27 Week Bumpdate

 

Well I'm officially in my 7th month and third trimester and my doctor's appointments will be bi-weekly.  I can't believe that we will meet our little man in three months!!

 

The heart rate today was 140 and all is well.

 

The little man is kicking a whole lot more than his sister ever did.  That or I'm just smaller so I'm feeling it more.  I mean, the kid never stops.  It's nice to feel his kicks but it's also extremely uncomfortable at times.

I'm now up 13 pounds.  I feel like I am huge now but the doctor says 13 pounds at almost 28 weeks is really good.  That made me feel better because I was worried. 

My symptoms are pretty much the same.  I haven't had any Braxton Hicks since last month so that's good.  Really the only thing that has gotten worse is my sleeping.  I wake up a few times throughout the night just to toss and turn or to pee.

My ankles swell pretty much every day now but I still have less swelling than I did the first time.  I was outside all evening this past Saturday for my birthday and it was hot and humid!  I found that the more I walked around the more my ankles stayed calm.  But sitting at work all day makes them swell.  Oh well.

We did find out that little man is definitely a little man.  He wasn't very cooperative at our 3D ultrasound so we didn't get very many pictures of him.  I go back for a free re-scan on Father's Day!

My baby shower is scheduled for July 21st.  My Mom decided that she is just going to have it at a local restaurant.  It's just easier that way.  I can't wait!

Next Bumpdate in two weeks!
