Bump Update #3

A few thoughts and notes on pregnancy:

+ 27 weeks brought me to the end of my 2nd trimester
+ which means I'm currently in my 3rd trimester (WHAT?! Where has the time gone?!)
+ Baby Girl's movements are much stronger these days and I really love feeling her move around
+ I did a big purge of the things and donated a bunch of stuff to Prevent Blindness
+ emotionally I'm doing pretty well and have been upbeat for the most part
+ although there was about a week or so of extreme sensitivity and perhaps some extreme reactions (it's not my fault! hormones!  that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
+ craving sweets and more sweets! (ice cream!!!) (and junk food! :-/) So thankful I passed my glucose tolerance test!
+ travelled to Charleston, NC at 26 weeks and did great - more on that later...
+ looking forward to my upcoming baby showers, I have such sweet friends
+ have a couple crafty projects planned for Baby Girl's nursery
+ getting a bit nervous about labor and delivery, you know the unknown and the pain
+ we have an upcoming child birth class scheduled and I'm hoping we leave feeling more in the know
+ learned at my last OB appointment that my energy levels are expected to take a nose dive in the upcoming weeks (but I still have so much to do!!!)
+ feeling bigger and bigger - I'm out of breath much easier and am having increasing trouble with things like tying my shoes
+ this past weekend my husband thought me to have a definite "pregnant walk," I'm assuming this means I'm starting to waddle. Ha. Ha. Ha.  (not so funny)
