Week 27

 

I've got a nice basketball in there!

How far along: 27 weeks 3 days --- very late with this post, sorry.

Days to due date: 12 weeks 4 day ---- whoaaaa!!!

Total weight gain: I'll guess 21+- pounds. 

Maternity clothes: Yessir.

Sleep: Been pretty good this week. Minus attempting to sleep in a sitting position because of a stuffy nose. Our house is sooo dry. Getting a humidifier for our bedroom this weekend.

Best moment this week: Sewing, sewing, sewing for Baby K! I got all the things I wanted done for the diaper bag, and diaper bag came in the mail, too!! So I have it all packed (yeah, I'm a dork). And girls days in Fargo (more on that later.)

What I miss: Not having a constant stuff nose. Painless, non-uncomfortable nights.

Movement: Yep - quieter this week, but moving all around. 

Food cravings: Apparently everything this week. Any commercial on TV makes me want to eat the product. I made honey butter (bad idea) and almost ate a whole role of buiscuts with it. 

Making me queazy: Nothing.

Starting to show: Yep. This belly button keeps getting smaller and smaller. 

Gender: Sweet baby boy. 

Happy or moody: Happy. :)

Things I've been experiencing this week: Having a hard time breathing sometimes, especially in certain positions. I've also been having super vivid, weirdo dreams. 

AND, my belly gets lopsided at times and protrudes out in little places from a head or a little butt or footsie :) When I try to lift up my shirt to watch, he stops, that little bugger. I love seeing him move. 

• Alphamom.com says: "May notice more of that pesky round ligament pain as your belly gets harder and bigger and rounder, or as it starts to dip down a little bit, looking a little less perky and cute than it did a few weeks ago."  -- I'm constantly sore in my lower pelvis area. My belly is a funny shape, I think. It's more of an egg than a soccer ball. I feel like I'm carrying low, too - like it hasn't filled all the way up yet (probably do to my rock hard upper abs... maybe not). But I'm looking forward to a full out found belly as it continues to expand. 

What I'm looking forward to: Well, I had a lovely girls weekend in Fargo a few days ago :) I should have posted this before we left, but I didn't get the photo in time. It was sooo much fun --- shopping, eating too much and pedicures. Oh, and wedding dress shopping for my best friend's wedding next January!! It was soooo nice to hang out with everyone. 

Size of baby: A slightly larger eggplant than last week or a head of cauliflower - 15 inches and over 2 pounds!
