27 weeks
27 weeks!!! Wow!! This pregnancy is flying by! I have been so blessed to feel great for the most part. I do feel like I could use a nap at pretty much any given time, but that's not necessarily pregnancy related...most likely from caring for three little ones.
25 weeks (left) and 27 weeks (right) I have been having the most random/weird/scary pregnancy nightmares. I get them every time I'm pregnant. They've made for some funny middle of the night laughs with Jacob when I wake up freaking out about praying mantises falling from the ceiling or chickens roosting in the kitchen under a piece of tin foil (I distinctly dreamed that they got inside because someone left the door open - and I'm constantly reminding everyone to close the door and not let the flies in). Haha! The dreams just seem so real!
I'm still working out at the gym three times a week, although it's getting harder and harder to drag my body out of bed at 5:30am! On the days I don't go to the gym, I do pilates or something similar at home.
Lily told me the other day that I am growing, and then later the same day, she said, "mama, you're just getting fatter and fatter!" LOL I definitely feel like I'm growing! I really really need to go to Ross, Target, and the consignment store and try to find some maternity shirts! After Asher was born, I got rid of all my short sleeve shirts because after three pregnancies, they were pretty worn out. So far this pregnancy, I've been wearing regular t-shirts from Old Navy. I love them, but they are creeping up my belly to embarrassing heights (even with a long tank under them, they still look funny to be so far up my belly!).

27 weeks (taken after sufficiently pulling down my shirt. Ha!)
Nesting has hit full swing and I have the urge to organize and de-clutter everything! It's kind of hard to make a lot of progress with three little ones, but I've just been doing what I can each day. I've planned all the meals I want to get in the freezer. I've also been planning and putting together "busy box" type activities for the kids. They are loving them now, but I mainly want to have them as easy go-to activities once the babe is born.
We have a lot of room re-arranging that I'd like to get done before little girl is born. Lily is going to get a twin bed, the toddler bed will be moved to the boy's room for Levi, Asher will get Levi's crib, and Asher's crib (which matches Lily's dresser) will be moved back to the girl's room. Obviously the beds don't have to be re-arranged before baby is born, because she'll sleep in our room for awhile...but I'd kind of like to get the kids used to their new beds before adding a new baby. I just think it'll be easier for everyone! I am also hoping to make the "play room" side of our living room a little more organized and kid-friendly.
I had an appointment with my midwife 2 weeks ago. Everything was great with me and the baby. Her heartbeat is consistently in the 140's even when she's jumping around. She kept kicking the doppler last time. I'm measuring a week behind, which is normal for me.
I'm praising the Lord for a great pregnancy and the precious baby growing inside me!
