Good morning!
Happy Third Trimester Day to us! I think we'll be celebrating by doing something silly. Maybe I'll bake a three-layer cake or demand a three minute back massage or something!
How big is baby? At my last appointment baby was a little over a foot long... so probably somewhere between 12 and 15 inches today.

| I think the end photos are the coolest. Weeks 20 and 27 in the same dress look verrrrry different! |
How big is baby? At my last appointment baby was a little over a foot long... so probably somewhere between 12 and 15 inches today.
Maternity clothes? Definitely wearing them.
Stretchies?
I have some on both hips. I thought I saw the beginnings of one on the
bottom of my belly recently but Ryan inspected it and determined that it
was just a crease for my pajama pants.
Sleep?
I have a lot of trouble falling asleep after getting up in the night
now. I also have heartburn every moment I'm awake so that doesn't help!
Best moment this trimester? Ultrasound!
Movement? Yes, lots! Particularly during the music segment at church and right as I lie down to fall asleep.
Labor signs? None.
Belly button in or out? In... and really cavernous compared to normal.
What I miss? Tuna and cold-cuts. I think I've decided my post-delivery meal in the hospital is going to be a tuna sandwich on GF bread.
What I am looking forward to? Meeting our baby! The babymoon is pretty darn exciting too though!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
Deletethis was so cute! i loved seeing how your belly has grown from week to week. :)
ReplyDeletei still think GIRL.
Thank you! I never feel like I've grown much at all until I look at photos.
DeleteI am never sure and always have moments of doubt but I'm finding myself leaning a lot more towards girl these days too. No proof, just a funny feeling.
I'm gonna go with girl! And, also, definitely request that back massage.
ReplyDeleteI have doubts all the time, but lately I've leaned towards girl a little more often too.
DeleteAnd I forgot about it! I'll request it tonight though. =]
Heyy girly. Cute belly! You are right - 20 weeks to 27 does look the same! I may have forgotten (so forgive me) but do you or don't you want to know the gender? Glad to see your cute self is doing well. Oh, and the sculptures in the previous post are BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteNope, we won't be finding out the gender... and thank you! =]
Deleteahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteNeither can we! I can't wait for you to meet him/her either!!
DeleteYou look so adorable! Oh so happy too!!!!!! Mmmm I'm going to go with boy :) my finance's sister just had their second baby on Tuesday, a beautiful and healthy baby girl. Babies galore- Horray! ~ Naples Sara
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWe know a TON of people who are all due within one month of our due date in both directions and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is having a boy!
I still can't believe you haven't found out the gender yet...I wouldn't be able to wait!!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pictures! It's definitely such a big difference. And I can't believe you're already 27 weeks...time has flown by!
That part about your pants leaving a mark made me laugh!
They couldn't tell at the ultrasound any ways so that probably helped. ;]
DeleteI know! Closer to 29 now!!
Ha ha yes, I was about to cry (I know they're coming, I'm just not HAPPY about them coming) and Ryan was trying hard not to laugh!
