27 Weeks

How far along: 27 Weeks.

How big is baby: The size of a head of Cauliflower (almost or at 2 lbs)

Total weight gain: 20+ lbs….. I turn my head at each appointment now.

Sleep:  Doesn't exist, but what’s new. Can’t get comfortable no matter what position I’m in.

Best moment of the week: Getting to meet my friends handsome little baby boy that arrived on Wednesday evening. He is so tiny and adorable; it makes me so anxious for this little girls arrival. We also got to buy our tree and decorate it this week! It’s starting to make it a reality that Christmas is only 13 days away. Coming up next week I’ll be posting Santa’s cookie recipes. I told the kids they could each pick a cookie for us to make for him, so we shall see what they choose.

Food Cravings:  Just sweet awful processed crap and coffee creamer in coffee….but it was short lived. I now don’t want it haha.

Food Aversions: I got nothing.

Symptoms: My stomach feels like baby girl is trying to burst through whenever she stretches, kicks, rolls, or moves. My back hurts after being on my feet for more than 30 min. Christmas shopping has mostly been online for this reason. One loop around the mall and I’m dying.  

Mood: Up and down. Sadly I found out my Aunt (Titi) passed away last night so I’m pretty sad about that. She was the sweetest woman who always gave you the best hug and compliments. I’m glad that she isn’t in pain any longer, but she will be missed by all of us.

Movement: Just think of the movie Alien. That’s what it’s like at this point.   

What I’m looking forward to: Christmas still, and for time to just fly by. We are down to 11 weeks!! I have all my Dr. appointments scheduled. Now let’s start stock piling baby stuff!!!

25 and 26 weeks

How far along: 26 Weeks.

How big is baby: Some people say an Eggplant some people say some root veggies…. Use your imagination.

Total weight gain: 20+ lbs…..

Sleep:  I don’t understand this word??? Let’s see…since I wasn’t able to post last week, I have gotten a stomach bug and baby girl grew a gazillion lbs overnight SO between those two things I’ve gotten minimal hours of sleep. If you could see the way I have my side of the bed setup in order to minimize hip pain, waking up with acid in my mouth, and easier turning radius, you’d probably laugh. I’m basically sitting upright with two pillows against my headboard. It’s the only way I’ve found I can sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time.

This is my sad picture of how big my belly is. Ryan took me hunting and obviously I no longer fit into my overalls haha

Best moment of the week: I guess this should actually say best moments of the last 2 weeks.  Thanksgiving was very nice, we had immediate family over and I baked entirely way too much haha. I may or may not have overdid it. I got some good deals online for Christmas gifts. Like I said before baby Lundberg has grown huge in the last couple weeks and my stomach has stretched tremendously, any moves she makes aren’t feeling very cute anymore. Worst moment of the week would have to be getting the stomach flu and having to get a couple IV bags to re-hydrate. Last night the kids got to get all dolled up for their Christmas program and they looked SO handsome/beautiful!!!

Food Cravings:  Well once I actually had an appetite  I craved French fries of all things…. Weird.

Food Aversions: All things this week. I wanted nothing to do with food.

Symptoms: Random back aches, ligament stretching, stomach itches to no avail, any movement feels like she’s trying to burst out (alien style) and acid reflux at night.  

Mood: I’ve been pretty ok. Tired….I guess. Is tired a mood? Sleepy?  

Movement: Well she has officially discovered what feels like every single one of my organs. She moves most of the day, takes a cat nap and then runs a marathon in my uterus.   

What I’m looking forward to: Christmas! We are hopefully decorating this weekend and getting our tree next weekend. We are also getting close to single digit weeks left!!! 12 weeks!!!!
