Week 27

How far along?  27 Weeks 
Sleep: Sleeping is fantastic.  The Bump is starting to get bigger so I'm getting farther away from my tummy sleep…. the little tummy action I do get, I can usually feel the little guy kicking the bed in protest.  He sure knows how to party when its bed time.
Best moment this week:  This was a week of milestones!  Lilly's binkies 'broke' and she was a little sad at first, but now she's totally OK with it.  She even suggested we throw them away!  So she is officially de-binked!  She also had her first potty success in her little potty!  After that night we had three fun filled days in a row that we didn't get to practice more - but at least she knows how exciting it is!  We went to Cornbelly's, Carved Pumpkins with Papa and cousins, and went to Gardner Village to pet the animals.  I love taking her out and about to explore!  This was definitely a fun filled week!
Miss Anything?  Oh I'm missing my doctor already.  Our insurance is changing in January - luckily they are agreeing to pay everything as in-network services so I can still deliver with my doctor at his hospital…. but just knowing I have to get a new OB and Pediatrician is heart breaking.  There have been many {pregnancy} tears shed over this.  At least I'm a little better now knowing that they will let me deliver with my doctor.  How could you make a pregnant lady in the third trimester change her doctor 2 weeks before delivery?!?!  All is well… until I have to officially find a new doctor. :o(
Movement:  He is one wiggly worm! I can feel him a lot when its bed time.  The kicks are getting harder too.
Food cravings:  This week I had a ridiculous craving for potato wedges and puppy chow.  Both were satisfied :)
Have you started to show yet?  I always tease that I look like Gus Gus from Cinderella… my normal t-shirts show some belly and are hard to keep down!

Labor Signs: Negative
Belly Button in or out? In.
Weddings rings on or off?  Always on!
Symptoms: Just the dang hip flexor pain!
Looking forward to:  Celebrating our 3 year anniversary!

Week 26

How far along?  26 Weeks 
Sleep: Well, Maverick thinks he should join us on the bed now... so the king size has turned into a twin it feels like!  Luckily that habit broke pretty fast!
Best moment this week:  I'm going to go with two: taking Lilly to Wheeler Farm to see the animals.  She loved it!  Also JC and I went for a beautiful motorcycle ride on a perfect day!  We went through Highland, Corner Canyon, AF Canyon, Provo Canyon, into Midway for a snack break and Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Miss Anything?  I've said it before, but riding my bike.  I've been walking to pick Lilly up from daycare and its two miles each way.  That's been nice and refreshing!
Movement:  I felt him a lot on our motorcycle ride actually!  Baby boy is getting the vibe already!
Food cravings:  You know, I really wish I had cravings like I did with Lilly.  Dinner time would be so much easier.  Nothing ever sounds to particularly good.
Have you started to show yet?  I don't think that's a question anymore.  I feel like I've even got the waddle walk going...
Labor Signs: Negative
Belly Button in or out? In.
Weddings rings on or off?  On - Now my watch is another story.  Used to be too loose and now its getting too tight.  Baby weight in my wrists?! haha!
Symptoms: Sticking with the hip flexors pain! JC is a sweetheart and gets me a warm epson salt, eucalyptus candle light bath quiet often!
Looking forward to:  Halloween - It will be fun to take Lilly out and about this year!!

Week 25

How far along?  25 Weeks 
Sleep: It's been hard getting out of bed!  I love nap time and bed time...
Best moment this week:  Friday was Overstocks 15th birthday celebration so JC was required to leave work early for the big ground breaking of the new building in Midvale.  So we took advantage of his time off and went to lunch while my mom had Lilly.  After we picked up Lilly we all took a nap, then JC and I went to the Overstock party that night. It was pretty exciting, free food and a free concert of Brett Michaels.  Surprisingly a really fun concert!  But my favorite part about the day, we were laying in bed and JC thought I had fallen asleep and was having sleep twitches... He asked me if I was sleep twitching and I said, "No, I can't sleep because of the ringing in my ears!" (the concert was really loud for us old folks!)  What he could feel was baby kicking my belly!  The little guy was going crazy and I loved that JC was able to experience all his wiggles!!
Miss Anything?  Standing up and just walking normal.  My hip flexors are all sorts of sore after sitting for awhile and take a second to get functioning!
Movement:  There has been a lot this week!  I mainly feel it while laying in bed - probably because I'm actually being still and focusing on it!
Food cravings:  Still going strong on the tomato craze!
Anything making you queasy or sick?  Ah, Peanut Butter.  That's been getting me since the beginning.  Which is horrible, coming from the girl who puts it on everything!  I can't eat it though and the smell... yuuuck.  JC gave me a kiss before leaving to work and he had had some peanut butter... I almost lost it.
Have you started to show yet?  Yes!  My friend that works across the hall from me says I have officially popped!
Labor Signs: Negative
Belly Button in or out? In.
Weddings rings on or off?  Easily go on and off!  I will always wear this beautiful ring!
Symptoms: Tired... work is busy and the sleepies are hitting hard now a days.
Looking forward to:  Second Sunday Supper.  It's the Boo-hler addition this week.  I love how my mom decorates for holidays and goes all out for our dinners.  It's even turned into a costume party!

Week 24

How far along?  24 Weeks - Yes, Yes, I skipped a week in the chalkboard pictures!  I wanted to be on the same track my doctor is so I jumped ahead since I'm still measuring a week earlier.  My due date has been changed to January 17th.
Sleep: It was fabulous this week!  I'm enjoying the little tummy sleep I can before I get too big.
Best moment this week:  Celebrated Lilly's Birthday!  She had so much fun with all her cousins, Elmo cake, and new toys of course!  I love watching her interact with her little cousins!
Miss Anything?  Motorcycle rides.  We keep talking about going but it's been too rainy or cold!
Movement:  He's a wiggle worm while I'm at work.  Keeps me entertained!
Food cravings:  Tomatoes.  I've never been a huge tomato fan, but all these homegrown tomatoes have really made an impression on baby!  I've had them on my eggs, salads, alone, and even simply a tomato sandwich!
Anything making you queasy or sick?  I'm hoping I'm out of this completely from now on!
Have you started to show yet?  Yes - its officially a pregnant belly.  I feel much bigger than last week!
Labor Signs: Negative
Belly Button in or out? Still in - I will be VERY surprised if it comes out.
Weddings rings on or off?  Easily go on and off!  I will always wear this beautiful ring!
Symptoms: You guessed it.... HEADACHES!  My hip flexors are getting sore too after sitting too long.
Looking forward to:  General Conference.  Women's conference was such a beautiful thing!  Anxious to have the weekend to listen to our Prophet and all the talks prepared for us.
