Bump Day -- 27 Weeks


I just realized how lame of a blogger I've been this week. I think I was embarassed to admit that I only took one....yes one picture the entire weekend we were gone, so I had nothing to show from our two fabulous showers. Feel free to stone me.


How far along? 27 weeks. 6 months down. 3 to go!

Weight gain/loss: 4 pounds in 2 weeks for a grand total of 13 pounds. I think I liked living in denial better. So much for my goal of only gaining 15-20. At this rate I don't think that's gonna happen....I hear this last trimester is when the baby packs on the pounds. Though if HE is the one gaining all the weight...does it really count for me??

Maternity Clothes? Umm.....yes. And I think I'm pretty much set till the end now, Old Navy needs to stop sending me all those enticing sale emails!

Sleep: If I could sleep all day...some days I would. Too bad work gets in the way.

Stretch marks: Nada.

Best moment this week: Our trip to Columbus for Adam's family shower and a BBQ with our friends. We came home with a car FULL of loot for the baby, it's almost embarassing how generous everyone was. Our friends even pooled together to buy our sweet stroller....can't wait for it to arrive!!
Movement: I get a kick out watching him move around in there. Every night I just lay there and stare at my stomach...I think I'm going to miss all that once he's finally here. I even got him to kick on command...sort of. I was holding a full, ice cold glass of water and wondered what would happen if I rested it on my stomach. Within a matter of seconds he kicked me so hard exactly where the glass was...guess he didn't like the cold front. I wanted to try it again, but the hubs said I was torturing him so I didn't.

Food cravings: Not much. Lame I know.

Gender: Team Blue!

Labor Signs: Nada.

Belly Button in or out? It's getting flatter and flatter but still in.

What I Miss: Putting socks on without having to contort my body and grunt like an old man. Thank god my shoes are slip ons cause tying laces could be out of the question.

What I'm looking forward to: Going through the 2 GIANT bags of clothes we got from my friend. I feel like we hit the hand me down jackpot!!

Weekly Wisdom: When a pregnant lady is exahusted and tired...do not talk to her, do not look at her, walk in the other direction or she's likely to lash out irrationally.

Milestones: Third Trimester. Holy crap!

Yes, damn ON and their sales!!

Oh and your weekly wisdom... right on. I've been exceptionally irritable lately.

You're in the 3rd tri! Crazy!!

It was so good seeing you last weekend. The good news about packing on the pounds in the 3rd tri is most of those come off on their own...I feel like I only have to contend with those I gained the 2nd tri...not as scary!

Glad you had a great time at your shower!!!! Can't wait to see what you do with everything :)

You are adorable!!! We used to have this heavy crystal bowl that I would put on my friends belly to watch her son kick it off. It was the funniest thing. I still to this day wish I would have felt Ellie kick. She was a graceful dancer even in the womb. Too bad I got motion sickness every time she rolled though. LOL!!! XOXO

P.S. I'm working on Jules I swear!!!

I’m sure that plenty of other people took lots of pics! I’m glad that both showers were really nice. That was sweet of your friends to go in together on the stroller.

The ice water story is so funny. I’ve said it before, but it really must be an amazing feeling.

The hand me down clothes from your friend sound great and I’m sure they’ll come in handy.
