Update

I am into the 27th week, which is the start of the third trimester. We're 2/3 of the way there. I am sure the next three months are going to go by really fast. We are definitely getting excited.

I am feeling pretty good overall. Sleeping is ok. I am sleeping with a pillow under my belly and that has helped a lot with comfort and has also lessened the number of times I am getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I do get leg cramps by the time morning comes, and that sometimes wakes me up, which is kind of annoying. I am still having vivid and crazy dreams.

Now that I am getting bigger I am starting to feel it. I definitely feel heavier, but its just part of the package, so I am trying not to dwell on it. Plus, with only three months left, its not that much longer. It is quite an adjustment though.

Joe and I have a parenting class this Saturday, which should be interesting. Its called "surviving the first two months" and will cover what we should expect during that time and information about newborns and newborn care. Then we have our next prenatal appointment on the 20th.

I feel the baby kick and move daily now, which is really cool. She seems to have somewhat of a schedule going where she's more active in the mornings and the evenings. Sometimes I can feel her moving at night when I am in bed, but its not enough to keep me awake.

Things are moving right along. :-)

  1. The next 3 months are going to go by so fast. I'm glad you are sleeping better and want to hear some of those dreams. I just love your blog, are you going to keep it up after the baby girl is born??

    I love you

  2. That would be a great idea your mom had---if you have time to keep up a blog :-) I have really enjoyed reading about our granddaughter before she is born and how she is growing. You're right---time will fly past.
    Love'
