27 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 27 Weeks

Size of baby: 14.5 inches long and weighs 2 lbs. She is the size of a a head of cauliflower.

Fun Fact: She is sleeping and waking in regular intervals, opening/closing her eyes & perhaps sucking her fingers!  

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 4lbs

Maternity Clothes: I am wearing a belly band for most of my pants & all regular shirts. In that weird phase where maternity clothes are too big, but regular clothes are getting snug

Gender: GIRL!
Movement: Yes she has been giving some pretty viscous kicks during the workday! I guess hearing Mommy on the phone all days gets a little irritating!

Food Cravings: I am overly conscious about what I am eating.

What I miss: Nothing really. I am getting better at being patient with the boys. My energy level is still very low.

Sleep: I'm sleeping ok…

Symptoms: I feel really good, just very tired. I have had a little bit of heart burn in the evenings. When I walk for long periods of time I get cramps, but no swelling so that’s awesome!

Best Moment this week: There are so many great moments this week! We are working with Trace to know that there is a baby in my tummy. Well he used to lift up my shirt and SLAP my belly, now he will blow strawberries on it. So CUTE! Trenton just loves to lay on my tummy and kisses his sister all the time.

What I am looking forward to: Peaceful weekends with baseball season being over!

Name Ideas: Peyton Ryleigh, Ryleigh Ann

I am having major skin issues. My skin is very dry and pale. I can’t seem to get my makeup balanced so I look like a scary ghost in the mornings. It’s all worth it for my sweet little angel girl!
