27 weeks today means I have entered the last trimester. Isn't that crazy!? The whole thing is going by so fast. I think I'm going to miss it, even though I've had my share of "hard" days. I'm anxious to meet my daughter though so I'm also very excited that the end is coming near!
This week Harper has been super active. She is now pushing individual body parts (bum, feet, and hands) into me and they protrude through and make a very clear presence on my tummy. Which means I can actually touch her...well...though layers of skin and muscle and fat. But I have actually grabbed her little foot gently and it's incredible. It's also super trippy to watch her move now because my whole belly shifts with her.
She is also responding more to touch and sound. If I want to get her going I can push on her gently and get a response. The other day Justin had his lips close to my belly and was making silly sounds and she responsed with movement.
We just love our little girl!
Next on the agenda is our 28 week appointment which starts the process of having visits every 2 weeks instead of every month. This upcoming one I am doing a glucose test (but don't have to drink that notorious nasty drink for it) and probably a complete blood count.
It's super hard to get up from a laying position now. And if I have been sitting for awhile it's hard to get up from that position too. Hello beautiful baby bump!
Overview of this Week
The bump: Getting bigger by the week! I measure myself every week and grow about a centimeter each time. Which is exactly perfect for what doctors want to see.
Cravings: Corn dogs and sour patch kids.
Aversions: We went to Denny's for pancakes and all the pictures of eggs made me feel nauseous. Soni guess I'm not over that one.
Looking forward to: 3D ultrasound. Baby shower. Feeling hiccups!
