27 Weeks (June 5)

I had my glucose test and results were posted later that day. I sent them to my mom and her first reaction was something about aren't the numbers too low. And I remember last time she said something very similar. So then I had to go look up my numbers to compare.

I fell going into the garage this week and twisted my ankles a little, landed on my knees on the ground, and landed on my elbows against the car. But only my knees got a little bruised. My ankles were a little sore the next day or so which caused me to force myself to not workout. My face was about an inch from the car when I landed. It could have been so much worse. I also think the car broke my fall a lot and if I hit the ground fully, I would have been hurt way more. I'm also glad I was wearing capri pants at the time so my knees weren't as banged up.

I keep thinking I look huge this time then compare it to last time and it puts it into perspective. I am a lot bigger than other pregnant friends who are further along. Then also some people show even more. Everyone is just different.

Size of baby: Cauliflower, 14.4 inches long from head to heel. My app on my phone says the baby weighs about 2 pounds, which is the same weight it listed for 26 weeks.

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  19.3 lb gain overall. I gained 3.0 in the past week.

Maternity Clothes:  Everything is. I even stopped wearing my Shaw shirts or at least the one I put on this week because it was a little too snug.

Gender: Boy

Movement: There's a ton of movement. I don't even use my doppler to hear the heartbeat. 

Sleep: My sleep is not so good. I fall asleep so late with my computer on me because Ella is up too late and I don't have time to get to anything during the day.  She was even up past 11 last night and she didn't even nap. Then if I wake up in the morning or someone (Poly or Ella) wake me up and it's daylight I have a heck of a time falling back to sleep. Twice I was up at 5 and spent 2 hours trying to go back to sleep only to sleep a tiny bit more before it was time to wake up for the day. I wake up once to pee but usually I just go when someone else wakes me figuring I'm already awake and I better go now.

What I miss: Exercising more. Being able to easily get up and down off the ground with Ella. 

Symptoms: Going to the bathroom A LOT. My low back hurts at times because my posture is so bad.

Best moment this week: The weeks keep flying by. I'm not sure. I think Ella having a blast in the pool was my best moment of the week.

Looking forward to:  Ella's birthday party, my shower, the baby coming!

Exercise:  I ran Monday. It was pretty darn fast but Beth pushed a double so I didn't have to push a stroller. I taught a bootcamp on Wednesday. I swam in the pool many days.

Same this time: I gained more than I should in the week! I had my glucose test this week both times.


Different from last time: I feel like we actually did baby things last time and this time we did not. Our crib arrived last time and assembling our crib is on the to-do list but we haven't done it.
