There are conflicting reports on what the actual beginning of the third trimester is...27 or 28 weeks. I'm close enough to 28 so we'll say we're there! :) I have absolutely no complaints! I have loved every second of being pregnant and definitely don't want to rush it. But, I'm so terrible about surprises that I'm DYING to see this baby boy!
So this is my 27 week Grey belly! I can't believe we're in the home stretch! Isn't he getting big?? If you look at the shape of my belly, it looks a little pointed...right? Well, I can tell he is so long! I can feel his feet right where the bend of my elbow is and I believe that's his little hiney right in front. But, I feel body parts extending every corner of my belly! It's really crazy. Grey is still such a little mover! At 26 weeks, he made contact with my ribs on the right side. I'm thinking that's a good sign that he's head down... He definitely has awake and sleeping patterns. He is normally moving around wildly around 5:30 a.m. and does so for about 45 minutes to an hour. Then, right before 8 a.m. he wakes back up to Curtis' alarm and stays up for a while. Mid-morning, he slows down then picks back up around lunch. Afternoons are quite, until dinner. Then, 7 - 10 p.m. he really cranks back up.
Curtis and I love to watch my belly at night. Grey shifts from side to side, kicks and punches. Last night, Curtis was talking to him and he was going crazy. It was a lot of fun! He really responds to singing too. ...too bad he has to hear my voice!
Coming up next week, I take the dreaded glucose test. Eeek. I'm hoping everything stays down and I pass. Sweets are SUPER sweet to me, so here's to keeping the magic orange stuff down. I'm also excited that we have another ultrasound appointment. This is the "big" ultrasound for us where the perinatologist will measure Grey again and come up with a birth plan. In case you forgot, Grey was measuring a little big. Plus, I was 9 lbs. 6 oz. and Curtis was almost 9 lbs. SO, I'm interested to see how big he is and come up with a game plan.
This week, Curtis and his dad started on the nursery. I can't wait to post pictures!!

Sarah,
I already had my glucose test and it really isn't that bad. It just tastes like flat orange soda. Can you believe we only have about 3 months left??!! So exciting!! I feel the same as you...I'm loving every minute of this pregnancy but I sure am getting antsy to meet this little guy. You look great!!
Sarah you look so cute! I just love that sweet belly! I can't wait to see that precious baby boy...Grey is going to be a cutie!
Sarah -
You are such a pretty pregnant girl : ) I'm so excited for you and Curtis and baby Grey on the way!
Yeah the glucose test isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. My only complaint was that it was SO cold and they wanted me to drink it in 1-2 min! BRAIN FREEZE!! I cant wait to hear how big Grey is! William was about 3lb 5 oz at our 30 week scan....the doc sait that was "average". I think he is gonna be a little bigger than average now! He is running out of room! ;-)
