How Far Along? 27
Weeks
Total Weight Gain:
I was 124 at 26 weeks but this week I weighed in at 122 so 12 pounds gained.
Symptoms: Over
the past two weeks I’ve had some nausea and haven’t felt wonderful. I’ve also
felt some Braxton Hicks tightening in the evening.
Movement? Our
little Cruz is super active just like his big brother. He kicks and punches
like crazy. His little foot likes to wedge itself into the lower right rib JUST
LIKE CASH! It brings back all the memories of my pregnancy with Cash. I also
feel him twitch all the time like something has startled him.
Sleep? Some
nights I sleep great and others I’m awake from around 3 AM until 5 AM. Cruz is
super active at night so that may be part of
my sleeplessness.
Exercise? Cash
and I went to a play date at the Kroc Center a week ago last Tuesday with some
local mamas so I got plenty of exercise chasing him around and climbing the
play structures. Unfortunately, 5 of the kids started throwing up and having
diarrhea all within hours of one another the following Friday so Nick and I had
a very sick little boy on our hands (hence the reason for missing the 26 week
bump picture and post).
Food Cravings:
Avocados, bacon and tomatoes on paleo bread and Culture Mama Probiotic Dip
(soaked cashews, fermented garlic, sauerkraut, kalamata olives) – it’s like
humus without the beans and it’s delicious with cucumber slices.
Food Aversions:
It’s not food but I CANNOT STAND the smell of people’s fabric softener,
perfumes/colognes or anything like that.
Happy or Moody?
Up and down this week. It was so sad to see Cash sick and hear him cry so much.
As a mama you just want to take away your babes pain, but that’s not always
possible. Nick and I did get almost 24/7 cuddle bug time for almost a week
straight so that has been nice. I have also been in full nesting mode so those
are some super happy moments. I keep thinking about Cruz and wonder what he
will look like and what type of personality he will have. I’m actually getting really
excited for him to be here. I can’t believe that I’m already in my 3rd
trimester! This pregnancy has FLOWN by!
Miss Anything? My
sweet CashMan being healthy.
Best Moment This
Week: Putting up the new letters in the boy’s room, unpacking all the tiny
clothes and putting away all the prepped and ready XS OBF diapers!
Looking Forward to:
Getting everything ready for Cruz’s arrival. We have pretty much everything we
need so I’m focusing on organizing the boy’s room, unpacking and washing
everything and getting my home birth kit ready. I will be prepared this time!
