27 Weeks - Hello Third Trimester!

Here we are, third trimester! Baby is now a cuddly teddy bear size at nearly 15 inches. His limbs, however, do not feel like they are teddy bear plushy! He's been poking, kicking, punching, head butting, elbowing and kneeing me at every moment! He's such an active little boy and so strong! I have no idea how my insides are going to make it through the next three months!

At 27 weeks, baby has a really good chance at surviving and without permanent problems. I believe it's next week when the survival chance goes up to 80%. We're really getting somewhere now!

We were planning on getting up early today and getting my bloodwork and rhogam shot done at the hospital, but I was too exhausted to get up in time and I just felt terrible. A rough way to start out a trimester! I still don't feel rested. Hopefully it gets done before Tuesday.

I just did a second round of laundry for baby. I'm now becoming convinced that I have about enough clothes. The problem is I've been buying clothing for the whole first half of the year, so I always feel a bit worried that one of those stages is lacking. I know newborn is, I think I have about four or five newborn outfits plus the few shirts I'm going to buy yet. I'm hoping he doesn't come out smaller than I'm thinking he will. I know Katie was in newborn for a few weeks, but I'd rather stock up on 0-3 than newborn clothes that'll only fit for 2-3 weeks. I'm hoping this isn't a mistake! I did the same with diapers - I bought two small bags of newborns and a huge box of 180 size 1 diapers, but that's much easier to remedy.

I changed the going home outfit I had for Will. I still have the newborn one in case that's all he fits in, but I love this 0-3 outfit. Newborns in pure white are so adorable, and this is the softest, most cuddly outfit. It's definitely the nicest $2 baby outfit I ever got!

I need a nap terribly. The weather changing every week (it was summer, then last week it felt like mid/late fall, now it's hot and about to storm) is driving my allergies nuts and leaves me so sleepy. I took the weekly pic early today, so here it is:
