27 weeks!

Made it to 27 weeks! I have been so beyond busy these last couple of weeks I am exhausted!!! (hence the reason there is no blog or photo for 26 weeks.....oops!) Here are just some photo's from the last week. Oh yea, and today is my most amazing big sisters Birthday! Happy Birthday Auntie Nanyn! Little miss and I love you!!!!!

Trying to survive the 100 degree heat!

How far along? 27 weeks , 7 days

Baby is the size of a: Cauliflower

Best moment of the week: We had a doctors appointment and I got my doctors note to fly home for Christmas! Woo HOO!!! Oh and everything is going great, baby is healthy and I am healthy (minus being low on vitamin D).

Maternity Clothing: Well I have some great maternity clothes now and other things I just buy in an extra big size so it will hopefully fit me towards the end! It is just hard being in summer now and then going back to winter for Christmas in the U.S. I don't think I will have much that is going to fit! I have been doing some shopping online so I have a few sweaters and basics for while I'm there. New bra's are on the list... again....

Movement? The Hiccups!!!!!! She doesn't get them a lot but once every few days and it is just weird, but cool at the same time :) The other day she kicked me so hard I woke up and then got the hiccups for about 20 mins. I was laying in bed wanting to go back to sleep SOOO bad but I couldn't :(

Sleep: Well I sleep with a body pillow thingy that goes between my legs and under my belly. My friend Cassie was telling me about a pregnancy book she was reading and about how every time you turn over with the pillow it is like wrestling an alligator and it is so true!!! Now every time I go to roll over in the middle of the night that is all I can picture! I roll over, back and forth a lot now....just hard to get comfy and my hips get sore from the extra weight....yup my ass is getting huge.

Cravings? just fresh fruit...oh yea...and MEXICAN FOOD. My husband has been promising to take me for awhile but each time it ends up getting changed or not working....if I dont get my hands on a chimichanga soon.....

Wedding Rings: My hands are swelling a little bit with the heat we have been having here but not to the extent that I need to take off my rings.

Missing Anything? Well we had Tex's work Christmas party the other night. He works for a winery called Molly Dooker and they have the most delicious red wine...It was rough not being able to drink, but at least he had a sober driver for the night haha

Aches & Pains: Well I am happy to report I m feeling relatively good! My back pain is not as bad as it has been (still a bit of lower back but not bad) and I am all around feeling good. I am starting to have the pains from the beginning again of my scar tissue getting stretched which isn't an amazing feeling.  

Happy or Moody most of the time? Good, just super busy and forgetful....damn baby brain I dont think I ever understood how bad it can really be!

Stretch Marks? Still none

Things they don't tell you: Well I assumed that my ass growing was just me gaining weight but apparently I am not just getting fat, it's what happens! I dont understand how some women claim to "not look pregnant from behind" because your hips widen and make you look massive. I mean I know there are a few lucky ladies who really don't look pregnant from behind for most of the pregnancy, bitches. It's what happens, I am embracing the extra curves.....hello granny panties :( Also, I suppose this is something they tell you but I never understood, you overheat so easily! It was 100 degrees here (40 C, hello aussie summer!) the other day and I was so so so miserable! Like I just wanted to die...I went through about 20 bottles of water. It made it even worse because Tex and I were out running errands all day so we were in and out of the car. I was miserable....Thank god we will be in America for at least the beginning of summer here....

Looking forward to: We have a 3D ultrasound this week! I am so excited to get a glimpse in and somewhat see what our beautiful little miss is going to look like :) And counting down until we go back to America for Christmas! 10 days! Yay!
