27 weeks!

Yeah that's right...it's my belly, and yes I'm only 27 weeks. One week shy of the beginning of my 3rd trimester. If you are wondering, no, it's not twins...and yes I'm freaking HUGE! Where else is she going to go, I don't have anywhere else for her to go, but out. Luckily I have not gained a lot of weight, I'm right on track to where I should be. Hopefully I stay that way in the next 3 months.

She is one active little bug in me. She kicks, she twirls, she does some amazing acrobatics, but mostly during the night time hours. I wish it was during the day, but it's not. It's when I'm trying to get comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep that she figures it's time to show off. Only a couple of the kids have been able to feel her kick, she likes to save it for when they look away or take their hand off my belly. She does like to kick her dad though, they totally high five each other. 

So now the countdown is on. Melissa reminds me every day how many weeks it is until the due date. This week makes it 13 weeks. I am looking forward to being able to hold her on the outside of me. Luckily I have a few holidays to get through before then to keep my attention distracted from the "is it time yet" blues. Here's to getting through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years! Then it's time for a baby!! Bring her on!
