27 weeks...

I'm not brave enough to post a picture. I'm just not feelin it this time around. I already weigh more than when I gave birth to Allie, Kole or Hannah. UGH! The worst part, I just realized my drivers license is expired and I have to go get a new one! Why now?! Why do I need to get my mug shot taken when my chin is clearly pregnant too?! And what the heck to I put down for my 'weight'? LOL!

Buuut... I can't complain too much. I think this has been a pretty easy pregnancy compared to Allie & Kole's. This pregnancy is pretty similar to Hannah's. I'm starting to get the aches & pains and tiredness that comes along with the 3rd trimester. I often have to take little cat naps during naptime during the day and then I'm in bed for the night around 9:30pm. So far my progesterone injections & cerclage are doing their jobs. I haven't had to do any bedrest and hopfully it will remain that way. I'll be taking my last progesterone injection in about 8 weeks and will be getting my cerclage taken out in 9 weeks. And then she is free to come anytime after. YIKES!!! I don't feel ready. LOL!

Allie used to love to put her hand on my belly when I was pregnant with Hannah. It was really exciting for her to feel the kicks & bumps. This time for some reason, she has no interest at all. I ask her all the time if she wants to feel the baby move and she just doesn't. She is, however, excited for the baby to come. Kole likes to feel the baby move. Though, he doesn't often sit still long enough to actually feel her move. He just puts his hand on my stomach and quickly says, 'I feel her!' and then runs off. Typical boy. He is VERY much into pampering me though. I love it! He talks very softly and sweetly when asking if I want a massage or my hair brushed. He likes to hear my feedback on his massage skills too. LOL! I often hear, 'is this the best massage mom?', 'do you like me to brush your hair so will grow like Ripunzel's?' So cute! Hannah... well... she just has no clue whats about to happen. If she's sitting my lap and I ask her to give the baby a love, she'll turn to my belly and lay her head on it, but she really has no clue that there really is a baby inside.

I'm getting excited to meet this little person inside of me! I can't wait to see who she looks like. Allie & Kole look more like Tim, while Hannah looks more like me. Who will this little gal look like? Allie & Kole were baldies, while Hannah was born with lots of hair. Will this little one have hair? She will be here before we know it!!!!
