27 weeks!

Oh HI 3rd trimester!......
You came out of nowhere and hit me like a ton of bricks! Gone are the days of being "comfortable" and hello to backache, sleepiness, and weight gain!
The first sign was his INTENSE movements! We were watching Netflix about a week ago (what's new) and my entire belly started doing the wave and they I felt like he was trying to kick out my belly. Since then I feel him kicking ALLLLL day and I LOVE it! What I don't love is how he now likes to hang out on the top of my belly under my boobs and jam something somewhere that makes my belly button hurt. He also found some nerve somewhere that makes one spot of my belly completely numb 90% of the time. super weird. The other day he was hurting me so bad where he was sitting so Jonathan tried moving him down my belly and he was literally kicking Jonathan back! Jonathan would push him down and he could feel him pushing right back! Already so stubborn in there!
So we read in one of my weekly updates that at this point we might be able to hear his heartbeat from the outside! Jonathan tried and didn't hear his heart BUT he can hear him moving and swooshing around in there. That is pretty cool. At this point his lungs are developed and he has brain activity! Jonathan started reading him Greek Mythology(for kids) at night...Im thinking more on the lines of nursery rhyme books but oh well =)
Speaking of nursery, we are making major progress!!!! Our glider came in and we finally got the crib and dresser set up!! Im ordering his bedding this weekend and then will start with all the wall decorations =) I could not be more excited! The chair came back exactly what I was hoping for and looks awesome with the wall color.

The lighting is a little weird but you get the idea =)

Another pregnancy milestone  this week and I was SOOOO nervous! I have no idea why but I was so sure I would puke it up. I went on a weekend just in case I was sick after (im such a chicken) My plan was to go Saturday but after eating about half a tub of icing on Friday afternoon   I thought it best to go on Sunday =)

So I went Sunday morning and picked "fruit punch" flavor. It actually was not horrible! It basically tasted like really old kool aid with way to much sugar...

Speaking of sugar and the half a tub of icing...my newest addiction!! "adult dunkaroos!!" Holy cow is it good! (thanks Kristin!) Its basically teddy grahams and rainbow chip icing. I don't know how I didn't gain 10 lbs alone this week.
