27 Weeks
We're in the third trimester now!!! I feel like the time is flying by. It's already almost Christmas and then soon after we'll be in the year 2012 and our baby will be due shortly thereafter. This week has flown by like crazy. I am really excited for my two week break that's coming up. I only have one more day with the kids and then I get some time off.
Artie and I have been working on the baby's room. Painting stripes is really cute, but it's certainly not an easy task. We taped and then used caulking, but it still didn't work as well as it should have. I don't know if it's because our walls are textured or if there is something else we could have done, but I am definitely going to have to go in there and do some touching up (with a steady had). I'm really hoping to be done with the painting by the middle of my break.
Artie is going to be starting to work with Scott on our changing table. I'm really excited about it. Artie designed it, and I really love it. I'm excited for it to be done.
Other than that, nothing is new this week. On to our weekly quiz.
27Week Quiz
How far along: 27 weeks and 0 days today
Weight gain: I think that weight gain is the most difficult mental challenge that I've had to deal with with this pregnancy. It's really hard for me to see the scale go up every single week and know that I've gained weight when I was once goal oriented at losing weight and keeping it off. Anyway, the scale said that I'm up 22 pounds.
Maternity clothes: Completely in maternity clothes. I'm going to get a dress after the holidays that I can wear to school and have for my shower. :-)
Stretch marks: Only older marks right now, keeping them away hopefully!
Sleep: Sleep is okay. I don't know if I'm stressed about something or if it's just the normal stresses of my job/everyday routine, but I've been waking up with a headache and the feeling like I was gnashing my teeth together in the middle of the night. My mouth/jaw hurt and I have a headache. Hopefully it reduces over the break. Sleep is a wonderful thing!
Best moment of the week: Having the baby move when Artie talks to my belly. I think he or she knows his Daddy's voice :-).
Movement: I either have a tumbling gymnast or a crazy wrestler.
Food cravings: I am trying to keep my intake at meals not as big because I get full so much faster now and then I feel uncomfortable. No cravings though!
Labor signs: No! The belly still gets really hard at times (I think it's the braxton hicks trying to prepare my stomach muscles and uterus for what's to come).
Belly button in or out: It's still in.
What I miss: I miss being able to help around the house with certain things. (the paint kinda made me feel ill the other day - and I can't get up on a ladder; per my husband's instructions)
What I'm looking forward to: I'm excited to get the changing table started and then see the progress on it.
Weekly wisdom: People who are true friends will be there for you in all situations.
Milestones: 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.
