Showing off his sleepy face.

Maternity Clothes:

I've got a few normal dresses and stretchy pants I can wear, but the rest are maternity.

Gender:

It's a BOY!!! 

Baby Boy's Name:

Oliver Gammill

Oliver- after my Great Grandmother Olive / Gammill (like camel with a 'G')- Andrew's mom's maiden name, as well as Andrew's middle name

Movement:

Yes!  

Little man is very active these days and I love it.  He is pretty strong and makes his punches and kicks well known. He still rolls a lot so now you can see knees and a booty make their way across my stomach. 

*Favorite Bouncy Spot: my bladder

*Favorite Bounce Time: evening (5ish), bedtime.

Sleep:

Bathroom breaks are at about 2 a night and I'm pretty much a side sleeper now.

Pillow between the legs is officially a must.

What I miss:

Sometimes I just want to lay on my tummy. Not really gunna happen.

Cravings/Aversions:

Cravings: Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal (Mmmm...), Auntie Anne's Almond Pretzels with Carmel, pumpkin/squash anything, bean burritos (1st trimester craving is back)

Aversions: fish still doesn't sound good on any level, I especially don't want to smell it

Other Symptoms:

1- I've had some 1st trimester cravings and symptoms come back.  One of which is being tired.  Today I was able to take a stellar nap!

2- A few waves of nausea and food aversions (another first trimester appearance). In fact on our date last night I only ate the bread at dinner. =(

Big moment this week:

Today, I'm officially in my 3rd trimester, WOOHOO!!!

I also had my glucose test at the doctor today and passed.  I will say, I'm surprised anyone can pass drinking the syrup they give you, BLECH!
I can't believe I'm already at the bi-weekly appointments, crazy!
83 days and counting.

Thanks for checkin' in!!
