Baby Update

We are almost to 27 weeks in this pregnancy. I have to admit that I signed up for the Baby Center updates just to keep up with the number of weeks! Even getting an email every week, I still have to stop and think about what it said. People ask every time they see me how I am feeling, so I thought I would give an update.

First, no we have not opened the envelope to see if it is a boy or girl I do not plan to do it, so you will have to wait until the baby gets here. We still think it is a girl, but both Jeff and I have had a dream that the baby is a boy. I really thought Carson was a girl until I had a dream he was a boy. Of course the ultra sound confirmed that he was indeed a he! Maybe God is just trying to put a little bit more of the surprise in it.

I am measuring ahead of where I should be at this point. The last time I was at the doctor she wanted me to schedule another ultra sound to check the size. I am waiting until I see the mid wife to make the appointment. I measured ahead with Macie also. Since I never saw this doctor with Macie, I decided to get the opinion of the one who followed me with Macie. I suspect, I will end up having another one, but we might wait a couple weeks to see what happens.

The baby is still moving around. I think I actually have a bruise on the inside from being kicked. Macie climbed in my lap over the weekend and touched the spot. It was very painful. I don't know if it is because the placenta is under the baby or what, but I feel a lot of moving around. I don't think there is much down time.

I feel okay, but certainly not great. I am already over being pregnant and feel certain I will be complaining a lot over the next several weeks. I am tired most of the time. Yesterday I took a long nap and was still ready for bed at 8:00. It is hard for me to get all the stuff done around here that need to be done. I feel huge and wonder what I will be feeling in a few weeks. I still have mornings when I am thorwing up. It is usually related to the gunk in my chest. I will leave it at that! In the grad scheme of things I am doing fine, but I have no desire to do this another time!
