Week 27

Baby is the Size of a Bunch of Bananas 

Well, hello third trimester!  It's so nice and terrifying to meet you.  I am not sure where the time has gone, but it is flying by!  I can't believe he will be here in less than three months.  I feel so ready, but also completely unready.  Is that parenthood?

On Tuesday we had a doctor's appointment.  I passed my glucose test, heard his heartbeat, and discussed pediatricians and prenatal classes. Now we have an appointment every two weeks- fun!

27 weeks, 4 days

Baby H can control his lungs and regulate his body temperature.

The most wonderful part of this week was my baby shower!  We were so blessed to have so many family and friends travel from near and far to celebrate baby H!  It was so wonderful and I'm not sure how I got so lucky to have such amazing people in my life.  Thank you especially to Kristin and Sandy for throwing my shower and making it so perfect!  You can look at all 100 pictures on my facebook album, but here are a few of the adorable details and beautiful people!

How far along? 27 weeks

Maternity clothes? Nothing else fits so... 

Stretch marks? I feel like he (me) quadrupled in size this week, but my skin seems to be stretching without the marks! 

Sleep: HA.  Naps are back in my life when I can squeeze them in. 

Best moment(s) this week: There are SO many this week!

-Hearing all is still well at the doctor

-Spending time with so many out of town friends and family members

-The BABY SHOWER!  It was seriously so fantastic.

-Having off two days of work (thank you veterans!)

Miss Anything? All the people in my life!  Can everyone just move to Jacksonville, PLEASE?!? Also, champagne. 

Movement: He's an active little thing.  Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but it's always a relief to feel him move and know he's ok in there. 

Food cravings: The usual- anything coated in sugar and deliciousness.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing stuck out this week    

Gender: A boy with a very excellent wardrobe 

Labor Signs: Just the occasional Braxton Hicks contractions- they are very rare though.  

Symptoms:

-Exhaustion- I find myself getting worn out quickly and having to stop and rest more often

-Headaches

-Weight gain- 16.8 lbs 

Belly Button in or out? In, but I'm not sure what shape it is anymore. 

Wedding rings on or off? Still on!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I lost patience pretty easily this week at work, but considering I'm sleep deprived and off balance I'd say I'm still in good spirits. 

Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery!  The crib is in there and absolutely gorgeous!  I already inundated you with pictures this week, so I'll save those for next time.  I put away everything from the shower this morning and it's all coming together so beautifully!  Once the changing table is complete the room should be finished and I can't wait to show you!
