27 weeks

So depending on which book you look at I'm in my third trimester today or next week, but either way time is flying! I went to the doctor yesterday because I've had this really annoying cough lately. The last time I went to the doctor they told me it was a virus that my body would have to fight off. However, here I am 3 weeks later with the same cough! So I went back and they told me the same thing, it's just taking my body longer to fight it off because I'm pregnant, which compromises my immune system.
While I was there they listened to Landon's heartbeat. She asked me how he was laying and I told her based on where I'm getting most of my kicks (he seems to be laying diagonally with his head up near my ribs on the right hand side and feet down a bit below my left hip). She used that to guess where his chest would be and we were right on! Although he didn't want to stay still! The doctor couldn't stop laughing because he wouldn't stop squirming around! I swear this kid doesn't sleep, he's constantly on the move!
They also took my weight (boo!) and I'm now at the weight I was before I got pregnant. I guess I can't be mad about that since, if I hadn't lost the weight, I'd be a lot more! I'm thinking I need to give up the Butterfinger Blizzards I've been getting on a weekly basis though!
Oh and I'm going to get a MUCH needed haircut tomorrow. I haven't gotten a haircut since September, so I have a lot of hair to get rid of! I'm thinking about a good 8-9 inches are going. Maybe then at my next doctor's appointment I'll have lost weight from having cut my hair! Lol

Here is what is going on with Landon and I this week:
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
The second trimester is drawing to a close, but as your body gears up for the final lap, you may start noticing some new symptoms. Along with an aching back, for example, you may find that your leg muscles cramp up now and then. They're carrying extra weight, after all, and your expanding uterus is putting pressure on the veins that return blood from your legs to your heart as well as on the nerves leading from your trunk to your legs. Unfortunately, the cramps may get worse as your pregnancy progresses. Leg cramps are more common at night but can also happen during the day. When a cramp strikes, stretching the calf muscle should give you some relief. Straighten your leg and then gently flex your toes back toward your shin. Walking for a few minutes or massaging your calf sometimes helps, too.
