Happy Third Trimester to me! Well, actually, it would be more accurate if I called it "Uncomfortable Third Trimester to me" because whoa, things be shifting all over the place in there. I can't eat much without my stomach going crazy and she is just as active as ever in there. It's pretty amazing how different things are this week, I'm starting to feel a bit like this in the mornings when my alarm clock goes off:
Twenty-six weeks

It's that time of the week again, folks! Week 26 was a turning point, I think, she's getting big enough to start getting in the way of my stomach and she thoroughly enjoys playing soccer with my bladder. It's both weird and exciting to watch my belly move on it's own! The picture is from today, so technically I'm at 27 weeks in it, but I'll take another 27-weeker this weekend for my next update. Have I said that before?
Twenty-five weeks

Guess what? Only 99 days left in my pregnancy! WHAT?! Crazy, right?! Seriously, where is the time going? Before I know it this baby will be here and I'm gonna be all where did this baby come from?!
Twenty-four Weeks

I'm a little late on the post this week but yesterday was super busy! The photo is actually me at exactly 25 weeks, but I'll take another before the 25-week post goes up. Can you believe how big my belly got in one week?! I walked past a mirror at work and literally stopped dead in my tracks like, whoa. Little McBaby is getting bigger and bigger, I can't even believe how fast time is flying by!
Twenty-three Weeks
Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Whoa, baby, where did this week go? Seriously, if time is going to go by this fast, I don't know what I'm going to do when this baby is born. She's already growing up too fast!
So this week we're at 23 weeks, one more week left until point-of-viability, which means that if for some (very unexpected) reason I go into labor next week, she has a better chance of pulling through. I know it's a bit morbid to celebrate the point-of-viability milestone, but with all the mamas I've seen lose their little ones between 20 and 23 weeks this past month, I find so much solace in knowing the doctors will soon do everything they can to keep our sweet little girl alive if anything happened.
Okay, on to happier things!

Total weight gain/loss: I'm still at -8lbs. Yay me?
Maternity clothes? I bought a few more tops and an experimental pair of maternity jeans. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on clothes I'm going to wear for the next 4 months, but I'm loving the pregnancy look, so I want to flaunt this bump as much as possible before I go back to sucking in my gut ;)
Sleep: More please.
Best moment this week: We got to hang out with some of Mike's family this weekend and his aunt bought our little lady a bunch of really cute clothes - Just seeing tiny little clothes makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Worst Symptom this Week: Are stretch marks a symptom? If so, I'm starting to get them (waaah)
Buy anything for the nursery? The glider arrived and I assembled it with only 2 minor (ha, major) meltdowns. That completes all the major furniture purchases for the nursery!
