Baby girl and me at my lovely workstation. Isn't it so inviting?! I know, you're jealous!
I am now 27 weeks pregnant and growing fast! I had my check up yesterday and here are the latest facts:
- This Friday starts the infamous 3rd trimester! Wow!
- She is measuring a week early. Doesn't mean much, she could slow down or speed up in growth
- We still do not have a name for this little girl! Thanks to my husband's busy schedule and indecisive mind, we have not 100% agreed on a name yet. If you know me at all, you know this is completely stressing me out! I gave him the deadline of April 15th. Considering he hasn't finished our taxes yet, he can knock both out by that date!
- I gained 7lbs last month! Wow! Too many homemade chocolate chip cookies every night! It's okay, though. I'm still weighing in less than I did with Roman at this time. Crazy! Doctor still says that chasing a toddler this time around changes everything and I completely agree! So I'm in for a total weight gain of 14lbs.
- I have braxton hicks every single day, multiple times a day. It's crazy! The doctor says that it's completely normal to have more in the 2nd pregnancy because it's just my body knowing what to do.
- I took the glucose test yesterday. Haven't found out if I passed. I sure hope so because I completely forgot about it and indulged in apple pie and chocolate chip cookies the day before!
- I am a walking emotional time bomb waiting to explode. I'm so sorry if I have cried to you about nothing or raised my voice at you. I simply am going crazy! Never knew my emotions could be this crazy! I always thought it was silly to blame something like this on being pregnant, but I don't know what else it could be. I think it's the extra estrogen from little girl. Sorry friends!
- One day I'll be starving and eat tons and the next, I'll just eat normal. No big changes.
- We can't wait to meet little sister, but also can. She can just hang on and cook as long as she needs. We've got so much to do in her room and so much planning! I'm just trying to enjoy these days of being pregnant and having one very active child. Things are going to be CRAZY when she gets here. I'm also enjoying my 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep! I am not quite ready for middle of the night feedings again! On the other hand, I'm so excited to hold our precious little girl and bond with her during those feedings. Soon!

aww you look great!!! Things are defintely crazy with TWO!!! Enjoy those hours at night now while you can haha, I am now realizing I had more free time than I realized with just one! Congrats- so excited for yall! :)
You look terrific! I had braxton hicks from about week 20 on when I was pregnant with Caroline. Around week 28 I had them like 4 times an hour and thats whent the dr told me I needed to slow down. i just laughed because when you have a toddler there is no slowing down! I felt like she was going to come early the entire 3rd trimester, but she hung int here until the end! Hopefully your baby girl will do the same. Good like on the name...this took us forever too!
