Baby P {27 Weeks}

how far along?  27 weeks

how are you measuring?  ??

size of baby? 14 1/2 inches long, almost 2 pounds, and about the weight of a head of cauliflower

heartbeat? 153 bpm (at our 25 week appointment)

total weight gain/loss? ?? not sure i want to know!

maternity clothes? Pretty much all the time, loving the warmer weather we've been having so I can wear skirts and dresses to work instead of the 3 pairs of pants I have that fit.

stretch marks? I haven't seen any, but I def. have the dark line down my belly and I found varicose veins on my ankles... sick out!
sleep? about the same... still having to switch sides every few hours.

best moment this week? Our church had a big kids consignment sale this weekend and I went right before it opened and stood in the long line that had already formed.  I rushed in with the crowd and started throwing all the newborn and 0-3 gender neutral clothes I could find.  I also grabbed a few boy things just in case :)  I probably would have bought the place out if I knew if we were having a boy or girl, but since we don't I ended up getting about 15 onesies and 3 hats for $11!  Then I went and bought baby laundry detergent that costs more than all the clothes did and some baby clothes hangers and came home and washed everything and got it all organized in the closet :)

movement? lots of it! I can feel it kicking/punching simultaneously on opposite side of my belly. You can also watch my belly pop out where the baby is kicking, I could watch it for hours!

food cravings? Finally gave into my craving for a chicken wrap at Surf Club today after church.  I also gave into my craving for bluebell cookie dough ice cream, but only bought a pint so I wouldn't eat too much of it... too bad Trevor helped me unload the groceries when I got home so I wasn't able to sneak it.  Next time I will just buy the whole half gallon!

gender predictions? I had a girl dream this week... but bought some boy clothes, so who knows! 

what i miss:  Being able to eat a normal sized meal and feel normal afterward! I get so uncomfortable after eating a the same amount I used to.

what i'm looking forward to: I have another Dr. appt this Friday, love getting to hear the heartbeat!

how are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part! I have my moments of being uncomfortable, especially after I eat, but just trying to enjoy everything.  I found out that I passed my glucose tolerance test, so no gestational diabetes for me! But they did find that I am anemic now so they put me on iron supplements.  I'm also taking Zyrtec D and Robatussin DM for the productive cough I've had for about a week now.  One of those things I started taking this weekend has made me feel a little dizzy and lightheaded.  I'm hoping its not the iron because that is the one that I have to keep taking. I'm loving how strangers treat pregnant people!  Now that I'm obviously pregnant people are being so helpful. I left the grocery store in the best mood the other day people kept complimenting me and offering to help with everything.
