"You're in the home stretch. The third trimester typically starts this week and lasts until 40 weeks and sometimes even beyond. (Don't worry — 42 weeks is the maximum! After that, a woman usually is induced to give birth.) Most women gain an average of 11 pounds during this trimester.
By this week, your baby weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and measures about 14 1/2 inches. At about this time, your baby can open his eyes and turn his head in utero if he notices a continuous, bright light shining from the outside. The fat layers are forming and the fingernails appear."

I can tell Peanut is higher up because I get heartburn almost every night when I go to sleep. Also when my bladder gets full he kicks to remind me to empty it. Fiesty little bugger. I think my facial skin has finally returned to normal. My belly and legs itch sometimes. And I have two news friends, Moe & Curly, my matching stretchmarks. There is no way to prevent them so I might as well accept them.
The pouring rain and chilly temps haven't slowed me down. I'm on mission to get the nursery together. We went to B*aby Depot (inside Bu*rlington Coat Factory) because they have great prices (even cheaper than Ta*rget). Mom bought my crib for my shower gift. It was not only on sale but also had a rebate. I bought the crib bedding set. How cute are those little animals?
Now we need to figure out the cradle bedding. Because it is an antique it is not a standard size. We'll be doing some custom work to make sure everything fits correctly and is safe.
