27 Weeks

How far along? 27 Weeks

Total weight gain: 24 lbs
Maternity clothes? Only the pants in this photo, but yes, lots of maternity.
Stretch marks? Same ones as before
Sleep: I'm gonna say this week has been half\half. Still having congestion issues, and 2 nights ago i had just about the worst night ever. Just plain insomnia, just plain laid in bed for HOURS not able to fall asleep. Then of course once i finally did, Emelyne woke up 2 hours later. MOST.IRRITATING.THING.EVER!
Best moment this week: A lot of good moments actually! Been getting some things done around here which feels awesome, and today was just about the greatest day in awhile! Went to town with Sara and shopped and laughed and ate to our hearts delight!!
Miss Anything? Shall i REALLY start and go down this road? This could open a whole big can-o-complaining!
Movement: All the time, but i did decide that he moves around about 80% of the time, it's a LOT!
Food cravings:  Of course not crave per-say but i did have to indulge today in some Raisinets. They just sounded sooo good!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not particualarly, i have successfully stayed off my ani-nausea medicine! Finally as i enter into my 3rd trimester i am finally off them! I start to feel panicky, very light headed\faint when i get hungry now instead of feeling sick. It's more back to normal, the hypo-glycemic thing.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: Nope, just the Braxton hicks!
Symptoms: I do NOT know how this could possibly get any worse but i seriously have to pee like every 15 minutes sometimes. I feel so stretched to the max already that i want to cry thinking about how much worse\bigger i will get. I had a couple days this week where i literally wanted to saw my leg off i was having such bad leg pains\aches\cramps. The cramps are the worst at night but i have soreness\pain during the day. Thankfully it eased up after a couple days.
Belly Button in or out? still holding on as an innie for now!
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Well, as of tomorrow i've reached my next milestone, 28 weeks! So i'm excited about that. Also i found out today at the doc that they will still be doing another ultrasound (i'd thought we were done with those!) but this should be the last (being it goes well) and it won't be for another 8 weeks, when i'm at 36 weeks. They need to check the postition of the baby\placenta again to make sure everything's a-okay for a hopefully natural birth. Short term my next goal is 32 weeks, or to my next doctor appointment.

I officially declare......................nesting mode! That's right, it has happened already. I've been struck by the bug. Maybe a little early but that okay with me! It feels so good to finally have the burning desire to actually commit and get to getting things done! The nursery is still not underway BUT it has been totally cleaned out and is ready for demo. I went thru some cabinets\cupboards, cleaned out the garage a little, and got some more things hung up on the walls that have been sitting for the past year, AND finally got my coffee table painted\put together after a year of it sitting in the garage. So YAY to progress! Slowly but surely, and i couldn't have done it without the help of my friend\personal mover\lifter upper, Sara! Thanks & thanks again! I plan on posting some pics of the house, a house tour if you will, pretty soon, so look for that post in the near future! Ta-Ta for now! =)

P.S Reminder to self: Do NOT have my picture taken first thing in the morning. Yikes i couldn't look more tired! Hopefully a better, brighter picture for next week.
