Last Thursday was officially the beginning of my 3rd trimester. I am now 27 weeks and 3 days. Whew. Only 12 and a half more weeks to go! Piece of cake. I can totally do that. :)
My belly exploded in the last 3 weeks or so. I'm wondering how I'm going to get any bigger than this...not that I doubt that it's possible, I just wonder how comfortable it's going to be. They are still guessing that Max will be a big one. He's expected to reach (if not pass) David's 9lbs 10oz. And David was 5 days early! Yikes. An ultrasound will be scheduled for late in the pregnancy to check Max's size. If he's on track to be a big guy and the midwives and doctors have their way, I will be induced at 38 weeks. That will put the delivery closer to February 4th than the 18th which is the due date now. I have an appt. with the midwife this Friday. More details to come later...
Now down to the fun details. Like I said, I am 27 weeks and 3 days. So far I have gained 5 pounds. Yep, 5. That's all. Thanks, Mom for passing down those awesome pregnancy genes! At this point in the pregnancy, the baby is measuring about 15 inches long and about 2 pounds. I feel him kicking like crazy - especially when I'm trying to sit calmly and relax or when I lay down to go to sleep. Great timing, little buddy. :) He had hiccups for the first time on my birthday (last Thursday). It was pretty cool. I had forgotten how neat that feels. My last craving of spicy brown mustard and chili powder is long gone and now it's beans. I crave pinto, black, kidney and the like. Weird, huh? Yeah, it's ok. I know it is.
In other news, my innie belly button is well on it's way to becoming an outie. With David I lost the appearance of a belly button at all. It went completely flat. This time around I don't know what sort of funky junk is happening with it. The top part is sticking out, the center is pretty flat and then the bottom is trying really hard to maintain innie status. It's a losing fight. Little David is learning to point out basic body parts like eyes, ears, nose, teeth, legs, tummy, and belly button. He points out his and then looks to find mine. He's having trouble in the belly button department lately. He lifts my shirt up and then just looks around. He stares at my belly and then looks at me like "Where is it?". Makes me laugh every time.
Like I said, I have an appt on Friday so check back to see if I have any sort of new updates!
