27 Weeks Update

My Best Friend, Erin, took some maternity pics of my last week when I was in GA.

How far along? 27 weeks and 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: 17 pounds, yikes! I feel like I need to seriously slow down!  According to my email updates baby Moote is only 2 lbs and 14 inches long.  Where is all this weight going?!?!

 Maternity clothes? Yes, and I feel SO spoiled.  My mother-in-law bought me a starter maternity wardrobe in December and then this last week, my mom spoiled me with even more great items to help me transition to spring.   I'm definitely one lucky girl

Stretch marks? Nope, but I've been body butter-ing it up every night...just in case

Best moment this week: Going home to visit my family and friends in GA.  Getting surprised with a secret baby shower.  Having my best friend take some maternity pictures for me. Watching Jimmer play in the NBA live. Coming home to Brian and knowing he missed me.  Visiting great friends while celebrating the Oscars.  Officially signing up for birthing classes May 10-11.

Miss anything: I'm starting to miss sleeping on my back and tummy.  My bobby body pillow is amazing, but it is hard for me to stay in one position all night long.

Movement: Yes! Brian can finally feel him and visibly see him!  He kicks pretty much all day long, but I can especially feel him right when I wake up and in the evenings.

  Food cravings: Everything...I've never been such a snacker.  I'm always hungry...thus the huge weight jump.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Heartburn.  It's not very consistent, but man when it hits, it hits hard.

Have you started to show yet: Getting bigger everyday...see maternity sneak peek above

  Boy Names: We are now 95% set on Oliver.  While I was at home looking at genealogy stuff for family names, I even discovered that my Papa had an uncle named Oliver!  I brought back a whole list of other family names to run past Brian as the middle name search continues.

  Belly Button in or out? In, but funny looking.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Looking forward to: Starting my third trimester, getting the labor and delivery books I ordered on Amazon, our St. George trip in a couple of weeks, and organizing all our awesome baby loot!  NOT looking forward to...my March 6th glucose test.
