27 Weeks!!

I have only 3 months till this baby is due!!!! I think it's finally starting to sink in that I should maybe start to get things ready for when this kid comes. I ordered my first pack of diapers through amazon mom this week. Baby steps. Also, for the first time this whole pregnancy, a complete stranger asked when I was due!!!! Most people still do the stare at my stomach and then look at how skinny the rest of me is, and look like they are debating whether I am pregnant or not still, but I'm glad I'm at least starting to Look pregnant! Also, I have been pregnant for over HALF A YEAR! yeah. that is a long time. Some pregnancy things say I am now in the third trimester. I'm not counting it till 28 weeks though since all of the countdown calendars I've seen are definitive that that is definitely the third trimester. 

 Oh hey tiny baby bump!

 At Provo Fashion Week! Sad I had to drop out of it, but I am so proud of everyone who was in it! Turned out amazing!

 Bradley cracks me up! Such a fun pumpkin carving date night with siblings and cousins! Also, no judgment, I totally wore that sweater twice this week. it is so dang comfy! And long enough to go over my belly.

can you tell fall is my favorite??? between pumpkin carving and the leaves changing colors I just can't get enough! I especially love the cool and crisp weather!

BABY IS THE SIZE OF: A rutabaga (I seriously don't even know what that is) He is about 2 pounds now, and 14+ inches long! Chubs is breathing amniotic fluid now, and his eyes will open this week! He looks like he will when he's born only skinnier. or at least that's what my pregnancy apps tell me. Chubs will likely be 8+ pounds if I go full term. 

MATERNITY CLOTHES: Maternity clothes are amazing, especially now that I am big enough to need them :) I think I finally really popped this week!

SLEEP: I love sleep. I could sleep all the time if I was allowed to. I have crazy dreams, and wake up to pee a lot but I get back to sleep really quick. Unless I am hungry, in which case I eat a good sized snack and then fall back asleep quickly.

MOVEMENT: Starting to get more of a pattern to when baby is moving. I can tell when he's usually awake. He gets hiccups all the time! Also, have you ever been kicked in the crotch from the inside? I have. lol not comfortable.

BEST/WORST MOMENT OF THE WEEK: Best moment, was getting to spend all weekend with my love!!! He was off work :) doubled with my bro and sis-in-law, went to a fashion show, and watched a ton of the tv show arrow! Also, got as much cuddle time as my pregnant heart desired! I'm pretty clingy so that is a lot.

MISS ANYTHING: having a big stomach. haha It's small and consistent meals these days, baby is just taking up so much room in there.

FOOD CRAVINGS: Almond butter and honey or banana sandwiches. Also, avocado and turkey bacon on toast. Pretty much both staples right now. Also, I really want some caramel, haven't had any though.

ANYTHING MAKE YOU QUEASY: Still red meat. and milk chocolate. or milk anything. 

WEIGHT GAIN: I only weigh myself every couple of weeks. I try not to worry too much about it since my doctors aren't concerned.

SHOWING: FINALLY!!!! After looking like I had just eaten too much for several months I now have strangers asking when I am due!!!!! It only took a little over 6 months for that to happen. No more odd looks when I choose an elevator over the stairs!

HAPPY OR MOODY: I was soo happy a lot of this week. Yesterday I had a moody/crying day. Oh hormones. lol my husband is a saint for putting up with me. Seriously he has been so amazingly supportive. I'm so grateful for all he does for me. 

SYMPTOMS: 

• back aches
• Acid reflux 
• sciatic nerve pain, but it's fast and I can walk it off within a couple minutes, or shift and it goes away
• super tired
• hormonal, welcome back mini mood swings

LOOKING FORWARD TO: The weekend! I am planning some serious drive time through alpine loop to see the fall colors and hoping to work a date in with my hubby! (hard to do with his night shift schedule)
