Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 27

400th post, this here little blog's been around a while considering before I was pregnant I was having a hard time sitting down to type anything!

How Far Along:
27 Weeks

Size of baby:
A rutabaga

Total Weight Gain:
8.5lbs

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
yes...the belly taketh over.

Gender:
It's a BOY!

Movement:
lots!

Sleep:
not much of a problem this week, waking up more from laying in an uncomfortable position for too long but nothing that I'm losing sleep over yet.

What I miss:
walking for miles without feeling like I need a support belt to hold my belly up!

Food Cravings:    

I've never looked like more of a stereotypical pregnant lady than I did at the Meijer check out this week after work one day.  A bag of oranges, a couple of ribeye steaks, a bag of jelly beans (oh how I love my jelly beans) and parsnips.  Why parsnips?  Because Food Network mentioned them on one of their shows and my pregnant brain just HAD to have them NOW.  (They were delicious by the way!)

Food Aversions: 
nothing in particular but it does have to "sound good" at the time for me to want to eat it!

Symptoms:
nothing too awful this week, lots of low abdomen pain when I walk around/bend over too much throughout the day.  

Best Moment This Week:

having a shortened work week!  Even if it only was 1 day shorter.

What I’m looking forward to: 

Since I was slow on posting this week I was looking forward to Thanksgiving and possible black Friday shopping.
