bump - 27 weeks!



27 weeks 5 days


Total Weight Gain:  According to my Doctor's scalee +20 so 140.  My appointments are now going to be every other weeks so I am going to stop weighing myself and just go by what they say.  Plus their scale says I am 2 lbs lighter so of course I am going to use their number!

Maternity Clothes:  Yep.  I was talking to my bestie Michael who is expecting a little girl this fall (we will force our girls to be BFFs) and I finally understand why women back in the day wore moo moos during pregnancy.  I mean I would love to basically wear a cloth tent.  Not everyday....but everyday to work because who cares what you look like at work.  I never thought I would be like this and cringed when my mother actually talked about moo moos but I GET IT.

Stretch Marks:  Nope!

Sleep:  I sleep hard and wake up exhausted.  I have never felt like this night after night before.

Best Moment of the Week:  Sitting on the patio with my friends in HHI having Matt demonstrate how he talks to the baby.  I was laughing so hard I wasn't breathing and almost peed my pants...can't be good for Baby Girl.

Miss Anything:  The usual...my old body and wine. 

Movement:  Baby girl is a mover and a shaker!

Food Cravings:  I craved a smoothie for days and finally picked one up.  Normally I eat smoothies to be healthy, this time I craved it.  I ate it with a bagel so I clearly wasn't thinking about my health.

Anything Make you Queasy or Sick:  Eggs, pizza, mexi

Girl:  Lady!

Symptoms:  I took my glucose test and tested negative!  I really freaked myself out since I have a major sweet tooth.  I am anemic so that means iron pills which means constipation.  Awesome - I can't wait to start taking them! 

Exercise:  I ran 4x @ 2.4 miles.  I walk hills.

Happy or Moody:  Very happy lately!

Looking forward to:  I need to get my shit together.  I have so much to do.  I need to get a newborn photographer, buy her outfits for this session, sign up for breastfeeding classes, meet with my HR to tell them I am pregnant, buy new bras because these things will not stop growing, decorate her nursery - serious work left to done there including finding fabric to have her bumper and crib skirt made, finish our living room, plan our vacation, find a dress for my showers, and probably a million other things.  I have this urge to complete everything by week 36.  I think once my Doctor said my appointments will be bi-weekly I started to panic.
