We Made It... Third Trimester

I can't believe I only have 13 weeks left with this little baby inside of me!  I'm definitely getting a little anxious with all of the things that need to be done before then, but somehow it will all get done.

How Far Along: 27 Weeks
Total Weight Gain: 11 pounds
Maternity Clothes: I wouldn't dream of anything else! 
Stretch Marks: So far, so good.
Sleep: Overall, I'm sleeping okay.  Seems as though I have an internal alarm clock that goes off around 1:30 every morning, but most of the time I can get back to my dreams pretty quickly.
Miss Anything:
Food Cravings:  Nothing really out of the ordinary
Belly Button In or Out: Unfortunately, it looks like I won't get an outie this time around either.  Just a long sliver of a belly button... so unattractive!

I think Crawford is really getting excited about being a big brother!  He tells us he is going to help bathe the baby and change diapers, but he wants to make sure we'll be there to help!  I usually put him to bed at night, although lately it's been more of a team effort, but he says he's okay if daddy does it when the baby gets here.  He got a new book for the baby and reads it to him/her every now and then.  I can only pray that the sweet shines through on most days when his world is rocked by "the baby!!"

We are in the process of getting Crawford's "big boy" room all set up (beds should be delivered and installed tomorrow if it doesn't rain, then they need to be painted.)  I'll feel much better when he is situated in his new room and I can start transforming his "old room" to the new baby's room - getting new born clothing from the attic, washed and in it's proper place!  With Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, I know these next three months are going to fly by!  I'm trying to enjoy each day; if I'm honest it kind of makes me sad when I think it won't just be the three of us anymore.  I know I won't be able to imagine life without the four of us soon, just still a little hard to imagine right now!
