Week 27

Well, it's the end of the 2nd trimester. Next week begins the 3rd and final strech. Whoa. Did that go by fast, or what? I know it's not over till the fat lady sings (ha!), but boy - it sure feels like the last 27 weeks have wizzed by.
Lil'Dude continues to get big, and he continues to do his acrobactic routine in my belly. I'm starting to learn his sleep patterns. He is most active and awake around 8am, 11:30am, 5pm and 10pm. It feels like he's doing sommersaults in there! His favorite game is to move around a bunch, then when ever someone puts their hand on my belly to feel...... he stops. Perhaps he's shy.
I am still feeling pretty good. I've had an interesting bout of nausea the last couple of days...not sure what that's all about. Perhaps since I was spared in the beginning, I'll be cursed at the end. It's not uncommon, I've read. Other than that, things are moving right along.
We start our Birthing Classes this week, which we are both looking forward to. It will be nice to be surrounded by other pregnant couples and also to be reminded what we're getting ourselves into. I'm hoping that it will ground us both a little and make it all seem that much more real. Hoping.
