Over the last week, I think my belly "popped." I definitely must be showing more because more and more people at work have started to notice and comment on Baby M. I haven't really gotten any weird, off the wall comments yet but I'm curious to see what people say!
Nesting has kicked into full swing and the house is in such a state of limbo as we await furniture deliveries and carpet cleaning. I think all of our utilities are finally taken care of after two trips from the cable company and two from the alarm company. Phew! Thankfully we still have 13 weeks left to put the house all back together again.
How far along: 27 weeks - the start of my third trimester!
Size of baby: a head of cauliflower or an eggplant, about 14.5 in. and about 2 lb.
Total weight gain/loss: +16 lbs. (no change from last week, thankfully, because I sure am starting to feel it!)
Maternity clothes: a mix of all sorts of things, although some pj and workout pants are even getting a little tight and some shirts are just not long enough to stretch over my growing bump.
Gender: a boy!
Movement: Baby M is pretty active but I still only feel him at certain times of the day and have yet to see any movement from the outside. That's probably still a ways off. He seems to be a bit shy because any time I tell Ryan he's kicking, he stops. It's so sad because poor Ryan has only felt him a few times!
Sleep: yes please! I have started dragging again and take advantage of all the sleep I can get.
What I miss: not getting winded from doing simle tasks and bending over without straining. I also miss our house being in order and can't wait for it to be all put together.
Cravings: still a mix of salty (anything) and chocolate.
Symptoms: the back pain is pretty intense (darn scoliosis) and I'm starting to worry about the circulation in my legs because my lower calves are a little discolored. I may even be swelling a bit. I have a doctor appointment next week so I will definitely be asking about that!
Best moment this week: our dear friends went to a lot of trouble to throw us a couples shower on Saturday night and we had a great time! I'll post about it separately (with pics) but I couldn't have felt more loved and so impressed with all the details they thought of. We are so lucky to have such great friends to share this special time with!

Make sure you prop your feet up as soon as you get home from work! And I swear, as ugly as they are Crocs are amazingly comfortable and really helped me combat swelling.

Your belly is awesome....so fabulous!
I can't wait to see you in 2 weeks and hug you and that sweet baby bump!
YAY! You look awesome! I know it is different on the outside looking in, but your pregnancy has flown by (for me anyway. :)) Love you and hope to see you soon!
