Dear Aviva,

Today I am 27 weeks pregnant with you. This marks the beginning of my third trimester. It is very surreal to think that I started this blog as a way to cope with the uncertainties of the first trimester. Now here I am at the last leg of this pregnancy and I am most concerned with hurrying this thing up so I can meet you already!

I haven't got much else to say right now... I am very sleepy and am going to try to clock in some hours tonight. I've been super uncomfortable the last week or so and it has kept me from sleeping more than just a few hours a night. Each night I go to bed around 9 or 10 and yet I don't manage to drift off until 3 am or so. Oh well, it gives me lots of time to browse the internet for stuff to buy for you.

Speaking of stuff for you, I got us a wrap sling carrier for when you are an itty bitty newborn. This will allow me to carry you with me at all times but will keep my arms free to do other things if necessary. It will also hopefully make it easy for us to get out of the house for walks and stuff. From what I've read, almost all newborns love to be carried this way, as it keeps them close to their mommas or dads. I hope you like it, baby girl. I'm so excited about putting it to use that I almost put the cat in for a ride.
