27 Weeks 6 Days



How Far Along: 27 Weeks 6 Days (12 weeks 1 days until due date)
Size of baby:  14.5 inches long and weighs almost 2 pounds (size of a head of a cauliflower).
Gender: Girl - Emma
Maternity Clothes: Yes, tops and bottoms. I'm close to all maternity tops too - baby has grown and too much belly!
Weight gain: + 12 pounds
Movement: Depends on the day. Some days, Emma is very active, especially when I am sitting at the desk all day. During the weekends, I don't feel her as often probably because I'm on my feet or on the go. I have felt her hiccup a few times, which feels like a consistent light kick. My belly moves around with her movement and Greg has felt her move, most nights, when we are in bed.
Sleep: I'm SO tired when I get home from work but try to keep myself busy so I won't take a nap on the couch. Once asleep, I'm sleeping fairly well.
Symptoms: I'm tired all the time. I've been uncomfortable several times throughout this week with a tightness across the belly. Acid reflux has been bad - makes me nauseous at bedtime. I think the ease of the 2nd trimester has come to an end and it looks like the 3rd T might be the worst part, most likely due to growth. I also had a leg cramp Saturday night - maybe from too much standing at the game?
 What I miss: I think that Greg misses less hormones. I'm not going to lie, I miss cookie dough. It was extremely hard this week NOT to eat cookie dough when making oatmeal cookies.
Cravings: I miss chocolate milk and hot chocolate - thanks Greg for buying some hot chocolate yesterday!Best moment this week: Ending the 2nd trimester. Beating Auburn and tailgating. Baby Nutrition and Baby Basic classes - I'll blog about the classes later.
What I am looking forward to: Last home football game (vs. Kentucky) - to clinch the SEC East.
