How far along? 27
Weeks
Total weight gain: 22 lbs
Maternity clothes? Lots of maternity clothes! Maternity jeans, leggings, and khakis and maternity shirts - seriously, why are they all covered in horizontal stripes? I feel like the stripes aren't doing anything for me (see above photo). Lots of my friends who've been pregnant mention their feet growing in size - but thankfully that hasn't happened to me.

Stretch marks? It has been confirmed that there are none on my belly (according to Stacy) - thank goodness!!
Sleep: sleeping okay - waking up a lot between 3am and 6am and finding it harder to "sleep in" - maybe this is my body helping me get ready for the sleepless nights ahead?
Best moment this week: Getting another giant bag of baby clothes from a friend at work - there was even a Star Wars onesie...that made Rob really happy! Rob also finished installing, painting, and adding trim to the guest closet upstairs and a new door for my closet in the master bedroom. We're putting (well, Rob is) a pretty good dent in the "to do before baby arrives" house list.
Miss Anything? my old body? Every morning when I look in the mirror I think, how will I get any bigger? Will I have clothes to fit? And, man it's going to suck trying to lose all the weight after the baby gets here. I also miss diet coke on a regular basis :)

Movement: pretty much all day long - and I swear he had hiccups yesterday. I haven't seen any of the super big movements across my stomach - but lots of swishes, rolls, and kicks. I still wish I could somehow see what's going on inside there all the time!
Food cravings: still tons of chocolate milk, soft pretzels, white cheddar popcorn and I had a real crazy moment on Monday night. Rob was at the gym and I texted him saying that I REALLY needed Greek Express for dinner and could he call me on his way home from the gym. 5:00 - no call. 5:15 no call. Mind you, I called and texted him several times at this point. 5:30 he rolls in the door with NOTHING! I thought I was going to lose my mind. He said his phone was in the bottom of his gym bag and he didn't think about checking it - needless to say, he drank his protein shake and was out the door getting us some Greek Express for dinner. There original hummus is SO good!
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Sore hips (that's a fairly new development - and usually goes away), rib pain in my upper ribs - but, my hair is looking great! It is fuller and less unruly -- way easier for me to straighten these days.

Belly
Button in or out? still in, but I swear it could pop out at any moment!
Wedding rings on or off? wedding ring on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Mostly happy - but do have moments of panic, like yesterday morning when I realized just 12 more weeks until the baby gets here! I want that nursery to be mostly finished soon!
Looking forward to: baby showers! My sister sent out the cutest invites with elephants on them for a date in early March! We also have an upcoming trip to Phoenix over my birthday. And next weekend we are going to Dayton to celebrate my birthday with my family and are tacking on a trip to IKEA too :)
