27 Weeks

How far along: 27 Weeks

Total weight gain: + 16.5 pounds

Sleep: Has not been the greatest this past week. I’ll have one good night, one bad night, etc. Little man is definitely keeping me awake with all of those kicks!

Best moments: Steve was on travel this week Monday & Tuesday night but while talking at night I had a speaker hooked up to my phone up against my belly and just Steve’s voice got the baby excited and moving around :)

Movement: LOTS! Especially at night still.

Symptoms: Heartburn is like 95% gone! Just out of nowhere, it stopped. So weird!

Maternity clothes: Did lots of maternity shopping this past week. I got several items at the Purple Cow, including some new tops for work. I also went shopping this weekend at West County and the Mills Outlet Mall and got a couple dresses to possibly wear to my showers!

Food cravings: Pretty normal…no pickles and ice cream, that is for sure (well, maybe a little of the ice cream J). We were grocery shopping Friday night at about 9pm and I really wanted a rice krispy treat from the bakery, but then I decided to just make them myself! I made them that night! Haha!

Food aversions: Nope.

What I'm eating: Milk & cereal, turkey sandwiches, apples, chicken tacos, veggies & dip, guacamole & chips, popcorn, turkey tenderloin, sweet potato fries, grilled chicken sandwich, Girl Scout cookies, rice krispy treats, etc.

Exercise: Went on a couple walks with mom & Aunt Erin at the trail this week. It was so nice! Friday did a major clean on the house, and Saturday a lot of walking while shopping :)

Gender: I should just take this one off…LOL…BOY!

What I miss: Sleeping through the whole night.

What I am looking forward to: Our next baby class! The first 2 have been really informative and our instructor is really great. The best part is the last 15 minutes where the moms get to sit on the floor in front of the dads while they give us messages and we listen to relaxing music. I wish I could go straight to bed right after that, but unfortunately we have to get up and drive home still!

Milestones: Not really all baby related, but just getting a lot accomplished this weekend:

And I’m sure there is more…just can’t remember right now!
