27 Weeks!

Today I am 27 weeks pregnant - last week of my 2nd trimester!

Pregnancy Highlights:

Size of Baby: Baby H now weighs almost 2 pound about the size of a head of cauliflower and measures 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended!  

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +6 since my last doctors visit putting me about +11 pounds all together

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: 146 BPM

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: We are having a BOY!

Movement: Yes! Yes! Yes! It's the most amazing thing. He's a squirmier..

Sleep: Pretty good and I really slept good while Tom was off work all week. I actually slept better knowing he was in bed with me but that all changed once he went back to work, now I have the whole bed to myself again and I seem to wake up more often.

What I miss: Being able to get up and out of the couch and/or chair, it seems like a chore to have to get up, or tie my shoes, that's exhausting.

Cravings: Chocolate Shakes - definitely!

Symptoms:I'm starting to get some pain in my lower back on the right side, but this usually happens more ofter I've over done it, but other than that, not much. I do feel him move a lot more lately and at work this week I could actually see my belly moving, it was so cool.

Best Moment This Week: Celebrating the new year - I can't believe it's 2012! I know there are so many exciting things that are going to happen this year and I can't wait. I also loved having Tom home all week, even though I had to work it was still nice to be able to go to bed together and go out to lunch a couple of times while he was off.

Monday is my glucose test - I sure hope I pass!
