How far along are you? 27 weeks – YES THEY CHANGED MY DUE DATE AGAIN!
How I’m feeling: Great! Went back to the gym yesterday and I had so much energy during the day. At night though – my whole body hurt!
Total weight gain: Get ready… 18lbs. My doctor said that it’s totally healthy and if I stay within 25-35lbs I should be good. Anything more is no good.
Cool baby facts: Annabelle’s lungs are getting a workout and she is breathing amniotic fluid in and out. She is also eating away! I saw her “chewing gum,” which was her eating, at our ultrasound on Tuesday – it was the cutest thing ever. She also may be able to recognize our voices, so it is about time that I start singing (poor thing) and reading to her!
How big is baby? As of Tuesday she weighed 2lbs 3oz! No wonder I’ve gained weight. She should be the size of a large eggplant or cucumber.
Sleep: Every night I fall asleep later and every morning I am up a little earlier! Just getting ready for new Momma sleep hours I guess.
Maternity Clothes: I wore an extra long H&M cowl neck sweater that belongs to my sister while I was home this past weekend (as seen in the picture) and it was so comfy!
Best Pregnancy Moment this week
1. My baby shower in Connecticut. It was truly the most beautiful day I could have ever imagined. 2. Learning that Annabelle is COMPLETELY HEALTHY and has been all along. Due to the idiot doctor in Maryland, we all thought she was ‘too small’ – however, if we go by the first due date the ultrasound tech had given at 6 weeks, Annabelle is right on track.
Movement: She is transverse (sideways), so I feel her on both sides of my belly at the same time! She moves her legs and arms and I feel like I have Tigger inside my belly. I also had my first kick in the ribs yesterday and it took my breath away. Let’s hope this doesn’t become a daily thing.
Food cravings: Pumpkin and Apple everything. I am in FALL mode!
Food aversions: Raw chicken.
Belly button in or out: The doctor says my turkey timer is about to pop.
What I miss: Honestly, nothing this week.
What I’m looking forward to: Starting on the nursery!! However, it still might be a few weeks until I get to attack that room.
Randoms: Annabelle is now due December 12th. Doctor says I am on my way into the third trimester. This scares me a little… she also said that a baby can come at 35 weeks. That is only 8 weeks away! I am not ready!
You look wonderful! I can’t wait to see what you do with her nursery!!
Also, I had an aversion to any and all raw meat while I was pregnant with Sam. Nick cooked all the meat the entire time. Luckily, it goes away. 🙂
So glad that Annabelle is nice an healthy!!! You look fantastic. I love that sweater! I’m craving all the wonderful fall flavors too. Decaf pumpkin spice coffee is daily thing!!!
Aw! I cant believe they changed your date again, my doctor said she will always keep my due date the same, no matter what (even though she may come earlier). Im due December 13th! However, based on my LMS I am Due December 3rd! But they are sticking with December 13th. 18 pounds isnt bad at all, I’m at 22! I gained 50 with Leah and my doctor never said anything, but I am determined to NOT gain 50 again lol. 8 weeks sounds so close!! 🙂 Looks like our little girls will be due about the same time now.. yay!
Wait…what? Changed your date again?! CRAZY!!! Sooo glad to hear that Little Miss A is healthy as can be!!!
so very exciting!!! love the sweater!
You look fabulous! I gained a lovely 40 pounds while carrying Emily. My doctor never worried, as I was healthy and continuing to work out. I am now under my pre-pregnancy weight (have been for about a month or so) and Emily’s not even 5 months yet. Don’t stress the weight, you’ll lose it and your body knows what it needs to gain! I’m so excited for you!
You look SO wonderful!!
I wouldn’t worry about the weight thing – it seems like you definitely have it under control. I gained 20 with my first, 30 with my second and 40 with my third. The doctor was never concerned!
Love the update 🙂
Youre so beautiful 🙂 Pregnancy suits you!! Sorry about all the confusion that must be irritating!! I love her name!! And youre more than halfway so dont worry too much about the weight gain 🙂
That must have been so stressful, but at least everything is figured out now. I wouldn’t worry about the weight gain at all. I gained 35 pounds, and was three pounds away from my original weight by the time I got home from the hospital a week later. Plus, you need some extra fat for breastfeeding (if that is what you choose to do).
Once again, cutest preggo ever 🙂
You look so cute! I sure hope you are on your last due date change
Thank you! I hope so too!
