27 Weeks

(one day shy of) 27 weeks (3/18)

2/3 of the way done! I am hoping the next 3 months go just as fast as the rest of this pregnancy has gone! I had my last 4 week appointment this week. Going to the doctor every 2 weeks should help things go by quickly. I passed my glucose test (yay for sweets!) but by hemoglobin was a little low so I have to start on iron supplements. And lucky me, since my blood type is O neg I got a shot of rhogam in my booty. That stuff burns so bad! We got the nursery painted yesterday (thanks mom!).  I love the color! I am hoping to get the furniture in there this weekend and get the crib skirt made.

How far along: 27 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I think I'm done sharing.  Let's just say its not quite a pound a week  :'(   It'll slow down at some point right?
Maternity clothes?: Yup
Stretch marks?: not yet!
Sleep: Sleep is no good! I guess it's just preparation for what's to come
Best moment this week: Painting the nursery. It wasn't fun but it looks so cute!
Movement: All the time!
Food cravings:  Lately, anything sounds good. I have found that eating ice helps with the munchies.
Gender: GIRL!
What I miss: Tanning! Now that the weather is nice, I want my skin to look like I've been in the sun!
Milestones:2/3 of the way done!

From Babycenter:
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
