27 weeks, baby 5

2 more weeks come and gone!  I'm inching out of the second trimester, which is just insane.  Next Wednesday I cross that threshold.  Jim told me the other night that I'm looking " 3rd trimester-y" now.  Thank you, Jim. ;) I think me meant, "Your abdomen is dominated with a person and your being is very round."  I'm cool with that though.  Round isn't a bad look.  I'll embrace it.  I'll take round over flab ANY day.

Here's the belly proof:

As for how things are going:One word: awesome.  I love this point.  I have been working out more and more consistently and while I kind of feel like a ninety year old and I have to modify a lot, and I have to slow down and pause so my ticker doesn't over-heat, I feel really good to be pushing myself.  I figure that if my legs are burning and I'm sweating, progress is being made even if I look fairly dough-boy-ish.  In all honesty, it feels great to stay active.  I don't always WANT to, but I'm really happy I am.  

Other than that things are boring.  I feel her hiccup once or twice a day.  She nudges me with her little feet, but she doesn't kick-kick me.  None of my kids were big movers and she's following suit.  I am hoping and praying she's a calm little peaceful being because Emily is giving me a RUN FOR MY MONEY.  That child is... well, she's something else.  I'm longing for a mellow chill peanut.  We shall see. 

Next week I have an appointment and get the glucose test and blood work.  At some point I switch to appointments every two weeks, at which point things get REAL.  

Otherwise we are living life and enjoying things.  The weather is gorgeous.  June is wrapping up school and the rest of us have been out and about just enjoying the awesomeness that June brings. :)
