Life has been crazy the past few months in particular. Mostly at work, but of course lots of exciting things happening in other areas, too! It's hard to believe I am 27 weeks pregnant and nearing the third trimester. I continue to be grateful for such a smooth pregnancy! I have been feeling our little lady move for several weeks now, I still remember the first time I felt it. I was in bed lying still and felt a strange flutter in my belly. I had been waiting to feel her move, so I immediately thought "oh, this could be it!" but brushed it off until I knew for sure. The next morning at work, I felt the same flutter and knew I was finally feeling my daughter moving. It was pretty awesome!

I didn't think anything would top that until today, when, sitting at my desk, I looked down and saw my stomach moving! A little poke here, a little nudge there. Talk about strange! I sat there mesmerized for a while until it stopped and I continued working. When the poking started again, my eyes filled with tears and I was just so thankful that our little one is getting stronger and bigger. What a cool experience. It's hard to describe!

Everyone has asked if we have a name picked out, and no, we do not! We've taken a break from talking about it and hope the perfect one will hit us. Surprisingly, I am not stressed at all about it. I'm already prepared for not naming her until after we see her little face!

I have my glucose test on Wednesday, and already have a bag of gummi worms waiting to celebrate with upon the news of my passing (fingers crossed)! :)

Here I am at 27 weeks, finally starting to look pregnant!
