Weeks 25-27- the bump.

Time sure has been flying by lately! The last few weeks have gone by in the blink of an eye and I can't believe I am at the beginning of the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. My bump, although not too big, has become noticeable to, it seems, everyone around me and I am constantly being asked when I'm due or what I'm having. I love it. :)

I've found a new doctor here in Maryland and so far he seems like a really good choice. Baby girl is moving around a lot and giving me all kinds of acid reflux lately! Not fun, but I won't complain too much as long as she continues growing and developing like she should! Every once in a while she gives me a scare and won't move around for a little bit... talk about anxiety! But, usually by the next day she is moving around like crazy again and I feel both happy and extremely relieved! I love being pregnant! I particularly have been enjoying these last 8 or so weeks of pregnancy since the nausea is mostly gone now (actually it has been completely gone expect for the past almost week and now in the mornings I have been feeling a bit sick again, but nothing too terrible) and I love watching as my belly grows bigger and bigger- proof that our baby girl is right there inside of me getting bigger and bigger. :) Yeah, I have a hard time loving the way I look in most clothes, and yeah I'm starting to get a bit uncomfortable sleeping at night, but Justin bought me two cute, new maternity shirts yesterday, and I finally caved and got a body pillow and I'm sure both those things will give me some extra happiness as this pregnancy progresses in the weeks to come. I honestly just try to enjoy each day. Being pregnant is such an amazing miracle to me and I feel incredibly blessed to carry this sweet baby girl inside of me, even if it means a little bit of discomfort at times. I really do love being pregnant.
