27 Weeks (Jun 04 2010)
I've been kind of bad about updating lately. I meant to do it last weekend, since I had Friday and Monday off.. but instead, we worked a lot on her nursery (put together her crib, rocking chair, bought bedding at Land of Nod on the north side) and had my family in town to see the new apartment. All said, I was pretty tired when Monday came around, and just spent the whole Memorial Day off watching episodes of Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.
In any case, today I am 27 weeks pregnant, which officially puts me in my third trimester. Yay!
Total Weight Gain: around 15 lbs. This came as a bit of a shock, since I was gaining so slowly before the last doctor's appointment, but apparently it's catching up with me.
Best Moment This Week: actually happened yesterday/today, graduating to third trimester. When I announced this on Facebook, Will replied "Happy third trimester, my beautiful ladies." I read it at work and teared up a little bit. Also, it's always gratifying when we do anything to get ready for Dana's arrival. Yesterday we got the carseat/stroller system out of the box (thanks Nan!) and started figuring out how they worked. Tricky stuff!
Movements: she's moving all the time these days and is getting very strong. There are times when she's kicking me in such uncomfortable ways that I have to try and get her to rotate or something. But even when it's uncomfortable, it's great to know that she's strong and healthy.
Overall: big and happy.
