27 Weeks Today

27 weeks and finally into my THIRD trimester! Yay!!

I'm feeling fabulous, despite being a tad awkward and lumbering in my new size.

Last week was the first week that total strangers have approached me about my pregnancy. One kind person offered me a seat on the bus and even when I felt bad and said, "oh, that's okay..." she insisted, saying that pregnant women should sit whenever they can. I couldn't say no to that. A second person came up to me at the wedding we attended last night and just said, "When are you due?"

Funny as it may sound, this kind of thing is a huge milestone to me. I feel that it's only been recently that I look "obviously pregnant" and I am really loving it.

Maya has been a busy little girl these days and I've been getting a real kick out of her movements lately (ha ha no pun intended). She is getting big enough now that I can feel some of her smaller movements as well as her kicks and punches and it's been great. Last night she had me giggling because she was doing some sort of weird poking thing with her hands (I think) right up near my ribcage. I have already projected such a silly personality onto her; I wonder if she'll be as silly as I think she is when I get to meet her this August.

Baby girl has also had the hiccups a couple of times and I have to admit, I think her hiccups are the sweetest and cutest thing ever. Totally, totally adorable.

Alright, onto some photos. I haven't had a chance to take any proper pictures of both of my new dresses yet, BUT I did wear one of them to the wedding we went to last night so here are some photos from that. You can't see much of the dress but they're fun pics of me and my hubby anyway...

Just wanted to say that I'm glad that you don't have gestational diabetes! Also you look really pretty in your pictures. Hope you and your hubby had a great time at the wedding.

You two are adorable. I think that Maya will be a great (and also adorable) addition to your little family.

OMG! Maya is going to be GORGEOUS! Look how cute the two of you are!!!

P.S. I have been reading just not commenting lately. I haven't been sleeping well at night so no cute comments but know I am thinking about you!
