27 weeks!

Today marks: 27 weeks, 2 days - I am 5 days away from the 3rd trimester

How much weight gained so far (optional): 20-21 pounds....(as I sit on my couch eating Harry & David's Moose Munch at 9am!)

How I'm feeling these days: I feel pretty good! No back pain yet! I do have to use the restroom A LOT during the night, so I'm not getting a lot of sleep. I better get used to it, right?

Exciting News/Milestones: I received a phone call on Thursday that our Nursery furniture has arrived!!! Wes and I have plans to drive to Tampa after Christmas to pick it up! It was a great Christmas present from Trish & Larry! (Now we just need to paint the nursery before then!)

Holiday Plans: Last year Wes worked Christmas Eve & Christmas Day, so I am very excited he has both days off this year. We don't really have big plan for Christmas Eve, except we might go to church and maybe paint the nursery. However, Christmas Day will go something like this:
-Make reindeer & Santa pancakes
-Lie in bed watching Christmas movies
-Make a ham dinner with all the fixings
-Go see the new Sherlock Holmes movie
Sounds nice, right!

According to The Bump, Anderson is experiencing these changes during week 27:


Baby's lungs are going through some major developments these days, which (combined with the opening of previously plugged nostrils) means he's now able to practice inhaling and exhaling. The lack of air in your womb means every "breath" is filled with amniotic fluid, but hey -- it's progress.
