27 Weeks Pregnant!

*My view when I look straight down!

Another week of pregnancy has gone by. Tomorrow I will be 28 weeks pregnant and will then officially be in my 3rd Trimester!!! Sayy whatttt??? That is super exciting! So let's see, this past week has been a good week. I spent some time with my mom and we went to the store and purchased some things for my up coming baby shower. My mom will be hosting it sometime in March and I am really looking forward to that!

This week I have been craving cereal and chocolate! My hubby was so sweet and bought me a box of assorted chocolates from See's filled with my favorites too! I have kept it on my night stand for a sweet little treat.

Baby girl has been moving a whole lot and I am now familiar with her movement patterns. She is active on and off throughout the whole day. She moves around the most in the mornings and in the evening time. Her movements are getting strong and sometimes even catch me off guard.  For example, I will just be laying down in bed watching a show or movie and she will give me a huge kick and it makes me be like "woah there sweet baby" I love feeling her movements and she is just going to continue to get bigger and stronger! I can feel her stretching out and it is such a strange yet really cool feeling.
