27 Weeks



How far along?

27 Weeks.

Total weight gain/loss:
25 Pounds.

Gender:
It's a Girl!!  Her first name is Macy.   Still working on the middle name.  Baby Steps.

Size of baby:
Macy weighs about 2 pounds.  She is about the size of a head of cauliflower, and is about 14.5 inches from head to heel.

Maternity clothes?
Yes Please!!  I only have a few t-shirts left that fit.  I wore one of my cute new maternity shirts the other day.  I can't really wear normal bras anymore because the underwire rubs on my belly and irritates my skin.

Stretch marks?
The Mederma stretch mark therapy cream costs $40 for less than 6 ounces.  I'm waiting for payday on that one.  Still none on my belly.

Sleep:
Oh I wish.  I have been waking up in the night to go to the bathroom.  Last night I slept from midnight until 5:30 am without waking up.  It was a pretty good night of sleep, all things considered.  I guess my body is preparing me for those late-night feedings.

Best moment this week:
Talking to Daddy and telling him what she has been doing, and knowing that I am in my 3rd trimester now!

Movement:
She has been moving a little bit less.  I think she might be running out of room.  Her movements have started to get uncomfortable from time to time.  She still wakes up and moves any time I am still.

Food cravings:
HUNGRY.ALL.THE.TIME.  I crave sugar and salt.  Chocolate and french fries.  Not together though.

Symptoms:
The nosebleeds have made a comeback in the last week.  I'm exhausted, and I pee about 30 times a day.  My back pain has gotten worse, and in general I just have a hard time getting around.  So basically I'm almost 7 months pregnant.

Belly Button: in or out?
Still in.

Rings: on or off?
Off at night and while I exercise, on the rest of the time.

What I miss:
Having Spencer sleep in the bed with me when Daddy is gone.  He wakes me up all night, so I had to banish him to the crate.

What I am looking forward to:
Letting Daddy see my belly on Skype if he can ever find a Wi-Fi connection.

  2. I'm looking forward to it too! I keep forgetting that tomorrow is my birthday. That's what happens when you get old.
