27 weeks

I am officially in my 3rd trimester now! only 13 weeks left! Nothing too new to update, just growing as usual. She gets stronger by the day, she gets some little body part up under my right rib a lot and i have to push her out of there so she doesn't hurt me. Its starting to feel like she is a real little baby in there instead of just a fetus. She responds to us now, which is really neat. If you poke/push at her she will kick back in the same spot, probably just to tell us to get off of her but we think its cute. Its fun though to know she can respond already. Since she is so active, if i don't feel her for an hour or so it worries me so i can just give my belly a little tap and she will respond with a kick back which is comforting. Dave tries pushing on her to wake her up all the time so she'll kick him. He always seems to try it in bed before we go to sleep, i tell him this is the time we want her to sleep.
I am starting to get anxious for her arrival. I met someone at the pool the other day who had her little girl 2 months early, so it kind of hit me that its possible she could be here really soon. Although i hope and im sure she will be in there for another 13 weeks, I am very organized and hate to procrastinate so I am feeling the urge to get everything ready for her. I put together the swing and am starting to buy the left over items on our registry. The building/sanding stage of the dresser is complete, Dave is outside staining it right now. It looks really good! Its a full sized dresser instead of a baby one so she can use it when she gets older as well. Dave may build a new dresser for each child as a little something special for them. He will be a pro at furniture building after we finish having kids. I'll post a picture of the finished product soon.
