27 Weeks!

I've been pregnant for sooooo looong.

I'm a bit late posting because Christmas, obviously. But yea I feel really frustrated with being so pregnant. I didn't feel this way last time! But it's just the first thing that everyone sees, the first thing they ask about, the first thing they question.

You feel like you're not a person anymore. And I have more than 2 months left. Still.

(Why does it seem like I've been saying I have 3 months to go for multiple months??)

The good news is that the little guy seems to be doing really well in there. Lots of movement, and he's growing well. I still have mild anxiety about what will happen when he's born - I hope he's okay!

Nothing left to do now but wait a bit. My next appointment is in January and I need to get my note, set up my medical leave, etc.


How far along: 27 weeks

Due Date: March 24, 2020 (aiming for an early cesarean around March 17!)

Baby is the size of a(n): cabbage

Total weight gain/loss: Roughly 10 - 15 lbs. I'm well under the max and he's a big boy so I don't mind.

The Bump: Growing slowly and steadily - I'm measuring large, no surprise. It's getting harder to put on shoes and bend down!

Symptoms/How I'm feeling: Rib pain, nerve pain, etc.

Food Cravings/Aversions: Nothing really.

Sleep: Bad again, but it's normal.

Weddings Rings On or Off: On.

Exercise: A little, I have wanted to strengthen my arms a bit, maybe build up some muscle.

Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes. Not telling.

Gender: Boy!

Movement: Lots, yes. 

Maternity Clothes: 100%


Labor Signs: None. 

What I miss: not being pregnant. Yea! Still!

Best Moment of the Week: Christmas :)

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: shopping and the baby shower. I'm also looking forward to being off work.
