27 Weeks of Pregnancy

I feel soooo much better! My stress is gone and guess what? I think I've been stuffing myself too often. Seriously with all the good food my friend has given me and introduced me to, I have made a conscious effort to pay attention to when I am full and when I am just eating because it tastes good. I am surprised at how much I have been eating. I will stop when I am full and go, "huh...I am pretty sure I would have had 2 more pancakes because they are yummy- even though I am satisfied right now". And not having this constant stress has helped so much. I can't believe how much better I feel just having that gone!!! Whew!

How far along: 27 weeks... Officially starting 3rd trimester baby! And I've never felt better.

Total weight gain: 25 pounds-ish

Maternity clothes: Hubby's sweats have all been commandeered.

Stretch marks: Coconut oil- I need to pick some more up at Costco next time we go down to see family....it's great.

Sleep: I take naps with Grant now- I just forget the house cleaning sometimes...oh well, I feel good sleeping.

Best moment of this week: This week has been the best week EVER!!!! Okay?! I feel 1000% better- my body feels good, I feel like I can do another 3 months of pregnancy- I feel just so good. I think for the most part the thing that was stressing me out is taken care of -I mean there is always stress, but that was impacting me a lot- I just can't express- I feel right on track.

Thankful for: Good friends- people who support you and help you see that you are important and loved. I am so thankful for those people.

Movement: Sometimes baby goes crazy, and sometimes not much movement- I don't think there's a very consistent pattern.

Food cravings: Hot chocolate- but that's this time of year- it is FREEZING here and I just want hot coco every night to warm my bones.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm not going to lie- Jay's breath sometimes. He wakes up in the morning and wants a smooch and I'm just like, "Ewwwww" in my mind- it's so gross- how do I let him know without him feeling badly?

Have you started to show yet: Well, apparently some people don't notice the bump and they are surprised I am pregnant but I think it's because of the big winter coats now:) ha ha.

Gender: I had a dream it was a baby girl- 8 pounds, 10 ounces- wait a second....is that how much Carlee weighed Nicole? Maybe that's where that number came from in my brain....

Belly button in or out: out

Wedding rings on or off: on my necklace.

Exercise and preparation for birth: Oh no! I didn't do yoga! Why? It is so hard to fit it in my day with Grant. I mean I could be doing it right now I guess, but then I wouldn't get to document that I did it....

Happy or moody most of the time: happy

Looking forward to: Christmas break! I just can't wait to spend time with awesome family and relax and have some FUN!!!! I have never looked forward so much to a little break from the norm.
