And again...I'm behind! It's Tuesday... I should have updated this last Sunday, when I was still 27 weeks but that didn't happen. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to NJ to handle E.J.'s aunt's passing. We were there until Monday, which is when we drove home. It was a very busy week and things are NOT going to slow down. This is crunch time. I do; however, have faith that we will get everything done.
Anyway, this sweet little baby boy is just growing and growing!!! I am really starting to feel pregnant, physically. My bump is growing, shirts are getting shorter and it's getting a little harder to breathe. At first he was always so low and although I'm carrying him low somehow he's enjoying my upper bump...right under my rib cage. He kicks, pokes, wiggles, flips, rolls and taps right up there...often! It's funny. I was telling E.J. I think he's found the unchartered territory and just exploring it since he's been low for so long! lol. Last Monday I did do my 3 hour glucose test. I had to drink the orange drink (OMG, yuck!) and have my blood drawn 4 times. It really wasn't that bad, well, I say that now that it's over... :) I haven't heard back from the Dr. which I'm assuming is a good thing considering they called me the day after my bloodwork the first one to let me know I failed. So....maybe I passed?! I'll let you know after my dr's appt this Friday afternoon. So, what else? When I lay down for bed and put my bump on E.J. he usually can feel baby Emil kick or poke...that's fun. Everywhere I go people talk to me about when I'm due or what I'm having. It makes me laugh b/c I just thought it was an unwritten rule that you don't ask a woman if she's pregnant but people sure do! And All the Time! But, I like it:)
Okay, so stats.... Here goes! Oh, and of course a bump pic. We're eventually going to do some maternity photos...It's on our growing list of TO DO's!!!
•How far along?: 27 weeks
•Baby is the size of a: Cucumber (16 inches, 2 1/2 lbs)
•Total weight gain/loss: 17lbs (as of 26 weeks, 2 days)
•The Bump: I can't believe how much it's growing!
•Symptoms: Well, maybe swelling. My hands are feeling swollen a little... Um, other than that, just my bump. Oh and I almost forgot...BRAXTON HICKS contractions! Yep, they happen! They're crazy!
•Food Cravings: Still none. At this point I don't think I'm going to get them.
•Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Can I put annoying people on this one? Ugh... I'll be nice here but that'd be my answer if I was going to be not so nice... lol. Anyway, really only sick feeling if I'm hungry.
•Sleep: While we were out of town we were so busy so most nights I slept like a baby...I was exhausted!
•What I miss: I don't miss anything. I'm happy:)
•Weddings Rings On or Off: On! But I haven't tried to take my wedding ring off and like I said I feel like I'm swollen sooooo, we'll see.
•Any Names Picked Out Yet: We have a Jr!
•Gender Prediction: Baby Kukoly is a BOY!
•Movement: He's so fun! I love feeling him move around:) He's usually moving around but sometimes I have to relax and focus to feel him!
•Maternity Clothes: I need to invest in some more...I just only like them if they're cute.
•Best Moment of the Week: Every week it will now be feeling baby Emil move... Other than that, since it was such a hectic, stressful week I'd say the best moment wasn't just a moment... It was spending time with my hubby.
•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Getting the baby's room cleaned out. That HAS to happen THIS weekend!!!! I have to get on the ball here!!! :)
