27 weeks (+5 days)

Oh, what's up, third trimester?

I should probably just stop commenting on how quickly the time is passing, but it is truly remarkable! It seems like just moments ago I was excited to be at 99 days (from our due date) and now we're two weeks past that milestone! I am excited to be in the third trimester and just so anxious to meet my little man.

I've been feeling more and more pregnant, that's for sure. We went to the county fair recently and I needed Adrian to help me tie my shoes because it can be so uncomfortable to bend over my ever-growing belly. I've been wearing sandals for months so I didn't realize that was going to be a problem! Add that little situation to the fact that I pretty much have to roll out of bed and I'm feeling a little... fat. I know, I know - I'm growing a human inside of me, but it has been a serious trip to watch my body transform. I was pretty thin before I got pregnant and now I'm dreading what my post-pregnancy body will look like!

I went shopping for little one last night and am so hoping he will be here in time for Thanksgiving because I bought him the cutest outfit for the holiday (and scoped out insanely cute Christmas outfits as well). I'm keeping the tags on in case we're too late for him to wear it, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed :)

So much to do, so little time... have to get my butt into childbirth classes! Have to get the nursery finished started. Have to go to the doctor every two weeks. Unfortunately, I have my glucose testing on Friday - let's hope for no gestational diabetes! I wouldn't be too surprised to find out I do have it though with as much weight as I've gained. I honestly can't see where the weight is going (I'm not as huge as I make it seem), but it's there!

One thing I can definitely look forward to is my baby shower on Saturday - the first of two. It will be nice to spend time with family and friends to celebrate our little boy. I'm really looking forward to my shower in Ohio next month, too!

 I'm having second thoughts about the 3D/4D ultrasound since I feel like my money could be better spent on necessities for the babe. We've also been blessed with some wonderful 3D/4D shots from our previous ultrasounds, so it's not like I haven't seen his precious face. If I skip it now, I'll just be that much more surprised by how adorable he is when he's born!

I'm going to wrap up this post... and I apologize for the two week span between posts, but things are just sort of rolling along without much to report lately. I have a feeling that things will start picking up in the next few weeks, so hopefully I'll be back to at least regular weekly updates. And those of you lurking on my blog without being official followers (and I know there are several of you!) should just "follow" me... because it makes me feel special :) 

28 weeks on Friday!
