27 weeks

 Note: I'm still catching up and week 28 will also be posted this week.

How far along?: 27 weeks
How big is baby?: This week, baby weighs almost 2 pounds (about the size of a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with their legs extended.
Weight gain?: To be honest, I have not checked this week. I will have to wait until my OB appointment next week.
Stretch marks?: Lathering up to keep those bad boys away.
Maternity clothes?: I did give in the other day and head to Old Navy where I purchased a few summer dresses, a skirt and two tank tops. I have to agree these maternity clothes are more comfortable than my everyday wear.
Food cravings?: I have been craving chocolate chip muffins. I satisfied this craving yesterday :)
Sleep?: I can't complain because the last few weeks I have been sleeping the best I have all pregnancy
Gender?: Another male will be joining our household.
Exercise?: Walks and running after the kiddos. I find after a 30 minute walk, I have lots of pressure and don't really want to continue any further.
What's been going on? This week I had my dreaded glucose test. You know, the one where you have to drink that orange goop that doesn't not taste pretty and then wait an hour to be tested. I did not find out my results but likely will hear next week at my regular OB appointment. I have my fingers and toes crossed everything is perfect as I do not want to have to do the two hour glucose test (double yuck). I have been getting leg cramps again. I wake up at night in pain and I jump out of bed screaming to release the tension in my calf. Baby has been busy kicking away and letting me know when he wants some down time. We still have not decided on a name which has been extremely hard this time around.

The look on my face says "OMG, I can't believe I still have another trimester to get through!

Check out week 27 with baby #1 and #2 here.

27 weeks

 Weekly e-mail update:He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
How far along?: 27 weeks
How big is baby?: This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended.
Weight gain?: Up 13 pounds-feels like 30 though.
Stretch marks?: Not yet. Lathering up the lotion.
Maternity clothes?: Still using the belly band with my normal clothes. Not sure how much longer I am going to be able to rock out my normal jeans - the bum area is starting to get tight.
Food cravings?: Any kind of fruit - apples seem to be my fav this week.
Sleep?: I must say I can't really complain this week, sleep has been decent.
Gender?: We are going to have a son!
Exercise?: My exercise consists of cleaning, unpacking, more cleaning, and more unpacking.
What's been going on?: This past week has been a very busy one with the move happening. It has been go, go, go and it doesn't seem to be slowing down! Baby has been well, kicking away to let me know that I have a little human being growing inside of me. Started the name search, but are still without anything the hubby and I can agree on. I am scheduled to have my dreadful glucose test on Monday. I am really not looking forward to the test. Slurping down that awful tasting beverage and the feeling I got when I learned I had failed the first time around with Little Miss L... it has me a little on edge. We started working on the nursery and it is coming a long nicely. More photos to come soon.
