In the Home Stretch

While it's hard to say exactly when your third trimester starts, I believe we are there. "What to Expect When you are Expecting" says week 27 starts it. We are at the end of our 27th week, so I'm gonna say we are in the home stretch.

The baby is doing great, but I think this child is going to be just like me. My mom said I really didn't sleep much as a baby, and I think little Peanut is going to be similar. From what I've read, by this time in the development you can tell sleep patterns in the baby. Well, the sleep pattern that I'm noticing is basically AWAKE ALL THE TIME!!! So don't be surprised if Kim and I look like death warmed over for the next two years. ;)

On another note, I think I have found that my problem with the Braxton-Hicks was due to hydration. I've been on a couple of walks since, one with water and one without, and there was definitely a difference. So I'm working more on electrolyte balance than more water in-take since I'm drinking (and peeing) like a fish. (Do fish pee?)
