(You know, since this is what is going on in my life right now)...
How far Along: 27 weeks, 5 days. Sorry, no photo.
Size of baby: About the length of a rutabaga, a vegetable (?) that I have literally never come in contact with. Baby is about 14 inches long and weighs a little over 1.5 pounds. Judging by the amount of weight I've gained, he/she should weigh about 20 pounds by now.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +22 pounds. You read it right.
Maternity clothes: See above.
Gender: It's a surprise! Kind of. Baby's gender is written on a paper and sealed in an envelope. Dave and I aren't sure what we want to do yet! We kind of want to keep it a secret, but I'm not great with secrets. Vamos a ver!
Movement: Yes. On a related note, unborn babies love ice cream. It's a fact.
Sleep: I go to bed early and usually lie awake tossing and turning between about 2 and 4 a.m. I still only have one bathroom break per night.
What I miss: Hmm, being smaller?
Cravings: The usual. I usually start feeling like I need a dessert around 8:00 every night. It makes for somewhat agitated evenings.
Symptoms: Hugeness, heartburn, shooting pains down the sides of my butt, which I have recently learned have a name: sciatica. Awesome. I am considering seeing a chiro for the first time ever in life (even though they freak me out a little).
Best Moment this Week: Another ultrasound with a finger-sucking, chubby-cheeked baby. Also, I took a nap with Laci* this week. She was curled up next to me with her head on my belly, but baby kept kicking her in the face so much, she groaned and had to pick a new spot. It seemed pretty funny at the time.
*If you know me, you know that Laci is a wiener dog. I tend to not nap with other random females.
Girl I had the shooting pains down my bottom and in my leg too!!! And I took prescription heartburn stuff it really helped. Dr Ngyuen is great about giving the drugs!!!!!
