27 Weeks

How far along: 27 weeks and 3 days (little late  and no chalkboard update this week due to traveling!)

Total weight gain/loss: Couldn't bear to weigh myself after vaca, will update you next week :)

Maternity clothes? Yes, although still wearing some non-maternity though. Most of my dresses are non-maternity ones (including the dress in the pic above).

Sleep: Sleep has still been awesome. One new thing... apparently I talk in my sleep. A lot. We shared a hotel with the Tolers this weekend and Les said I talked in my sleep every night. One night I even said "Leslie, I am going to spank you". Wow. Yeah, that happened. Also I have been having the most vivid and strange dreams. I hear this is normal...

Best moment(s) this week: Spending the week in Miami with some of our best friends. We had a blast from start to finish! 

Movement: Trey's kicks are obvious now. You no longer have to pay attention to see him moving around. Mama and Pee got to check him out Monday night. Also, a few people saw my shirt moving around in our meeting today- so cool!

Food cravings: I had the most delicious thing EVER this weekend- guava and cheese filled pastries. They were amazing! We had some as appetizers at the wedding then I had one at the airport. I HAVE to find something close to that around here. It's consuming my mind, lol!

Anything making you queasy or sick:  I get really bad heartburn when I drink anything too citrus-y (yes, that's a word) like OJ or lemonade. 

Gender: Boy!

Symptoms: Back pain is getting worse. Also my tummy was SO tight after dancing for hours at the wedding Sunday night- totally worth it though!

Belly button in or out?  In but flattening out more and more by the day. The top is starting to look funny. I think I may have an outie soon..

Wedding rings on or off? On but I can tell when I eat more salt than normal-they tend to get a little tight.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy. I really haven't been very moody since I've been pregnant- and yes, I even asked Jim and he said the same thing! :)

Anything new? Entering the 3rd trimester this week- WHAT!?!?!!?

Looking forward to: The fact that I have plans for the next 11 Saturdays- holla. This mama loves her some football season!

Exercise this week: Aimless walking around stores continues to be my exercise of choice during the week. Also did a lot of walking on the beach and around Miami and not to mention dancing like a fool Sunday night at the wedding. 

According to Baby Center: Your baby weighs almost 2 lbs, (size of a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long! He is also sleeping at regular intervals, opening and closing those little eyes, and perhaps even sucking on his thumb!

And because I just can't stand it, here are some MORE nursery progress pics! :)

A friend at work crocheted this BEAUTIFUL afghan for our little man!

                       

We put his bookshelf in his room and started filling it up!

                          

Pee brought this sweet aluminum coke carrier for Trey's room. My grandpa Boo collected all the bottles from the Baton Rouge bottling plant and it took him quite a while. I just love how it looks in his room.

                          

I have been wanting this basket for a while to use as a laundry basket or for blankets. I finally found it at Target- yay!

Will be posting more pictures and info from our trip very soon. We had SO much fun, but were back to the real world now :(
