25, 26, 27

I've been really bad at blogging...again.  Here we go!

How far along: Today I'm 27w3d!  This post will cover weeks 25, 26, and 27.  Hopefully I'll get better at this in the next couple weeks!  Baby was the size of a cauliflower in week 25, a head of lettuce in week 26, and a rutabaga (what is that?!?!) this week.

Physical symptoms: I can feel 2nd trimester winding down.  Over the last week I've been more tired again in the afternoons.  I can easily take a 2 hour nap and still go to bed by 9:30.  Dang I miss that energy already!  Heartburn and indigestion has really picked up, too.  Apparently that means baby has hair???  Wouldn't be surprised considering his parents...

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was up 3 pounds between my 20w and 24w appointments.  This puts me down 2 from my first OB appointment.  Haven't weighed myself since 24w, but I'm sure I'll get an update at my appointment on Wednesday. 
 
Maternity clothes: Obviously in all maternity clothes.  Still loving my dresses!

Stretch marks: The ones that were there pre-pregnancy are getting bigger  Yuck.

Sleep: My hips are hurting a lot and the heartburn is wicked at night.  Doing ok though.

 

Best moment last week:  I passed my glucose test!  Little guy is moving all over the place all day (and night!) long.  You can see and feel it from the outside on a regular basis.  He's not hanging out on my bladder as much, so he must have flipped around in there. I also made some wall art for the nursery.  I think they turned out pretty good!  Oh and B is for....BLAKE!  That's right, our baby has a name.  Blake Donald Schwindenhammer.  WOOHOO!

 

Movement: Holy movement!  Most days I can see and feel my stomach move on the regular.  He did have a quiet day last week that freaked me out a bit, but he snapped out of it the next day.

 

Cravings:  Pretty much the same things...fruit, juice, milk.

Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!

Labor signs: Um, I would hope none!

Belly button: Normal.  Yes I just touched it to see.

 

What I miss: Nothing really.

What I am looking forward to: Shower on March 1!

Milestones:  Passed glucose test, feeling and seeing lots of movement, baby has a NAME!
