27 Weeks Pregnant

27 weeks pregnantI was a bit speechless this week when I read my “27 Week” recap which stated that a baby born now, has a good chance of surviving with significant medical assistance.  I mean that is great to hear, but it’s still very scary to know that a baby can come any as early as the present.  As much as I’d love to meet the little guy, I couldn’t possible bear to see a creature struggle to survive at such an early age.  Breaks my heart.

Hopefully my baby can wait another 10 or so weeks!

  • How far along:  27 weeks. 3 days.
  • Total weight gain:  Approaching 35 lbs.
  • Sleep:  These days? Very reminiscent of my first trimester…exhausted!
  • Best moment this week:  Sleeping in on Monday morning.
  • Movement:  OHMYGOSH. Yes. Especially this past weekend when I was at an anniversary party. Music was pumpin’ and baby was groovin’.
  • Symptoms:  Where do I start? Severe lower back pains. Tailbone pain. Tightening/rock-hard stomach.  Dry skin.
  • Symptoms I DON’T have: Extreme nausea.
  • Food cravings:  CocaCola!
  • Food aversions:  Chicken that is bland or lacking flavor. Still.
  • Labor Signs:  I hope not…not sure if the tightening stomach will lead to Braxton Hicks contractions.
  • Belly Button in or out?   In.
  • What I miss:  Being able to lie on my stomach.
  • What I am looking forward to:  Getting a back massage. Soon.
  • Weekly Wisdom:  Don’t let your work life stress you out. Not worth it.
  • Milestones:  Baby is sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes and perhaps even sucking his thumbs!
