27 Weeks and a Date!

Due to uncontrollable circumstances that I don't care to rehash here on the blog, our actual anniversary was not very...anniversary-ish.  It wasn't anyone's fault, and we did have some nice moments in the day, but we were both hoping that it would be more than it was. 

So yesterday afternoon when Matt let me know that our bible study/small group meeting had been canceled, I called my mom to make sure she could still watch Jack for the evening, slapped on some eyeliner and pink nail polish, and called it a date!

My handsome husband!

This is the first picture that we have of just the two of us in quite a while.  Like, really...I can't think of the last one.  We didn't do anything fancy, just went to Viet Thai for some delicious Thai food.  Ironically, we hadn't been to eat there since I was pregnant with Jack...I don't know why because we both LOVE their food, we just never think to go there.

I am terrible at taking pictures of food...

Matt had the above pictured Chicken Satay, I had Chicken Pad Thai (which I meant to take a picture of, but ate so fast that there wasn't time for photos, it was delicious by the way).  After dinner we simply headed home to our handsome little guy, and I have to say...it was such a nice impromptu date night!

And now for the pregnancy portion of this post...

27 Weeks.  And although it may seem subtle to those of you who don't look in the mirror and see me everyday, my face is officially pregnant now (as is my rear end...but we aren't going to talk about that).  Ugh.

Annnnyway...I am officially into my third and final trimester now, and I am still feeling pretty good.  I am starting to get very achy in my hips (which happened with Jack as well) so I have been making an effort to take at least one decent walk with the dog at night once it cools down in order to keep from getting too stiff. 

Stats:

Weight Gain: I have an appointment next week...we will see the damage then! I'm assuming I have gained around 20 lbs total by this point...which is fine.  Aside from the whole 'fat face' issue.
Cravings: Watermelon and peanut butter.  NOT together. 
Sleep: Still pretty good at this point.  I wake up every now and then, but I can't complain!
Movement:  All.the.time.  His movement are starting to become more restricted as he grows, and boy oh boy is he getting strong!
Gender: It's a dude!
Milestones: Fat face strikes again? The big milestone this week is the start of the third trimester.  Yikes! Where did this pregnancy go?

So there you have it...two trimesters down, one to go!
