27 Weeks




This week marks a couple of big milestones… First of all, I am officially in the 3rd trimester, the last leg of pregnancy, so that's kind of bittersweet! I am one of those crazy women that has really loved being pregnant, so it's crazy how fast it is going by. On the other hand, I hear that things are about to get pretty uncomfortable and in a few weeks, I'll be more than ready for it to be all over and just meet my baby. Also, 27 weeks is a big milestone in baby development. At 2 pounds, if Avery is born now, she has more than a 90% chance of survival. Of course we are very eager to meet her, but we want her to stay in the belly for at least 10 more weeks when she is full term and much chunkier!!

Also this week, I celebrated my 25th birthday. Other than going out to dinner and responding to the 80+ FaceBook messages, this was less than exciting… I spent the day at a literacy training and it just didn't feel much like a birthday. Maybe it's because I have been so focused on baby things and gearing up for back to school that my birthday just kind of snuck up on me and was over before I realized it.

Other exciting stuff…my inlaws ordered our crib last night and it should be delivered in a week or so!! I am looking forward to (Jon) putting it together. :) Oh and I passed my gestational diabetes test! The drink wasn't as bad as I imagined, but it wasn't very good either. I was just worried about passing, with diabetes running in my family, and because I felt like major crap with a huge sugar crash afterwards. But I did pass, which means it's totally ok to continue the daily ice cream eating! Haha :)
