27 wk update

for those of you who don't know me all that well, i can be a little strange at times, especially about numbers. for instance, i don't like doing odd-numbered week updates (as in, a 27 wk update)--which is why all of my updates up until this point have been even-numbered; however, i slacked off last week, so i must do an update this week. here it goes...

_____________

how far along: 27 wks exactly
total weight gain/loss: +23 lbs...hello 140's...i don't like you very much!! :p
waist circumference: about 36 inches--i did the measuring myself this morning and usually kenny does it to make sure it's in a line
how big baby is: on his way to eggplant-size! 13.6 inches and 1.5 lbs!
maternity clothes: are pretty much a necessity these days. i'm gonna have to buy some bras soon because my pre-pregnancy bras have not been fitting adequately for quite some time.
stretch marks: no, just a lot of visible veins running through my belly.
sleep: it's pretty good. i wake up at least 4 times a night still and last night i couldn't even stay up until 11pm! i think the fatigue people talk about in the third trimester has arrived unfortunately.
best moment this week: of this past week, i'd have to say it's a tie between having a wonderful dinner with my husband at 29 south eats in amelia island while on our babymoon and finding the PERFECT going home outfit for carter (look for photos soon).
movement: yes! it's pretty consistent but a little different than it was early on. it's hard to explain.
food cravings: gotta have my almonds and ice cream sandwiches!!
gender: boy--i'm gonna make them check at our 3d/4d ultrasound in a few weeks just to be sure...again.
labor signs: none
belly button: it's in still, but barely.
what i miss: not having to think about how often i've had fish to determine whether or not i can have some more.
what i am looking forward to: seeing carter again at our 3d/4d ultrasound and crossing off some of the things on my MASSIVE to do list. (props to kenny though for helping me cross off 2 pretty big items yesterday! where would i be without you? and who would move around all the furniture and take me for krispy kreme hot now runs??)
weekly wisdom: none yet, maybe i'll get some tomorrow after going to the midwife.
milestone: braxton hicks contractions??? i think that should be soon.
