How far along? 27weeks and one day

How big is baby? The baby is about 14.5 inches long from head to toe and weighs about 2 pounds and will steadily be gaining weight.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I am up2 pounds from last week so 16 pounds all together so far.


Maternity Clothes? Yes to both tops and bottoms, I did just go and buy some hoodies and a few more shirts (yay boxing week sales I saved over $100)

Symptoms? So far nothing has really been bugging me.

Food Cravings? Well I was at the store and I saw lemon meringue pie and had to buy it, I had a piece and now I don't really feel like eating anymore of it.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Nothing! Even if I did miss something it really wouldn't matter because I'm getting a baby at the end of the pregnancy.

Sleep? Sleep has still been good, I just don't really "sleep in" any more.

Movement? Still can feel her moving around she seems to be very active which is great! I do get a few love kicks through out the day that I can feel on the outside which is fantastic!

Stretch marks? Still just the 3 little ones, one on either side right on the very sides of me and one on my lower back (that one is weird, just never thought there would or could be a stretch mark there)

Belly button? Its really getting more shallow, I'm thinking I will get an outty sooner rather then later.

Milestones? Making it to 27 weeks, also we have gotten so much done on our basement over the Christmas break so we will hopefully be able to start on the nursery by February maybe?

Best moment of the week? Having Matt finally feel our baby girlie move!

What I am looking forward to? Working on the nursery.

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  Thursday night Matt and I were on the couch watching tv, and Matt was lying on my lap. I was feeling baby move around a bit so I grabbed Matt's hand and put it on my belly. Not too long after our baby gave him a really good kick! He said "I felt that!" It was so cool to have him feel our baby. He said it felt like if you put your hand on your cheek and push your tongue against it really quick that is what it felt like.

How far along?  26weeks

How big is baby? The baby is about 14 inches long from crown to heel and weighs a little more than 1.6 pounds and will steadily be gaining weight.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I am up a pound from last week so 14 pounds all together so far.


Maternity Clothes? Yes to both bottoms and tops. I still can wear some of my normal shirts but some of them are just getting too short now. The crazy thing is my shirts before were longer shirts so will my expanding belly they just keep riding up.

Symptoms? Starting to get a sore back but its only if I have been on the computer too much (upper back) or if I have been running around too much then its my lower back. But I only notice the stiffness towards the end of the evening.

Food Cravings? It's so weird but I'm not really craving anything, there is nothing that I absolutely need right this second type of feeling, if I don't get something its no biggy.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Nothing! Even if I did miss something it really wouldn't matter because I'm getting a baby at the end of the pregnancy.

Sleep? Sleep has still been good. The wedge pillow has been great.

Movement? Still can feel her moving around she seems to be very active which is great! I think I had felt a kick from the outside.

Stretch marks? Still just the 3 little ones, one on either side right on the very sides of me and one on my lower back (that one is weird, just never thought there would or could be a stretch mark there)

Belly button? Its really getting more shallow, I'm thinking I will get an outty sooner rather then later.

Milestones? Making it to 26 weeks, can you believe it 6 and a half months that is crazy, time is flying so fast!

Best moment of the week? Feeling baby move from the outside.

What I am looking forward to? Having Matt be able to feel our baby too!

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  Well when I had felt the baby move from the outside Matt was just heading out the door on the phone. I had felt only 2 kicks from the outside or at least that I could tell. When Matt came in I told him what happened, he asked if she was still doing it but she wasn't. He said "this little girl is already starting trouble."

Renovation Wednesday

So we have gotten more done on the basement! Cement is done and the outside walls are all straight now and re insulated. I'm really hoping that over the Christmas break we can get a lot done in the basement. Maybe get the walls built for the rooms, wouldn't that be super exciting. Matt's older brother did say that he is going to bring some of his tools when he comes for Christmas so hopefully things will get done.

How big is baby? The baby is about 13.5 inches long from crown to heel and weighs nearly 1.5 pounds and will steadily be gaining weight.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I am still at the same weight as last week so 13 pounds total.

Maternity Clothes? Yes to both bottoms and tops. I still can wear some of my normal shirts but some of them are just getting too short now. The crazy thing is my shirts before were longer shirts so will my expanding belly they just keep riding up.

Symptoms? Starting to get a sore back but its only if I have been on the computer too much (upper back) or if I have been running around too much then its my lower back. But I only notice the stiffness towards the end of the evening.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Nothing! Even if I did miss something it really wouldn't matter because I'm getting a baby at the end of the pregnancy.

Sleep? Sleep has still been good. I just bought a wedge pillow so I can put it under my belly and so far so good. I didn't want to use just a normal pillow because that is way bigger and Matt already is not too happy with all the pillows that I have been using. I wish our room was bigger so we could fit a king size bed in there.

Movement? Still can feel her moving around she seems to be very active which is great!

Stretch marks? Still just the 3 little ones, one on either side right on the very sides of me and one on my lower back (that one is weird, just never thought there would or could be a stretch mark there)

Belly button? Its really getting more shallow, I'm thinking I will get an outty sooner rather then later.

Milestones? Making it to 25 weeks and having my first appointment with my obstetrician, things went really well at my appointment, everything seems to be right on track, measurements good and a 150 heart beat for my little girlie wonderful news!

Best moment of the week? Having my friend's friend comment on my belly and how she thinks its such a great shape :)

What I am looking forward to? Having Matt be able to feel our baby too!

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  Matt had sent me a text and said "the Disney store is dangerous when you got nieces and a daughter on the way." (he just had to be there for a service call) But if he actually goes out shopping he would understand me when I say its so hard to not buy everything that is cute.

Weekend Recap

The only thing that really happened this weekend was on Saturday we went to Gaucho for my work Christmas dinner, well we went for lunch. It was really good food, its a Brazilian restaurant. We all left there really full and didn't eat anything really at all for the rest of the day.

How far along? 23weeks

How big is baby? The baby is about 11.4 inches long from crown to heel and weighs just over a pound and will steadily be gaining weight.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I have gained one pound since last week. Finally! It has been a few weeks now that I was only at 10 pounds, but now I have made it to 11 pounds. I was starting to get a little worried.

Maternity Clothes? Yes to both bottoms and tops. I still can wear some of my normal shirts but some of them are just getting too short now. The crazy thing is my shirts before were longer shirts so will my expanding belly they just keep riding up.

Symptoms? Just the usual bit of a nose bleed in the morning. (Its not dripping blood or anything like that just a little bit of blood)

Food Cravings? Well yesterday I wanted an eatmore bar but that was just because I saw someone eating something that looked like that chocolate bar. I didn't go buy one to eat though.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Nothing! Even if I did miss something it really wouldn't matter because I'm getting a baby at the end of the pregnancy.

Sleep? Sleep has been great. I think I was to get a small wedge pillow soon to put under my belly.

Movement? I can totally feel her moving now it is so amazing. Sometimes when she is really flopping around it feels like I'm on a roller coaster.

Stretch marks? None yet. I have been putting lotion on before I go to bed. I am the type of person where I never put lotion on my body except for my legs sometimes. So this putting lotion on thing is hard for me to get used to.

Belly button? Its really getting more shallow, I'm thinking I will get an outty sooner rather then later.

Milestones? Making it to 23 weeks

Best moment of the week? When I was talking to our baby she was moving around like she knew she was being talked to by me.

What I am looking forward to? Having Matt be able to feel our baby too!

Pregnancy moments with Matt: I tried to see if Matt could feel the baby move but not yet. When I felt her move I would ask him did you feel her too? But he didn't maybe this coming week he will be able to feel her too.
