27 Weeks

We have reached the third trimester!  I am SO excited to be in the final third of this pregnancy!  I am trying to enjoy the pregnancy and not wish away my last few months of sleeping in, but I cannot wait to meet our Little Man :)  This week he decided that he really needed to make his presence more prominent so I seemed to grow every single day. 

Easter Sunday

We had a very nice Easter with a lovely sermon followed by lunch with some friends. It was great to have J home this year since he has been gone for Easter the past few years.  While I was at my parents house last week I developed an addiction to Reese's Pieces Eggs (the eggs are much better than regular Reese's Pieces to me for some reason) so I had to run to the store here and pick some up because I NEEDED them.  That was probably the strongest craving that I have had during this pregnancy.  Fortunately, I was able to pick up a few bags at Target on Monday so I have a little stash :) 

27 Weeks- Growing Daily

I went back to work this week after having had a very enjoyable spring break and I have to say that the Kindergarten chairs, which weren't exactly comfortable to begin with, are now very uncomfortable for me to sit in.  Unfortunately, to be able to see my patient the way I need to to do my job, I have to sit in them and I'm pretty sure they are just going to get less and less comfortable every week.  The Little Man showed his displeasure with the mini chairs every time I sat down by repeatedly kicking me right in the bladder.  Every. Single. Time.  I don't think he likes the way that my legs are pushing into his space when I'm sitting that low.  I'm going to see my doctor this week so I will have to ask her if she has any recommendations to help me with this problem (like maybe recommending that I quit a few weeks earlier than planned :) 

Now onto the regular update:

How far along: 27 weeks
Baby is the size of a: head of cauliflower- he should weigh about 2 1/2 lbs now
Total Weight Gain: 12 lbs- probably thanks to all of the Reese's Pieces Eggs

Maternity Clothes: yep

Sleep: I have been really lucky with sleep so far!  I am trying to enjoy every single day that I get to sleep in because I know those days will be ending very soon.

Best Moment of the Week: Celebrating Easter!

Miss Anything: not being uncomfortable at work

Movement:  Baby M has been kicking me like crazy this week, especially when I sat in mini chairs- he doesn't like to have his space cramped

Food Cravings: Reese's Pieces Eggs

Symptoms: Just generally feeling big, a little back pain from the kinder chairs.  I have been lucky and not dealt with any swelling or major pains yet.

Labor Signs: none yet, thank goodness

Belly Button In or Out: In!  I don't think it is going to pop out for at least a few more weeks

Looking Forward To: My doctor's appointment this week and also having two of J's brothers visit next weekend.
