27 Weeks

We are now officially 90 days away from our due date, and one week away from the 3rd tri-mester. I am not sure why the 90 days was a landmark in my mind, really the 3rd tri-mester is a bigger landmark, but 90 days stuck out to me. Maybe just because it is easier to do the math.

Everything is becoming very much more real to me now. We are feeling Jackson move every day now, which is surreal. He can see light through Emily's stomach. The other day I took a flash light while he was sleeping and shined it right into her stomach, and he moved toward the light, and then I switched sides and he moved that way. I then moved it up and he quit moving, so I yelled at him and grounded him for a week as soon as he is born.

One of our baby updaters said that he is now sucking his thumb and is able to cry now and he will immediately recognize our voices when he is born. Guess I need to stop swearing now.

Emily is feeling 100% better. After she battled the flu, she quit puking, and is back at the gym 5 days a week now. For some reason her stomach keeps growing. :-) She is at the stage that sleeping is getting harder because she is uncomfortable. She always took up 3/4 the bed, and now she claims that Jackson needs more room. I have a feeling it is just a matter of time before I am sleeping in the guest bedroom.

Her side has been hurting and she went to the doctor yesterday and he thinks it might be her gallbladder or just muscle cramps. She will get an ultra-sound next Thursday and we will know more then. Either way there is no danger for her or Jackson, just a pain in her side.

The nursery is painted, but the furniture has yet to arrive, so I will post pictures as soon as it is all put together...I will tell you though: IT ROCKS!

April 27th, 2011 is a date that started so far away, and now is 90 days away....

Keep on keeping on!
