Modern Day Knights: 27 weeks

Week 27
1-6-2012

Size of baby: the head of a cauliflower! OMG! He is getting huge! (Small I know, but compared to the poppy seed he started out as) 14.5 inches, 2 pounds

Total Weight Gain/Loss: when we went to the doctor on Thursday I am +3. The nurse and I talked about how little I am gaining and she said I'm gaining something so thats good. I'm eating & not throwing up so not to worry about it. (Everyone else says I'm probably about to blow up seeing as I am entering my third trimester)

Maternity Clothes: yes! I have decided I never want to wear pants that you have to button again. haha. It is so much easier to go the bathroom and just pull down your pants rather than having to unbutton them. : )

Gender:

Movement: more & more each week. Sometimes it hurts he kicks so hard but mostly when he moves I sit and beg him to keep moving. : ) He still moves a lot in the morning and before bed.

Sleep: better than last week now that I am done with my meds and can breathe again. Now the dog is the only problem keeping me from sleeping. Has anyone else had problems with their dog while pregnant? (like WONT sleep without you, has to be with you at all times)

What I miss: nothing this week I suppose. Pretty content with my tummy and growing little boy. : )

Cravings: this week I finally had some cravings. Totally random but I couldn't get enough or eat them fast enough. Are you ready?! Grapefruit, Root beer floats, & chili cheese fritos! HMMM YUMMY! I also have been eating cuties like they are going out of style. Citrus fruits have been my favorite since the beginning. And lemonade.

Symptoms: Well Tums became my best friend this week. Talk about HEARTBURN! Also, the burping that is painful and acidy- no fun. Two nights ago I was eating tums while I was eating dinner it hurt so bad. Good thing Tums taste so good. ; )

Big News this week:

I had my sugar test on Thursday. I was super nervous. I read all these horror stories of how terrible it was. Something is to be said that I actually liked the drink they made me drink. I thought it tasted delicious! And when she took my blood an hour later she told me I had great flow & pretty veins. Such a compliment. For real- my veins are terrible! I have to have pediatric needles & no one can ever get my blood to flow good. I was so proud that my veins were cooperating and my flow was good. : ) Oh the little things.
After my sugar test on Thursday I went upstairs and had my doctor appointment. He said everything is looking good. Measured my tummy and it was right on schedule. He told me that in a few weeks we should be able to feel his head down by my pubic bone- well he feels around and goes ohhh look at that he is already ready...you can feel his head perfectly when you push around down there! It's crazzzzyyy!!
We scheduled our 3d ultrasound!! I'm super excited. Our doctor just joined the hospital, not private practice anymore, so he won't be doing them anymore but he said he would do one last one for us! I am soooo excited to see his sweet little face! Tuesday is the big day.
Starting this appointment we will now be going to the doctor every two weeks. I love going to the doctor. I know we don't really do anything and its not that exciting but I just love it. I feel like when I'm there it's real.
My belly button is disappearing. It isn't poking out it gets smaller and smaller every day. My dad said his memory of my mom being pregnant was that her belly button just turned to skin so that must be whats happening to me. Its crazy- thought it would pop out, instead it is just going away all together!

Here is Week 26: - this photo is real life for sure. end of the day- tired, worn out makeup but me and baby none the less
