27 weeks

How far along? 27 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: Up 20 lbs. Hubba hubba.

Maternity clothes: Most definitely. I’ve already had to retire a few maternity shirts that are now too short.

Stretch marks: Same ones

Sleep: Horrible. If I’m not waking up to pee, I’m waking up hungry. And then there are times that I just can’t sleep. Momsomnia.

Best moment this week: I had a great doctor’s appt this past week. I’m now going every TWO WEEKS! Eeeek!

Movement: I can basically feel everything now. Once this week, I could feel his foot move from the top of my belly all the way to the bottom. He must be practicing his stretches!

Food cravings/aversions: Crystal Light. I’ve been so thirsty lately, which irritates me because that just means more trips to the bathroom.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: Nope

Belly button in or out: I’m not going to officially say it’s out yet, but usually by the end of the day it’s poking out a little.

What I miss: NOT PEEING 574 TIMES A DAY.

What I am looking forward to: Scheduling our 4D ultrasound soon

Weekly wisdom: It’s ok to say no.

Milestone: Well I’m on maternity leave from the praise team. I think I made it further when I was pregnant with Noah, but this time around I’m just in a lot more pain. I’m very sway-backed anyway, so add 20 pounds to my stomach and you can imagine how awesome that feels. I’m having a lot of lower back pain and restless legs, which I’m assuming is due to the fact that little one is sitting on some nerves. So I’m having to take a break from a few things to ensure the health of Mommy and Cason!
