27 Week Update...

27 weeks and 2 days

 Can you believe we are less that 13 weeks away from meeting our little boy!?!?  That is insane to me.  13 weeks does not seem like very long to me and I know we have a lot to do in the mean time so I expect it will fly by...which is fine with me.  I have been feeling great this week!  I've had more energy which means we've gotten a lot accomplished over the weekend and all those not so fun pregnancy symptoms haven't been so bad this week.  Enough about me though, here is a little update on Hampton.

• Size of baby: Baby Hampton is about 2 lbs. 6 oz as we learned at our doctor's appointment this week.

  
  
• What is baby Skinner up to?  He is still practicing his breathing and is getting ready to pack on some of that baby fat!

  
  
• Maternity clothes? Are in full force!!!
• Sleep: Has been great this week...at least when I'm staying asleep!  We flipped out mattress this week which seemed to help my aching back (somewhat!)  I've had a busy week at work so I'm thinking that also contributed to my good sleep this week.  On the other hand, I have started to wake up every night around 1:30 or 2 a.m. and I am wide awake.  Sometimes for an hour or two...not sure where that is coming from.

• Movement:  We're moving and shaking!  During those sleepless times of night, I have found that Hampton is having a good ole time in my belly!  But it doesn't wake me up or keep me awake so I don't mind it.    

• Best moment this week:  Seeing our sweet baby at our ultrasound!  He has grown so much and he's definitely looking like his daddy.  It made us even more excited for him to be here. ***Another awesome moment this week was finding out that some VERY special friends of ours are expecting their own little one this summer!  I am so excited Hampton will have a little friend to play with!!

  
  
• Food cravings: Still stuck on the orange juice, cheerios, strawberries, pineapples and apples with peanut butter.

  
  
• Gender: Baby Skinner is a BOY!  Hampton Mac Skinner
  
  
• What I miss:  Not a thing!

• Pregnancy Symptoms:  Still having the regular back pain but that's really it!

• What I am looking forward to:  Starting the third trimester!  It is crazy to me that we are now in the home stretch of this experience.  We are one step closer to holding our little Hampton and we are growing more eager with each day!
