27 weeks - end of the second trimester

I’m 27 weeks today. That means I’m entering my third trimester! How oh how people did this happen so quickly?!! For realz. This week has been a lot of change for me. I became even crazier hormonal wacko, and I stopped sleeping.

I’m working harder than ever, and also trying to prepare my house for basically a huge overhaul.  In the next couple of weeks we’ll be changing out all the flooring in our house except for the master bathroom floor.  it’s going to be a lot of work, but soo worth it. and I’ve talked to a lot of pregnant women who say that having something to do in my third trimester is going to be a good thing. Sitting around and waiting for baby to come is not so much fun. So I guess that’s another positive to ripping out all the nasty flooring in my house and putting the good stuff down.  I am lucky though that this is within my realm of work so I have a lot of people helping me out and making sure that I’m getting the best deals possible. That alone has also made is possible for me have someone do the work instead of the stress of my husband doing it all himself.  I trust him, but this kinda thing isn’t his thing and he gets easily frustrated.  So I’m a happy camper.  I’ll just need to probably hire a cleaning lady to help me scrub the house once the construction is all done.

So flooring is what’s been going on in my world this past week. Fun stuff, right?

Onto the good stuff, pictures! I’ve done a comparison for you today. This is me wearing the same shirt at 12 weeks and 27 weeks, the ends of my first and second trimesters.  Enjoy this photo because I don’t think I’ll be able to stuff this belly into this top again!

 

 

· How far along are you? 27 weeks

· Total weight gain: 9lbs at my last appointment. Probably 20 now! I’m embarrassed to tell you everything I ate yesterday :/

· How big is baby? 14.25” long and about the size of an English cucumber..whatever that is?

· Maternity Clothes? Yeppers, although the top I’m wearing today isn’t maternity.

·Sleep? Huge change on this one from last week. I’m not sleeping. I’m tired, grumpy, and my body hurts.  I’m not sleeping because of peeing, noises, insomnia. I’m not physically uncomfortable.

·Best moment this week? Bear is now rolling around in my belly constantly. Like you can see his foot streak across my belly. Craziness!

·Movement? See above

·Food Cravings? Anything!

·Food aversions? Nothing

·Labor Signs? Nope

·Belly Button in or out? Innie for life! Haha j/k we’ll see what happens!

·What I miss? Nothing.

·What I’m looking forward to? Ripping out flooring this weekend. Oh the sweet gratification I know that will bring. If the exhaustion from that doesn’t make me sleep I don’t know what will.

·Milestone? Last week in my 2^nd trimester!!

· Stretch Marks? Today I’ve got nothing. I hope that’s still true tonight.

 

I hope everyone else is having a good week.  More fun posts to come tomorrow and this weekend. I’m back at it folks.
