27 Weeks

Look at that belly! My word it just popped up out of no where! Confused as to why the last post was 23 weeks and this is now 27 weeks?

As a review- "14 is our lucky number" I announced that we (both mommy and baby) were measuring two weeks ahead.  So Dr. H ended up moving up our due date.  So on Thanksgiving I was actually 26 weeks instead of 24.  And with all of the excitement of my parents being down I forgot to take a picture.  So this week I am officially 27 weeks pregnant!  As the chalkboard says we are officially in our third and last trimester! Woohoo.  I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going- pretty soon we'll be sending this kid to college.

How far along: 27 weeks down, 13 weeks to go

This week baby is the size of: a head of califlower.  Bebe is measuring nearly 15 inches long from the top of the head to the tip of the toes and weighs a little over 2 pounds. WOW.

Next appointment: December 7th

Stretch marks: My mom informed me while she was here for Thanksgiving that I do have some. THANKS MOM. 

Swelling: I had to take my wedding rings off, so I guess my fingers have swollen a little bit- but I can't notice any swelling anywhere else.  Except that belly up there- can you believe how much it has grown :)

Maternity clothes:  I'm pretty much in materntiy clothes all the time now.

Belly button: It's getting shallower by the day... Matt seems to think it will turn in to an outie by the time this kid arrives.  It is a strange phonmenon to watch.

Sleep: I have been waking up earlier than usual and lying in bed having mommy and baby time.  I do eventually end up falling back asleep for an hour or so.  I also have mommy and baby time (with daddy sleeping peacefully beside us) at night time too.  I can't seem to lay on my right side anymore- I usually get a sharp pain in my right upper rib area.

Movement: Definetly feeling more movement! Bebe is still pretty shy around daddy though. 

Labor signs: no.

 

What I miss: I miss some old friends I haven't seen in awhile.  I knowthat friends come and go-- and  with life changes that more friends will probably come and go.  But it doesn't make not seeing people any easier. 

What I'm loving: This baby! I love feelign the bumps and kicks.

What I'm looking forward to: working on the alphabet wall in the nursery and getting the nursery painted

Milestones: We've hit the third trimester!

Goals: work on that nursery!
