I canNOT believe that the third trimester is already here (I think there is debate about whether it starts at 27 or 28 weeks... either way, I'm already feeling some of the tiredness setting in)! Little Karis continues to grow and squirm everyday. I'm not sure if I'm carrying her much different than I did Enoch, but I do know that she is a little space hog! She is constantly kicking and pushing her way toward more room, especially if I lean forward, slouch, or hold Enoch in my lap. haha!In case you're wondering, here are some stats from this pregnancy so far (I'm technically 27 weeks today):
- Karis is around 2 pounds and 14.5" long.
- I've gained around 10 pounds.
- She squirms all day on and off, and I'm starting to see little body parts push out of my stomach with some of her larger moves.
Also, as I'm sure you can tell in the above photo, I went ahead and chopped my hair back into a pixie cut again to prepare for baby Karis' arrival. The whole long hair gig was just not my thing (at least during this phase of life) because it took too much time and work, and it was always getting pulled and/or in the way. So I went with something short and simple. It takes me a fraction of the time to wash it in the shower, and styling it takes 10 min max. We'll see how this short do holds up after baby (probably the hardest part is keeping it cut often enough), but for now I'm optimistic and loving the short length!
And speaking of getting ready for Karis' arrival, I've just started working harder at getting ready for labor and delivery. I've been thinking back to last time and setting some goals to help me better prepare this time (not that I wasn't prepared last time, but I'm just trying to learn from that experience). More on that in a later post though!

Your hair looks so good! That was how you had it when we first met you all, so that is how I will always picture you, I think. Wow, you've only gained 10 pounds so far--being pregnant with another little one to chase keeps you busy, doesn't it?! :-) Hope you are able to get the time to prepare for the birth that you want. I find it's always hard to balance needing exercise with also needing rest! We miss you all; Nathan was talking about Hugh just the other day.
You look great! Congrats on little Karis! So happy for you all!
Thanks, Becca & Tiffany! Yes, I've been much busier chasing Enoch during this pregnancy, for sure!! ;)
Tiffany, we miss you guys too, & we miss our class oh-so much!! Glad to see that little Leah is doing well on fb. :) Thanks for keeping up with us!
