27 weeks

27 week bump

Holding baby Barrett

How far along? 27 weeks

How big is baby?  A rutabaga

Total weight gain?  As of Thursday at the appointment I was right at 15 pounds and baby could weigh over 2 pounds already! 

Maternity clothes?  Maternity and regular clothes

Sleep?  Sleeping good. I can feel Barrett moving when I lay down at night and every morning when I wake up. Feeling his movement right when I wake up puts a huge smile on my face. 

Best moment of the week? Getting his crib in! It is all set up and the only thing in the nursery. We love it!

Food cravings? Peanut butter, oreos, vanilla ice cream, fruit...still anything sweet

Food aversions? None

Symptoms:  My feet start to hurt so easily now! I also had some bad cramping over the weekend. I think it is from my stomach stretching. 

Mood this week: Emotional. Excited about my growing belly...not so excited about my feet pain.

Movement: I still feel him all the time! I can tell he is getting bigger because I can feel him on both sides now and not just the left side. I think he still likes to try and cuddle up on my left side though. 

What I’m looking forward to: So many things! Getting the rest of his furniture, my family baby shower coming up, and starting the third trimester!

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach. We all went to my Aunt Carolyn's house for Memorial weekend and I was able to lay out on my stomach in this pool floatie and it felt so good to just relax laying that way. 

Next appointment: June 7th. I had my glucose test done on Friday and it was the best experience I've ever had giving blood. The nurse only had to stick me once (this has never happened) and Steven said my blood was flowing fast. Usually, they stick me at least three times in multiple places and only give a tiny portion of the blood they need and I end up passing out or getting sick, so this was such a pleasant surprise! Having more blood in your body is a great pregnancy symptom for me :)
