How far along? 27 weeks. Some people consider this to be the start of the third trimester.
(27 weeks. Looking bumpy.)Maternity clothes? Yup.
Stretch marks? Nothing new, although the old ones are looking a bit more pronounced and I'm starting to carefully watch for more. And let's talk about the veins in my tummy - I've always had weird, bright blue veins pop up on the sides of my stomach, but the bump is making them extra-pronounced.
(27 weeks, now with veins.)
Best moment this week: Feeling hiccups for the first time! It was quite a week for movement, and Elle is moving around a lot more and getting a lot stronger. I thought she was strong before, and I'm sure later I'll think this was nothing, but there are a lot more solid bumps and jabs going on in there.
Symptoms: Nothing awful. I've been really tired, but I think that's more from working on my final class project and working some weird hours. Peeing a lot.
Movement: Hiccups, a solid limb brushing against me, lots of flipping and shifting on the baby's part. For me, I finally have a bit more time to hit the gym and have been taking some short walks at work, too.
Food cravings: Sandwiches. Cake. (It was my birthday last week, I'm allowed to crave it!)
Aversions: Still strawberry cream cheese.
Gender? It's a girl!
Sleep: Quantity: Not much (because of work and school). Quality: Excellent.
What I miss: The last few months - time is flying by, and I really wish I could have those last few months back. It feels like forever ago that we found out we were pregnant, heard the heartbeat for the first time, had our ultrasound.
What I am looking forward to: LOADS OF STUFF. Hello, more free time! My class ended tonight. The crib and mattress should be here this week or early next week. We've got a fun day off planned for next week, and I think we're going to get Elle's dresser. I'm done at the part-time job in less than two weeks. And we're going on a "babymoon" in the next few weeks. Then we start childbirth education classes!
Weekly Wisdom: Salad is my friend. Salad is my friend. Salad is *sigh* my friend. I also learned on my birthday that blackened salmon tastes like burnt hot dogs when you burp. GROSS.
Milestones: Hiccups! My first birthday as a pregnant person! Finishing my certificate program!

Aww Love the bare belly shot! You have the perfect little beach ball belly! With all your working out, I have a feeling delivery is going to be a breeze for you. :) Oh, and I see zero stretch marks--my belly is atrocious and looks like a road map.
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks :) I take bare belly shots every week for a separate journal, but I usually don't inflict them on anyone in cyberspace :) I have a feeling my stretch marks are coming ... I usually don't get the red ones, either - just the white, silvery ones.
