12 weeks to go until the 40 week deadline. I don't think I've ever felt more confused before as far as having no patience for these 12 weeks to be over mixed with wanting them to last a lot longer! But, it's time to get our act together and start the final preparations for this little guy that will come and take over our lives. There's a lot to do...turn our 2nd bedroom, which is currently an all purpose room, into baby mecca...reorganize our little home to make room for everything that needs to be removed from the all purpose room...round up all the gadgets & gizmos we'll need to carry, feed, transport and play with the baby...pick out a name!!!...attend some birthing & breastfeeding classes...make some decisions on daycare options...and just prepare mentally for all that's to come.
As far as little Baby G is doing...he is constantly reminding me that he is in my belly hanging out and growing stronger every day. I'm amazed at how much I feel him move, and if this is any indication as to how he'll be outside of the womb...we are in for it! He likes to wake me up a lot in the middle of the night by snuggling up to one of my organs and using it as a punching bag. Corey was finally able to see him moving from the outside, it took some patience and a lot of starring at my tummy, but it's pretty cool to see!
I have another doc appt next week and then I get to start going every 2 weeks...luckily, I just have to walk down the street from my office to the doctors office so it's very convenient.
I haven't been a big fan of taking pictures of my pregnant self, but here are some pics at 27 weeks. I apologize for the awkwardness of the full pic of me, I have yet to find a flattering angle and felt extremely uncomfortable, but you are all more than welcome to lie to me and tell my how cute I look and how I'm "glowing" :-)
