27 Weeks

27 weeks

*Total weight gain?: 12lbs

*How big is baby?: 14 1/2 inches long and almost 2lbs!

*Sleep: Doug was gone last week and I actually slept pretty well with out him next to me.  Maybe it was because I could fall asleep watching what I wanted to watch on TV or because I didn’t have to listen to him snoring, but I slept great!  I am beginning to feel that I could use a nap during the day and I am so ready to lay on the couch when I come home after work!  Sleep is my friend!

*Sex: It is a G-I-R-L-!!!

*Maternity clothes: All I want to wear right now is my workout pants! Thank goodness they still fit!

*Showing yet?: I am showing, but apparently I am not as big as I should be at this point.  When I tell people how far along I am they say “that I don’t look it”.  Not sure if they just don’t want to tell me that I am the size of  house or what?

*Stretch marks: The tummy is stretching, but no marks yet!

*Movement: I am feeling her higher up in my belly.  She isn’t quite up into my ribs yet, but she is pushing everything else up into them and it is super uncomfortable!

*Food cravings: Waffles with syrup!

*Labor signs: I think I actually felt some Braxton hicks contractions last week.  My stomach would get super tight for about a minute then it would loosen up.  No pain, just a weird feeling.  Apparently they are are nothing to worry about, just my uterus doing a little spring training before opening day.

*Belly button in or out: On it’s way to an outie.

*Wedding ring on or off: on.

*Worst pregnancy symptom of the week: I have this horrible pain up in my ribs on my right side.  It gets really bad after sitting all day at work.  I think it is just inflamed rib cartilage caused by all the movement of my organs.  I have been icing it and hopefully it won’t hurt as bad at the in of the day tomorrow.

*What I miss: I missed Doug last week.  He went to a conference in Chicago and was gone all week.

*What I'm looking forward to: Even though going home for my baby showers and to see family is 3 weeks away, I am so excited about it already!!!

*Best Moment of the Week: Going to tea with Heather.  We love going to high tea at this little Victorian Tea house! 

Week 27: Baby is as big as a head of cauliflower!

26 Weeks

*Total weight gain?: 11lbs

*How big is baby?: 14 inches long and over 1 2/3 pounds!

*Sleep: I slept horrible last week!  I was a little under the weather  with a weird cold.  I felt ok during the day (except for having no voice), but at night I would cough up a storm!  The coughing probably wasn’t that bad, but every time I had a coughing fit I would have to go to the bathroom and make sure I made it before the coughing caused me to pee all over myself!  So between being up coughing and peeing myself using the bathroom, going back to sleep with Doug sawing logs next to me was difficult. I am trying really hard to not video Doug to prove to him how loud he is snoring lately, but if he doesn’t calm it down a bit there will be evidence shortly!

*Sex: It is a G-I-R-L-!!!

*Maternity clothes: I bought a couple of cute dresses this weekend for my upcoming baby shower.  Doug went with me to pick them out and he had a great time seeing me with the “add 3 months” bump pillow!  I did not get this dress because it made me feel huge (without the pillow)!

*Showing yet?: Yes!!!

*Stretch marks: Not yet…but still rubbing on the oil.  It has worked so far at keeping the stretch marks away and I have the softest belly ever!!!

*Movement: She is moving, kicking, punching ALL THE TIME!!!

*Food cravings: Orange Juice!

*Labor signs: None…thank goodness. This baby needs to cook another 14 weeks!

*Belly button in or out: I think it is not far from becoming an outie….GROSS!!!

*Wedding ring on or off: on.

*Worst pregnancy symptom of the week: Peeing myself while coughing is definitely at the top of the list for this week!

*What I miss: Having a few drinks this weekend to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.  I did still sport some green….

*What I'm looking forward to: Last week I was excited about getting the baby shower invites in the mail.  When they came I was shocked to find how similar they are.  Great minds think a like!

25 Weeks

25 Weeks

*Total weight gain?: 12lbs (endless amount of eating while on vacation)

*How big is baby?: 13 1/2 inches long and over 1 1/2 pounds!

*Sleep: Sleeping ok but getting up for more and more bathroom breaks!

*Sex: It is a G-I-R-L-!!!

*Maternity clothes: I’m in them and may not go back once she comes!  When did elastic waistbands go out of style?  I say lets bring them back….super comfy!

*Showing yet?: Yes!!!

*Stretch marks: Not yet…but still rubbing on the oil.

*Movement: She loves to get real low in my pelvis.  It is a little uncomfortable at times, but I love that I can tell where she is.  Sometimes my stomach gets really hard and I can tell that she is to the front, then other times my stomach is really mushy and she is nowhere to be found!

*Food cravings: Orange Juice and Jell-o.

*Labor signs: None…thank goodness. This baby needs to cook another 15 weeks!

*Belly button in or out: In, for now!  Doug was talking to my belly  one night and because my belly button  is so deep he starting making an echo noise!

*Wedding ring on or off: on.

*Worst pregnancy symptom of the week: The weird cramping/tingling pain right below my sternum that I was experiencing last week, I have decided that it is indigestion.  I am now not leaving home without tums!

*What I miss: Not a thing this week.

*What I'm looking forward to: Receiving invitations to my baby showers for this sweet little baby girl!  I love a good cute invitation!

*Best Moment of the Week: Having the whole week off work!  I enjoyed skiing and seeing family in Jackson Hole!

24 Weeks

24 weeks

(I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that I had wrote “sang” instead of “sing” on the board for this week!  Ooops!  We can blame Doug for this error as well because he always approves the chalkboards after I make them. Winking smile)

*Total weight gain?: 10lbs

*How big is baby?: a foot long and over 1 1/2 pounds!

*Sleep: Still sleeping most of the night!  This week I was sleeping next to a snoring sick sleeping husband, who made it a little difficult to get to sleep. 

*Sex: It is a G-I-R-L-!!!

*Maternity clothes: Found some really cute maternity tops at Target this week that were on clearance!  Go me!

*Showing yet?: Yes!!!

*Stretch marks: Not yet…but still rubbing on the oil.

*Movement: She is moving and kicking like crazy. I feel her the most in the middle of the night when I am making one of many bathroom runs.

*Food cravings: Orange Juice and Jell-o.

*Labor signs: None…thank goodness. This baby needs to cook another 16 weeks!

*Belly button in or out: In, but I am beginning to see the bottom of it, so maybe it is on it’s way out :/

*Wedding ring on or off: on.

*Worst pregnancy symptom of the week: Weird cramping/tingling pain right below my sternum.  It usually happens when I have a full belly.  Not anything that hurts just an annoying feeling.

*What I miss: Not a thing this week.

*What I'm looking forward to: Skiing!  And seeing Wrecks’ sweet face when we get home!

*Best Moment of the Week: Leaving work on Friday knowing that I had the entire next week off!  I love vacations!

Here is our view for the week…snow and more snow.
