27 Weeks

   This week I am 27 Week today and I am loving it. I cant really complain about being pregnant b/c its been pretty easy for me. Today was a great day. Went to the gym, eat a great breakfast, washed the car nice and clean, laid out in the sun, read my baby book, swam in the pool to cool off, and relaxed with a nice shower. I am lucky and blessed I don’t have to work and be all stressed! 

Problems: Do my feet hurt or do they hurt? YES! At the end of the day my feet hurt pretty bad. I think its b/c I am 1. Heavier 2. I have loosened ligaments in my feet 3. My parents have hard tile floors that I walk on all the time bear foot. I need to keep my sandals on but even with them on my feet still hurt cause they are not super cushioned. I keep saying I need better shoes to support my feet around the house. I came home yesterday and there were a pair of sandal crocks in my room. My sweet dad bought me a pair for the house:) I started wearing them today and I think they will help lots. Love my dad. No other problems besides the feet. 

Doctors:  I had a doctors appointment yesterday and all was good. I love hearing my babies heart beat and feeling him move. I am meeting with a midwife and I like her a lot. She is just nice and care about your opinion and thoughts. She is very helpful in answering my questions and explains things very well. I wish she could deliver my baby but its the luck of the draw with Kaiser. I will deliver down at Panorama City (30 mins away) and who every they have on shift at that time will be taking care of me. They have lots of doctors at that hospital and there will be a doctor, nurse, and a midwife on the floor at all times. I am pretty sure I am going to request whatever midwife is on shift to deliver instead of the doctor. Of course thats if everything goes good and there are no complications. I am thinking I want Norris, my mom, and maybe Norris' mom in the deliver room if they allow that many people. I need to sign up for a birthing class as well. So at my checkup yesterday my midwife and I figured out that I am 27 weeks instead of 25 weeks and 6 days. So its just 8 days earlier then I thought which is good I guess. So my due date would be Sept 29th. In the end it doesn't really matter b/c only 4% of expecting mothers give birth on the estimated due date. I am just shooting for a sept baby cause its sooner :) So next week I will be hitting the third trimester, yeah! 

Movements: Stronger movement and in the last week or so I have been able to feel him up against my stomach. Its so neat. I feel it get all hard only in one little spot and know its the babies something pushing up against me:) Its fun to have other people feel too. Last week he did come up for about two day and it was super fun to have him up higher b/c I was able to see and feel all of his movements better. I can feel his movement when he is down low but its not very comfortable b/c he is always kicking my bladder. It was serious the cutest thing that happened the other night. Norris and I were watching a movie on night cuddling on the couch and the baby was sitting up higher in my stomach and he was seriously freaking out on the left side of my stomach and Norris just had his hand on my tummy and we were just laughing about it. He seemed to be doing turns, flips, serious kicks, and twitching. Then the baby stopped and all the sudden when Norris put his head on the right side on my stomach to rest the baby start to kick him right in the head, over and over again. He wouldn't stop either. Norris was talking into my tummy saying stop kicking me and he didnt. I was loving this. Its like the baby has its own personality already and he is playing with us. 

Carrying: Still carrying low. They baby normally stays down low and sometimes will come up higher but then go back down quickly excepted for though few says last week. 

Food: So I would eat a bag of popcorn at least once a week if not more. I love popcorn but since I have been pregnant I have not been in the mood for popcorn. I will look at popcorn and go nope don't want any. I cant wait to crave popcorn again. Guacamole, sick!!!! I think of it and its makes me kinda sick. I normally like it but that and avocados on things doesn't sound or taste good. They make my stomach turn up side down a little. I love love love fruit. Oh man I just want fruit and when I have it I could eat the whole bag of whatever it is. I went to Costco bought a huge thing of strawberries and grapes not even a week ago and they are already gone. I am 100% sure I am the one who eat them all too. 

Exercise: Still feeling good to exercise. I didnt really get to much in the past two weeks b/c of our trip at Utah and then I got sick with a little cold last week and I just rested lots. But this week is good, I am feeling sore again and active with energy.
