Hello Third Trimester!

So, I missed the boat on week 27, but work has been nuts the past 2 weeks & I am not expecting it to slow down too much over the next month or so. Overall, I feel pretty good besides just being tired & the occasional cramping in various parts of my body. And the fact, that I am getting bigger every day. I have gained 19lbs total, which is pretty on par for this far along in my pregnancy. I suspect & hope I only gain around 15 more lbs. My body is preparing for milk production, I feel like a cow...I really hope I can breastfeed.

Hard to believe only 12 more weeks and I get to see that little nose, kiss that beautiful face and see her amazing eyes. Her brain has developed more tissue & she is growing hair (hopefully some on her head). She weighs around 2.5 lbs, the size they reference is a chinese cabbage....


I am suppose to go buy a lot of the necessities this week to prepare for the baby, I really need a mattress...so unsure which one to buy....very important for safety reasons. I am suppose to pick up diapers & wipes, baby care items, baby friendly laundry detergent, pads for me (gross), thank you cards & stamps & easy meal ideas. If any of you would like to suggest or help, let me know! :)

Baby Lanham moves around a lot but the second I tell someone to feel my stomach she stops kicking - little stinker (Mommy loves you).
