Pregnancy update-

I am 27 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I feel pretty accomplished since I'm entering into the third trimester. Sometimes it is still a surprise to wake up with a belly sticking out. Only complication: placental lakes, not a huge concern but the possibility of problems is there so my doctor has me getting an ultrasound once a month until she's here.

My little girl weighs two pounds and is growing fast. I nearly cry every time I look at the scale, 15ish pounds gained to me so far. It's going to be a pain to get the weight off but at least I have a gym membership and motivation to go. She is growing PERFECTLY. 48th percentile for growths. She isn't going to be a huge baby yay! Oh and the name I havent changed my mind on: Brooklyn Rene Gutierrez. I already call her B because I don't really like Brooke all that much but oh well.

Josiah and I are moving in together. I'm nervous as hell about that but I think it will work out for the best. We get along really well and he can experience everything with me. We are looking at three bedroom places though. Josiah isn't too keen on the idea, but I'm going to try and let Marlena move in with us. She is losing herself living alone and I could use the extra help. Plus, with the three of us working and going to school on different schedules, I don't think I'll need childcare yet. So I'm hoping to be in there by November 1st.

Baby showers are soon!!! The one with my friends is 10/23 and the one with my family is 10/30. Work will probably do something too but there are four of us who are pregnant. I feel like there are a lot of people I didn't invite simply because I haven't seen them in order to tell them I was pregnant. I saw an old friend the other day and she invited me to a party and I just pointed at my stomach.. apparently it's not as obvious as I thought it was.... anyway, she freaked and asked me a million questions. It's so difficult to answer some of those questions... not difficult but more annoying. Yes, I am keeping her. She's MINE!

Current fears:
my water breaking in a final
being put on bed rest
her being really late and not having time before spring semester starts
getting postpartum depression.
