27 WEEK BUMPDATE


I am one week away from the third and final trimester! WOW! At first this pregnancy felt like it wasn't progressing at all and that time was just standing still. But now I feel like I blinked and all of a sudden have 12 weeks left. 

I have an update on my short cervix that I wrote about last time, I had gone in during Thanksgiving weekend because I was having bad cramps and tightening. They ended up doing an emergency ultra sound and saw that my cervix is actually right where it should be! An internal ultra sound is much more accurate than the stomach one they initially did, so I felt really relieved because having a short cervix could have caused some major problems. 

He is still moving like crazy. I find his movements feel more like a dragging motion, where as when Everly moved it was more prominent kicks. He still sits really low which sucks for my bladder and also when it comes to walking around. I noticed he prefers the right side of my belly just like Everly did. My sister just recently had her baby boy and seeing him made me so much more excited to see Jackson! 

I should be getting my glucose test done in a few weeks, I really like the drink last time haha, lets hope I still enjoy it! I feel like the results really could go either way, I don't feel like I could have gestational diabetes but I know my eating has not been the best with this little guy. I went through a phase where all I wanted was apple crisp ...

Other than that there really isn't much else to update! We are finally starting to get the room figured out now and really going at it and fixing it all up. I have been selling some items that don't fit the space much anymore since it will be a shared room between him and Everly. We have also started putting together the bassinet and the pack n play. Everly has been enjoying using the pack n play as a crib for her dolls which I don't mind. We also got the car seat in the mail as well and I am so glad I went with a lighter car seat! 

How far along? 27 weeks

Total weight gain? So far I have gained 24lbs. 

Maternity clothes? Yep!

Stretch marks? Yeah, but mostly left over from my pregnancy with Everly.

Sleep? Getting much better! I usually wake up around 2am and toss around for a bit but it hasn't made me feel exhausted in the morning. I have found it hard to sleep on my back now so majority of the night I am on my side. 

Best moment this week? It happened a few weeks ago but my sister having her baby is still the highlight! 

Miss anything? Lately I have been wanting more than one cup of coffee haha.

Movement? Lots! He is most active first thing in the morning and around 8pm at night. 

Food cravings? I have been really enjoying apple crisp, which seems super random but it has been a major craving.

Anything making you feel sick or queasy? Nothing anymore so far!

Showing? Oh yes.

Gender? It's a BOY!

Labor signs? None. I thought maybe Thanksgiving weekend something was happening but everything ended up being fine!

Symptoms? Still feel a lot of pressure because he likes being low. Also I have noticed that my tinnitus (which I got shortly after I found out I was pregnant due to the extra blood flow) has slowed down a bit, I don't notice it nearly as much which is awesome.  

Belly button in or out? It's pretty much on the verge of being an outtie. 

Happy or moody most of the time? A little bit of both I think!

Looking forward to: Getting things started for the holidays!
