call her blessed

How Far Along: 27 weeks

Size of the Baby: Cauliflower

What doin’: getting ready for work - I feel like I look bigger when I face left :)

Cravings: chocolate/sweets

Sleep: Sleeping on my back.  In the past week I’ve woken up from leg cramps twice… I’m worried this annoying symptom may have arrived and will pester me for a while.  But I can’t complain, this is one of the very few symptoms I’ve had, and up until now, I’ve been able to sleep completely through the night without potty breaks or anything else.

Gender: a sweet baby boy! :D

Weight Gain: 14 lbs

Names: We have 10 picked out, and in February we’ll narrow it down to our top 5, and then in March we will narrow down to 3 :)

Symptoms: I already mentioned the leg craps.  Every week his movements get stronger and stronger.  I think two nights ago, I felt hiccups for the first time.  It didn’t last but for a few moments, but from what I’ve read, that’s normal.

Pondering: I can NOT believe that next week I enter the 3rd trimester.  It’s so crazy.  I’m looking forward to taking the classes I’ve signed up for at the hospital, and I’m getting excited for the upcoming baby shower!  I’ve been thinking about what to wear for the shower.. it’s kinda tricky b/c I have no idea what size I’ll be, and I probably don’t want to wear a dress since it’s going to be in February.. I don’t know, we’ll see!

Favorite Moment This Week:  Well it’s not the leg cramps.. but there are so many great things that happened this week.  I’m so thankful for every day and I love to feel him squirm around inside.   We’ve been getting a few things in the mail from our registry, and we found out that friends of ours are also having a baby boy (7 weeks after us)!
