4 weeks later

How far along? 27 weeks. 3rd Trimester!
Total weight gain/loss: glad our scale doesn't work. 
Maternity clothes? received some maternity clothes from my niece a few weeks ago. i was able to get a pair of capri jeans, several shirts and tank tops, and some dress shirts (just in case). my dear mother has also purchased several dresses and shirts for me <3 
Stretch marks? asked my mom if i gave her stretch marks and she said "no", so i think i am in the clear as long as i stay hydrated and moisturize.  
Sleep: weirdest dreams of my life. have started sleeping on my left side as much as possible and may have to perminantly switch sides of the bed with josh soon because i avoid getting up to pee even though its not until morning. 
Best moment this week: father's day josh felt the baby kick for the second time while in church. this made me cray especially since our friend bryan immediately said "happy father's day" after seeing the excited look on josh's face. the baby has been moving so much that josh was finally able to see my stomach move. josh is also becoming more comfortable with touching my bump on his own accord. this makes me smile.  
Have you told family and friends: a stranger rubbed my belly two weeks ago so i think the word is out. 
Miss Anything? i have had a few odoul's  over the past few weeks so this is curbing my alcohol desire. i guess i miss soft cheeses from time to time, other than that i am not really missing anything in particular. 
Movement: more and more every day. some have even caught me off guard to the point they have made me jump. being able to see the movement is the craziest thing.
Food cravings: had a lot of sugary treats last week while in michigan but i think they weren't so much cravings as they were being placed in front of me.
Anything making you queasy or sick: if i dont eat regularly i feel hunger pangs a little stronger than i used too. i am praying that the queasy and sick feelings of first trimester will not rear their ugly heads this last trimester.
Have you started to show yet: baby is 2 lbs now..hard to hide it. however, if i take a straight on photog it appears that i am just a little thicker.   
Gender prediction: we have three girls names and only one boy name nailed down as viable options. i assume by this we are having a boy.  
Labor Signs: tightness in my belly from time to time but most of the time labor free for another 13 weeks.
Belly Button in or out? i am amazed how much smaller my inny becomes each day.
Wedding rings on or off? i am swelling more from the extreme heat and humidity...my hands have fell victim to this a few times and i have had to remove my rings because of it. luckily, it is not a constant thing and i am able to still wear them. it makes me feel weird when they arent on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: i have had my moments but for the most part i am happy. the lower right part of my back has been aching a lot more lately so this leaves me in a grumpy mood by days end.  
Weekly Wisdom: God is good all the time. 
Looking forward to: fixing up baby's room is next on the agenda. i am looking forward to baby being here but i am also enjoying these last few moments as just husband and wife.
