27 Weeks...Third Trimester??

There is so much conflicting information out there; my iphone app says my third trimester started yesterday, thebump.com agrees, but babycenter.com says it's next week...Anywhoo-It doesn't really matter. I just like announcing the milestones!!

Everything has been going pretty well lately! This lil guy is quite the kicker. I love sitting there and watching my whole belly shake and twitch. He also decided that he hates having is heart rate taken. Wherever the nurse put the doppler-thing, he would very visibly and viciously kick it off!

I'm still a nervous wreck as usual. This pregnancy has turned me into a serious hypochondriac! If he's moving too much I worry, if he's not moving enough, I worry! If I don't keep busy at work I will be consumed by my every thought!!

Last weekend, I was flying home from Denver on a recruiting trip and I swear I was going into labor. I felt very consistent tightening in my stomach for a couple of hours. Then it would stop, and start again! This happened from 11am until about 8pm!! I didn't want to worry Emerson, but I was definitely freaking OUT! I called the doctor, and they told me that it was most likely Braxton-Hicks contractions. Anybody else ever experience these so early?? They gradually stopped since then, but I'm afraid to fly again (regionals are two weeks from now, BTW)!

I love this little rambunctious dude in my belly. Emerson told me last night that he's jealous that I get to feel him move all day long. I thought that was cute. And I said, are you also jealous of my veiny boobs, expanding belly and butt, back pain, indigestion, heart burn, hunger, and no clothes to wear?! He's such a sweetheart, he literally does everything around the house these days. I couldn't ask for a better hubby!
