27 weeks

 

How Far Along? 27 weeks and 1 day! FYI I calculated the other day and we have 12 Saturday's (including her due date) left! But, since we cant count on anything after 37 weeks, we can't count on 4 of those Saturdays. I have plans for 5-6 of the remaining Saturdays. That means that Ben and I have 2-3 Saturdays to have everything ready and enjoy being "Just us." Scary and exciting all at the same time!

Baby Size: We're between 14.5 - 16.5 inches and about 2lbs

Total Weight Gain: I'm guessing we're up around 20lbs

Maternity Clothes: I'd like to wear PJ's all day, but that's not acceptable in society.

Stretch Marks: None yet that I see. Hopefully it'll stay that way...

Best moment this week: Getting some more nursery things from Heather!

Miss Anything?

Movement: Lord have mercy, can she move! She kicks at most any kind of pressure on my belly. She kicks for Ben the most, which is super cute... but when I want her to show off for people, she'll run and hide... I know people think I'm lying about how crazy and wiggly she is.

Food Cravings: I really wanted ribs today. I also really like having my Saturday morning French Toast. I really like having my milk in the morning.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Anything super greasy.

Started to show yet? Yep! Some people think I look like I'm due any day, and some can't believe that I only have around 12 weeks to go... but they all agree that I look pregnant now.

Gender: Girl!

Belly Button in or out? Ben told me yesterday: "I can see your belly button through your clothes!" and laughed when I told him I was seriously thinking about taping it down. At least it's not as far out as it could be... ALSO around my belly button is slightly blue-ish...

Wedding Rings on or off? On - but this morning my hands became so swollen that I had to take them off in the middle of church.

Weird Pregnancy Stuff? I HAVE THE WEIRDEST DREAMS IN THE WORLD. So far, I've nursed a litter of puppies and a few calves... then the other night, I squeezed a two foot plus, black inch worm/ blackhead out of my cheek. You think that's gross? You should have been in my dream.

 

I'm starting to waddle. I try to avoid it, but if I stand/walk or sit too long, my tailbone starts to hurt and my nerves get all pinch-y.

 

I'm fighting exhaustion on a regular basis.

 

Looking forward to: Holding my baby!
