27 weeks

*Please excuse the heinous photo, pajamas and hair.  It's been a rough week but I wanted to give you all a 27 week update before we rolled into week 28! ;-)*

How far along: 27 weeks, 5 days  
Size comparison:  Baby is the size of a head of cauliflower!  Yikes!  14.5 inches long and almost 2 lbs.

Baby nickname:  Chupa, Chupaloop
Baby bump:  It's getting uncomfortable to bend down.

Gender Prediction:  Boy boy boy boy boy!

Weight gain: I tried not to weigh myself this week.  I can guarantee it's more than last week, and that's all I need to know.

Maternity clothes: This is a tough one.  My regular pants + Bella band are just not a good option, and 98% of maternity pants don't quite fit right... Sooo, I'm pretty much just calling it good with leggings at this point.  At least they're not smooshing the babe or attempting to fall to my cankles.

Stretch marks: Still stretch mark free.  Knock on wood!

Belly button in or out:  We are still in it, folks!

Wedding rings on or off:  Wedding band on.

Sleep: I feel like I never get enough.  I've been exhausted this week.

Best moment this week:  I think we found our daycare!  Fingers crossed!  We are doing another walk-through/interview tomorrow.

Worst moment this week:  Learning that one of the in-home daycares we were looking into had their license suspended last weekend.  Scary!  Looks like all my nightmares and fears that developed while thinking about daycare are completely founded.  Daycare center it is!  On a lighter note... Heartburn has set in.  The thought of food gives me reflux.

Miss anything:  Clothes that fit.

Movement:  All.The.Time.  Some kicks are pretty darn strong and boy, can they hurt.

Cravings:  Brown sugar and cinnamon anything and everything.  Cereal (Kashi with sprinkling of Cinnamon and Sugar Chex on top) and milk (on the cereal or just in a glass.)  Dijon mustard (and only dijon mustard.  On a piece of bread, with provolone cheese.)  Your guess is as good as mine.  

Queasy or sick:  I'm exhausted.  It's been a long week, and I've had sinus issues and bloody noses.  I started using my NeilMed sinus rinse every day again and putting Ayer gel in my nose which is helping.

Happy or moody: Happy! :)

Looking forward to:  Relaxing and organizing this weekend. This momma needs some rest!
