27 Weeks

What's been happening: 

He is now approx 1kg and 38cm from head to heel. He now sleeps & wakes in regular intervals & may begin sucking his thumb for comfort.

I've been getting chronic heartburn as of late & it is going to be the death of me!! 

Weight Gained;I shudder at the thought this week! I hate to be a stuck record but I'm really not dealing with the extra kilos very well this time around. It's just not the same experience for me- I do realise every pregnancy is supposed to differ but when you've been through it before its hard not to have some expectations. Last time I enjoyed it immensely, this time... Yeah not so much. And I am soooo utterly over my boobs, they are so national geographic!

Workouts: Well I went to spin class last Sunday and that sucked. Big time. It had been 3 weeks since I last did it and that 3 weeks made the world of difference. I think he is sitting really high up though so bending over the bike was just a nightmare. I've had two other gym workouts this week & they've both been really good, one cardio based & one strength training session. In saying that, today is day 3 without moving a muscle & I'm feeling particularly lethargic/ rotund- I will definitely be headed to the gym tomorrow morning. 

Movement: I'm starting to notice some patterns with his movement now- which is mostly just sleep all day & go hard at night, I actually thought he might bust through my belly button last night. Upon reading up on trusty google- I discovered movement is generally felt the strongest at this point in the pregnancy as its the only time when they're a decent size & still have some extra room to do plenty of activities before it all gets too cramped. 

Food Aversions: Vegetables?? I'm enjoying general salad stuff like spinach tomato cucumber etc still, but I'm not feeling broccoli or cauliflower or anything like that at the mo... 

Food cravings: Still on the cheese buzz, cheese is great with anything lately. Cheese & vegemite, cheesy quesedillas (recipe to come), cheese on crackers, yeah you get the gist... I had decided to eat better this week (as previously mentioned) but it definitely didn't happen. I think whenever I do that- say I HAVE to do something, I just won't. So this week ill just aim to do what I can to better my intake.. Conveniently Monday is tomorrow- perfect day to start fresh! 

Sleep: Bloody terrible this week, it's been way too hot + Blakes been waking a bit + karate kid is in full action man mode at midnight.. I'm now using a pillow to prop a leg up which is heaps comfier. Hopefully I get in a good night tonight! Bags for miles.... 

Miss anything: I'm starting to sound like somewhat of a booze bag but GOD I want beer!! I've never had a beerless summer in all my drinking days, it is tough. 

Fun/ interesting things for the week; 

Not a lot really- we are struggling to say the least to come up with any potential boy names. Literally- zero, zip, zilch. I fear he will be "boy" for an inappropriate length of time... 

Stretchmarks; Nope!

Happy or moody: Tired.

Looking forward to: Meeting him! It seems as though it will come around very quickly now, I remember feeling like a snowball rolling downhill after 30 weeks with Blake and before we knew it- poof! Hello tiny infant! My vagina is wincing at the thought... 

Bump update:

This is my bump at 7 weeks compared to 27 weeks, crikey!

(Yes I do have to mix n match my togs now otherwise everyone sees my nipples)
