Week 27

Week 27

I survived my first "camping" trip as a preggo!  I am lucky my parents let me sleep in the motorhome because it was definitely difficult getting my big belly up off that airbed :)  The river was nice and VERY hot, we spent most of Saturday at the Dunes and ended the evening with the Annual Feast, SOO GOOD!  Sunday we played sack toss, I was playing like dirt but picked it up and Danny and I placed 2nd, I'll take it :)

Saturday was a day I won't forget, we have no cell service at the River and all of a sudden my dad is talking to Robby.  Bad news arrived, Brenda Sargent, a 2nd mom to many of us through college had died.  Not only were Danny and I both crushed, our hearts break for her 2 fabulous daughters.  She was such a great mother and took care of everyone around her.  I will never forget her and look forward to celebrating her life this weekend in Renton.

Caring a child of my own has made the loss of any family member cut that much deeper, it makes me realize life is short and I need to focus on the good and not worry so much about the unimportant.

I am officially TIRED.  We have been going non-stop for a month and things are not slowing down.  Of the 13 weeks until Baby KK arrives we only have 3 weeks that are free/open that is CRAZY.  I have decided that I think she is coming early.  I am showing ALOT and experiencing many things other women don't start until 29-30 weeks.  That being said I am now feeling the crunch considering 2 of those weekends are right before she is due.  I am going to try to get something big done each week so that way I can be prepared but I almost feel like I should take vacation just rest/prep before she comes :)

Ignoring my whining, I am SOOO excited for the next few months, we have so many great things happening!  Hope my pregnant body can keep up :)

How far along? 27 weeks 

Baby size: 2 pounds and 14.5 inches

Total weight gain/loss:+30 pounds!  I am trying not to freak out about my big Bertha-ness but it really is taking a toll, I swear I am not eating DQ everyday! 

Maternity clothes? Love them! 

Stretch marks? Still holding strong at the 6, as far as I can see :)

Sleep: Takes me forever to fall asleep, can't get comfortable but we have added 3 pillows to my side of the bed to help with support!

Best moment this week: My massage today, I am living for Thursdays.  I get to lay on my belly (thanks to the pregnancy pad) and working on my stiff muscles!

Oh and COUGAR FOOTBALL SEASON TICKETS ARRIVED!  I love my Cougs :)

Movement: She is a tumbler.  Not only is she kicking, I think she rolls around during her awake times!

Food cravings: Nope

Miss anything?: Moving easily :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. Very sensitive to smell lately...

Have you started to show yet: Oh yes, people that haven't seen me in a few weeks keep saying "WOW she popped :)"

Symptoms: Most annoying is the heart burn and my shoes not really fitting!

Labor Signs: Nope!

Belly Button in or out? In it seems to be the one thing I don't have to worry about!

Wedding rings on or off? As of Monday...Off :(  I don't want to get it stuck so I have put it away until the heat is gone and potentially until November.  I am a little sensitive about it, but have replaced with a cheapy ring from Claires in high scool.

Happy or Moody?: Tired...not really overly happy or moody, just exhausted!

Looking forward to:  Seeing Tara, although its not for a great reason I miss my friend and can't wait to wrap her up on Saturday!  Also looking forward to having a FREE weekend next weekend to clean up the house, prepare for Aunt Lynn and Uncle Joe's visit and SLEEP IN!!
