27 weeks

How far along? 27 Weeks

Baby Bump? She's growing, and it’s growing... fast. I can’t believe how much bigger I have gotten.

Maternity Clothes? Love maternity clothes. It’s the only way to stay comfortable and keep my growing belly covered.

Best moment this week:  Seeing our little girl in 3D. I couldn’t believe how much detail we could see. We saw her yawn a couple times, and she would clench and unclench her fists. It was amazing. The person who did our ultrasound said that she looks a lot more like her daddy. I think he’s cute, so I’m sure our little girl will be just darling!

Belly Button in or out: Definitely still in, I would be surprised if it ever pops out.

Miss anything?  I miss sleeping on my stomach and on my back, sometimes I can’t really get comfortable on my side.

Food cravings: Nothing new here. I love fruit, but food in general always sounds good to me.

This week baby is the size of: head of cauliflower… that seems pretty big. She should be about 14 ½ inches and 2 pounds now.

Happy or moody most of the time: I’m usually pretty happy.

Gender: BABY GIRL! 

Symptoms: Hungry, occasional heartburn, crazy dreams.

Sleep: Our little girl is definitely a night person. Right about the time that I lay down to go to sleep she decides that is when it is the most fun to kick and poke me. Once I'm asleep I am usually pretty good at staying asleep, but she is making it a little more difficult to do the falling asleep part. 

Baby’s development this week: Her brain is developing, she may start getting hiccups (I don’t think I have felt any yet). She is developing a sleep pattern, which I have started to notice more and more.

New Baby Items: This one of my good friends from work brought me in a baby gift. She won't be around at work for much longer (going on maternity leave) and won't be back until after I am gone. She gave me a whole box of little things. It is starting to get so much more real that we have a little baby on the way. I also started making a couple things to hang in the nursery. I will post some pictures when I am all done with them. We also ordered the crib and dresser online this weekend, so that should be coming in the next week or two. 

Looking forward to: Getting a crib. I feel like things will start feeling so much more real once we start setting up all of our baby stuff. Scott keeps asking me if we are close enough to the due date so he can put the car seat base in his car.  We are getting anxious for this babe to get here, but we understand that she still needs to grow and develop so she can be healthy.

Anything Else Going on: I think I am officially in the third trimester now. That’s a pretty big deal, 2/3 of the way done with this whole pregnancy thing. 

We also went out and registered at Target (and Amazon) over the weekend. Its overwhelming to think about all the little things that will come in handy once this little one arrives. We had fun registering for thing (not really sure what we will need or not need). This is getting real, Scott and I are going to be parents!
