Baby #3: Olivia- 27 weeks

Wow! Was my last baby post really at 23 weeks!? I have been falling behind! Life this summer has been so busy! We have been going non-stop! Here are some updates on pregnancy #3 with little Miss Olivia.

About Olivia: She is weighing in at about 2 pounds and is around 14 inches in length (According to Babycenter.com). Her eyes are open and she can see light. Her brain, lungs, and heart are fully developed. Now, it is time to mature those lungs and get some fat under that skin. She is wiggling like crazy. No matter the time of day, I feel her little kicks.

Weight Gain: From starting weight- 18 pounds. I gained quite a bit this last month, but since I was behind from the beginning of the pregnancy, my doctor wasn't too concerned.

Symptoms: Aching hips!!! Oh my! This little girl loves my hips. She kicks them all day and night and it is putting a toll on them! They are just achy. I've learned walking around helps stretch them out and then resting. Sleepiness- I toss and turn at night to get comfortable, which I know will only be getting worse. I have to get up at least 2 times a night to use the restroom, so sleep isn't so great right now. I've been shutting my eyes for 10-15 minutes during the day while the kids are playing or watching a show, just to rest a little. I can't see my toes... It's official.

Sleep: Again, not great sleep. Tired a lot. I get a good amount of sleep each night, but not consistent.

Cravings: Lemonade and grapes

Best Moment: Hitting that 3rd trimester check-point. Hearing the heartbeat at the doctors appointment.

Looking forward to: The end of the 3rd trimester! ;)

27 weeks down! 13 to go!! Getting closer!
