks we will start the last quarter of this pregnancy! It felt like it has flown by! Week 27 marks the official beginning of the third trimester. As the weather has been feeling nicer, my excitement to meet this little guy continues to rise. I feel him kicking and moving all of the time so I just wonder if he will be as active when he is out of the womb. Either way, I am looking forward to May!

It was another rough week at school so I am finally reserving myself to the idea that this is just the cross I am meant to bear at this time, and I will get through it. Hopefully, the remainder of the year is less stressful so I can coast on outta here.

I have gotten some great pictures of Karsen lately! He sure has been so fun to be around, but we are starting to see a little bit of toddler attitude coming from him. Luckily, they are short tantrums so they aren't too bad, and we are hopeful it doesn't get too much worse, but we will see!

We are well past Christmas, but we still wear these pjs! 

Birthday dinner with Grandma!

Smiles!

He loves sitting on his stool. 

I wonder where he learned to cross his legs?!

Loves ice cream!

Wearing Mr. Potato's hat!

Running to mom with a book!

He loves his police car and ambulance PJs!

Jumping off the slide at the park.

On the swing!

Below is the bump pic from this week! The belly definitely feels bigger this week.

How far along? 27 weeks.

Total weight gain: I have been out walking a few days this week so I am really starting to feel better overall. I havent weighed myself lately. It wouldnt surprise me if I have gained a few more pounds. 

Maternity clothes: Maternity jeans, tops, elastic pants...whatever is comfortable. 

Sleep: Sleep has been ok. Again, I have cut myself off of water at a certain time in the evening so that forces me to only get up once per night to use the restroom. I rotate back and forth a lot but otherwise, I am sleeping pretty well. 

Best moment this week: The nicer weather has helped me be in a better mood. Being able to get outside with Karsen and go to the park always makes things more pleasant. 

Miss anything? Still wine. Always wine.

Movement: Stronger kicks and more frequently! I have also felt some more forceful movements, so I am guessing he is starting to recognize that he has a little less room.

Food cravings: No cravings in particular.  

Symptoms: No real symptoms. 

Belly button in or out? In. 

Wedding rings on or off? On and comfortable.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy to be home with Karsen and Bruce.

Looking forward to: As the weather improves, I am totally looking forward to the spring...spring break, and then summer break!
