third trimester!

My sister Miranda sent me one of her adorable Project Baby shirts! I soo wish I would have started this earlier…but here we go starting with the third trimester!

I am now in my 27th week with a 2 lb "cauliflower" size baby growing inside of me!

The past couple weeks have been my biggest growth spurt yet. My belly is actually starting to get in the way a little bit and the extra lbs are starting to wear on me.

I am loving being able to hike, bike ride and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. It has been very therapeutic for my body and mind.

I am feeling nervous and excited for this child to get here. There is so much preparation that we haven't even started to do. 

The movement I feel has changed from hard little kicks, to squirms (probably because he's getting a little cramped in there) and feeling a body part pressed up against my skin. I think he likes to sit up in my belly when I'm lying down because I often see a hard ball shape poking out making my belly into a tent. 

I still cannot stand asian food or anything too smelly and I love very spicy mexican food, fruit, and veggies. 

Sleep has become more challenging. I dream about sleeping on my belly.

I still can't believe this baby will be here in about three months. The reality of having my own child and being a parent still hasn't quite set in.

I am excited to start buying things for him and getting ready for his arrival!
