\"27<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

What Fruit are you? <\/strong>Baby girl is a cauliflower this week! Are these comparisons weird to anyone else? She\u2019s sleeping in regular intervals now, opening and closing her eyes and possibly even sucking on her fingers. More brain tissue is developing now, so bring on those omega 3s!<\/p>\n

We had our appointment this week and baby girl\u2019s heartbeat was steady in the 140s despite her bouncing around. My blood pressure is 102\/60. I also was sent home with orange glucola\u2026 next week brings the gestational diabetes test. Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n

Due date:\u00a0 <\/strong>May 9, 2014<\/p>\n

How far along:\u00a0 <\/strong>27 weeks \u2013 THIRD TRIMESTER!<\/span> Whoop!<\/p>\n

Gender:<\/strong>\u00a0 Baby girl!<\/p>\n

Total weight gain\/loss:\u00a0 <\/strong>Up 19 pounds and growing.<\/p>\n

Exercise: <\/strong>Honestly, I fell off the wagon a bit.In the last two weeks I have done\u2026<\/p>\n

– Dumbbell strength circuit & 10 minutes on the stair stepper (29 floors)
\n– 1.5 mile wog and an upper body circuit
\n– 3 easy miles on the bike
\n– 10 minute elliptical, 5 minutes stair stepper and a circuit workout<\/p>\n

Yup, that average to about 2 workouts a week.<\/p>\n

\"27<\/a><\/p>\n

I fought a cold for a few days and took it easy, but am ready to get back on it this week. I know it\u2019s not going to get any easier to workout and want to keep feeling strong!<\/p>\n

\"working<\/a><\/p>\n

Stretch marks: <\/strong>Nada.<\/p>\n

Swelling: <\/strong>Nada.<\/p>\n

Belly button: <\/strong>Ehhhh\u2026 ok, starting to poke out.<\/p>\n

Sleep: <\/strong>Sleep is my friend! I went to bed at 8:30 last night. No, not to read, but head-hit-the-pillow-and-I-was-out. My eyes didn\u2019t open again until 6:15 this morning. Glorious.<\/p>\n

Food cravings:\u00a0 <\/strong>The meat cravings have finally subsided! Phew. I actually started on a new vitamin combo<\/a> that has helped, plus it has omega-3s and with baby\u2019s brain tissue developing right now, I\u2019m glad for it! I know, I should have been better about taking such a vitamin all along, but I\u2019m a work in progress.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not craving anything in particular, though French fries never sound bad and I\u2019m close to having to go out and make this happen. Overall though, my appetite seems to have slowed down a bit in the last week.<\/p>\n

I am starting to test some freezer meals. Exciting and crazy that we\u2019re getting to that point!<\/p>\n

\"testing<\/a><\/p>\n

Symptoms:\u00a0 <\/strong>My back pain and overall tiredness has actually improved, but I\u2019m having a few episodes now of queasiness. I\u2019ve heard some first trimester symptoms can return in the third trimester, but I don\u2019t remember that really happening with Hailey.<\/p>\n

Also, my hips ache a bit more often.<\/p>\n

For the most part, it isn\u2019t bad. Just a reminder that we\u2019re moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Movement: <\/strong>Yes! I love being able to feel and see her so easily from the outside now. We\u2019ve started the game where she will kick and I\u2019ll push back. I can also tell when she rolls over and her back is on the outside of my belly. It feels so heavy! It\u2019s fun getting to \u201cknow her\u201d through touch.<\/p>\n

What I miss:\u00a0 <\/strong>Not much really. Well, wine.<\/em> I\u2019m hoping to go pick out a really nice bottle to have a sip of in celebration of her arrival in May. Any wine (red!) suggestions are welcomed.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m loving: <\/strong>Feeling like I can see the finish line. Sure, it\u2019s wayyy in the distance, but we\u2019re starting to make things happen. Hailey moved into her big girl room and bed last night (more on that later) and now it\u2019s time to shine up the nursery to be ready for baby girl!<\/p>\n

\"DSC03549\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I\u2019m looking forward to:\u00a0 <\/strong>Making to-do lists and really starting to check them off. I need to take advantage of whatever nesting energy remains. Also, my mom is coming next week to visit and that makes me happy!<\/p>\n

Hailey\u2019s take: <\/strong>She\u2019ll kiss my belly then give me the \u201cshhh\u201d sign. \u201cbaby is sleeping in mama\u2019s belly\u201d she will tell me. Maybe she\u2019s starting to understand? Maybe?<\/p>\n

Words of wisdom:<\/strong> Go to sleep at 8:30 whenever you want! I am taking advantage of it now while I can. Ahh, it was so nice!<\/p>\n

For fun<\/strong>: 27 Weeks with Hailey<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m an open book, so if you have any questions about the pregnancy or anything, ask away!<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend \"Smile\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
