27 1/2 weeks!

How far along? 27 1/2 weeks!

Weight gain/loss: Gain. Do I HAVE to post how much I have 
gained thus far? Haha.

Maternity clothes? Definitely. My pants and skirtsare waaay 

too small to button up! Gotta love the bella band. And comfy 

maternity shirts.

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep? Jeff and I have both had nasty colds for the past couple 

of weeks, so I have had a lot of coughing fits throughout the night. 

I haven't really slept well because of that, but I think it 

is starting to go away (finally!). I also still flip back 

and forth on my special prego pillow a lot, but I think I am

becoming a little more used to it, if that makes any sense.

Best moment this week? Going to my baby care basics class 

at the hospital. Even though it was pretty overwhelming to 

be reminded once again of how difficult it will be to raise 

a child, it still made me very excited!

Other favorite moment: Watching my belly and seeing him 

wriggle around and kick and punch!

Movement: He mostly moves in the early morning and then late at night

when I am going to sleep.

Food cravings: Smoothies- strawberry and banana (and blueberries 
and blackberries) to be exact.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs? No.

Belly button in or out? Just barely in. But slowly making it's way 

out I think. Ah!

What I miss? Playing volleyball!!!!! And once again, 

sleeping on my back. And cold deli sandwiches!

What I am looking forward to? Seeing our little boy's face.

Weekly wisdom: This nasty cold will eventually go away!

More like a reminder to myself.

Milestones: Rutabaga size! 'He's practicing inhaling and exhaling

with his rapidly developing lungs. It's official: Baby's showing

brain activity! And his brain will keep on getting more complex.'
