How Far Along: 27 weeks
Gender: Baby GIRL Weg!
Weight Gain: 11 pounds. I’m officially at a number that I’ve never seen on the scale before, so I’m doing my best to embrace it! I’m still slightly below the benchmarks my midwife set for me, but my belly is measuring right on track.
Banner: HoorayEveryday —————– Dress: Old Navy
Maternity Clothes: I’ve tried to slow down on the maternity clothes front, but I keep finding the cutest outfits! I’m starting to look for a few transitional pieces for Fall, but I don’t want to go overboard because I will only need the warmer clothes for a month or so!
Sleep: Sleep is improving with the help of roughly 14 pillows in our bed! Charlie loves having the extra pillows, A.J. isn’t so impressed with his 12 inches of sleeping space 🙂
Movement: All day, every day! A.J. is convinced that she doesn’t like him, because she seems to settle down the minute he tries to feel a kick. I told him he’ll be grateful for that response when she’s on the outside!
Cravings: McDonald’s french fries. I’m not a huge french fry person the way it is, but we were camping this weekend and that was all I could think about! I tried to convince my husband to drive 30 miles to the nearest McDonald’s, but I settled for a hotdog over the campfire instead :).
Queasy or Sick: Perfectly healthy!
Belly Button In or Out? I seriously feel like I’ve said this for weeks, but I think it could pop at any second! My sweet little nieces are convinced that’s how their baby cousin is going to get out of my stomach, and it’s the cutest thing ever!
Looking Forward To: Carpet is officially in the nursery, and I’m putting a deadline of next week on the shiplap! Also, we are gearing up to head to the Iowa State Fair next week, which I’m super excited about! The fair has always been a big deal to my family, and I can’t wait for our little girl to show livestock someday too. Plus we have our 28 week appointment before we leave for the fair, and while I’m dreading the blood draw for my glucose test, I’m super excited to hear this little one’s heartbeat again!
