How Far Along: 27 weeks and 6 days
Total weight gain: None. Even after being at the beach!
Maternity clothes: I wore one of my new maternity shirts with my scrubs to work yesterday. I had lots of people tell me how pregnant I look and I could see people's reaction from a distance when they saw me, their eyes went straight to my belly. It's like they were saying, "Oh you're pregnant! I thought you had just gained a bunch of weight!"
Sleep: It's pretty decent when I can get some sleep. I'm still staying awake for a while if I have to get up in the middle of the night and I can't go to sleep on nights after I've taken a nap.
Best Moment this week: Thomas was finally able to feel Amelia kicking! He felt her on Tuesday night and last night she actually made his finger move. So neat!
Movement: Lots and lots. I can see different parts of my belly moving and that is just too cool. While I'm ready to meet her (when it's time!), feeling her move inside me is something I will definitely miss. It is just an amazing experience.
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time! I don't think I've felt any Braxton Hicks contractions yet either.
Belly button: Innie
Cravings: I've been craving more sweet stuff lately. Especially after lunch for some reason.
Nausea: I've only had one instance of gagging and vomiting this week. Yay progress!
What I miss: Love it all!
Stretch Marks: Present and accounted for!
New/Weird Pregnancy Symptom: There hasn't been anything strange this week, but I'll share something funny. I bought some lanolin cream to soften and prep my nips for breastfeeding and when I was applying it the other night, Scarlett was in the bathroom with me. She started sniffing around me and turned around and left the bathroom with a little growl. I don't know if she didn't like the smell (it doesn't have a smell as far as I can tell) or didn't like what I was doing. It was hilarious!
Weekly wisdom: We are so blessed to have family and friends that care so much about Amelia already. She is so loved! Of course, this is something I already knew, but it's always nice to think about.
What I am looking forward to this week: Entering my third trimester!
