27 weeks!

How far along? 27 weeks 6 days! (as of Feb 9th)

Total weight gain: 15.8lbs on Wednesday (weighed before midwife appt)

Maternity clothes? 
bought a comfy maternity cardigan to wear around the house.. thought it would be good when lil babe is born too. I bought some purple skinny jeans for post preg! Hopefully they will fit!!!

Stretch marks?
 not yet

Sleep: 
not too bad this week. Although lil man is getting stronger and kicks up a storm before bedtime.. sucks when I am overly tired. But you never get tired of feeling him say "hey mom I am here" hehe.

Best moment this week: 
checking out the maternity ward! We had our tour and classes yesterday and they went pretty well. The maternity ward is nice as all the rooms are private with a nice big bathroom with tub and an area for dad to sleep. I really don't like hospitals but liked how it was a completely separate area and seemed rather cheery rather than clinical and sterile. I def got teary watching the videos on birthing.. seeing lil babies coming into the world is amazing! It still blows my mind what a woman's body can do! Neil wasn't feeling very well so we ended up leaving at lunch time so we still have to do the breastfeeding class. Other than that it went well though :) One of Neil's co-workers gave us like 7 huge boxes full of baby clothes. OMG So nice of them! I raided them and ended up keeping 1 box and a lil box of shoes and socks. I thought it was a good idea to pass on the good deed and give the rest to parents in need. Needless to say they were scooped up quick :) My midwife appt went super as well! My diabetes test came back normal.. only thing to note is my iron is a bit low so I will be supplementing.

Miss Anything? sunny weather! We had one nice day on Thursday and Miller and I went for a walk... beautiful!!! It makes me so excited for spring and taking our lil man out in the stroller and getting some fresh air. It was suppose to be nice the rest of the week but not so much... but not rainy at least :)

Movement: Lots.. like I said he is getting stronger.. that or he has less room lol.


Food cravings:
 I have been drinking apple cinnamon water which is pretty good!
