Week 27!? Time is flying by! A few weeks ago I couldn’t wait for her to get here so we could meet her and name her (yes- we are keeping the name a secret and in fact do not know her name ourselves. Trey & I have decided on a few names and are waiting to meet her before naming her). But lately I have been loving being pregnant- despite the complaints and whines I have for my husband and my best friends when I feel huge and am hurting- and I feel like I will miss having her in my belly! I love having her with me all day and being so close. I also am starting to feel like things are so much easier right now and she is so much safer right where she is. So I am perfectly happy with where we are and have no desire to rush things along. 🙂

She is still moving a lot, but her movements are definitely feeling different. I don’t know if its because she is getting bigger or because there is less room in there for her to move, but her movements are not as jarring as they used to be. They are feeling stranger and like more controlled movement than random pokes and bursts of movement. I had a doctor’s appointment today and was told she is very very low and is currently breech (yikes!), but there is plenty of time for her to flip head down first so no need to worry. So if you see me standing on my head frequently you will know its not from going completely insane (only partially)- I am just so hoping she will flip herself over. My doctor is also completely on board with our unmedicated birth plan and was very encouraging when I talked through it with her which makes me feel SO good to have her on my side! Everything was on track at the doctor- waiting to hear back about my glucose test- hoping no gestational diabetes here! But really that orange sugar drink was not so bad- not great, but totally fine. From here on out its dr. appointments every 2 weeks!

One of my very close friends, Liz, had her baby this week and he is such a cute baby! It is so strange that we have been pregnant together for so long and now she is a mommy and I will be following in her footsteps in not too long. I love getting to hear her stories and journey before I get there myself. I am so happy for Liz, Brent and Baby Briggs! What a blessing! Really! This whole giving life thing is seriously a MIRACLE. Before getting pregnant I thought of babies and the miracle of life so differently. It is so amazing to see God’s work and see his blessings. I feel amazing blessed to be a part of it and to bring another one of his children to this world.
