27 Weeks Pregnant



I am 27 weeks pregnant today!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 27 weeks
Size of the baby: Baby Hardy is the size of an eggplant.
Total Weight Gain: 14 pounds. Apparently I have had too many sweets!
Maternity Clothes: I am wearing mostly maternity pants and tops.
Gender: It's a boy-Parker Von Hardy.
Movement: I am definitely feeling the baby move a lot now. He moves all day and all night now.
Sleep: I am starting to have trouble finding a comfortable way to sleep. I have got out the Boppy pillow that I used when I was pregnant with Collin in an effort to get comfortable.
Symptoms: This week I have had an abundance of energy and am no longer needing naps. I am definitely in the nesting phase and want everything washed and organized for Parker. We are almost ready!
What I Miss: Nothing that I can think of.
What I Crave: Mexican food and any kind of dessert

We did have a very interesting week. On Wednesday I had to go back to the doctor for the three hour blood glucose test, which I was absolutely dreading! Patrick had to go with me since I passed out during the one hour test. Luckily, after three hours of sitting and three finger pricks, I passed! I could not be happier! I did not know how in the world I was going to prick my finger several times a day when I pass out at the smallest sight of blood. Thanks be to God!
