This past week was an interesting week for me:
- My heart burn stepped up a notch. And I mean a painful "I am always on fire" notch. They say if you have a lot of heartburn, then your baby will have a head full of hair. Man I hope so!
- I need a walker...or at least a masuess to follow me 24/7. This week my back pain (mostly upper back/rib cage) decided to rear its ugly head. I am feeling it everyday and it likes to start early in the evening and not let up until I fall asleep. Sitting up doesn't help and laying down doesn't help. No. use.
- Sleep.. what is that? I may dose off but there is no quality to it. Oh and I need to buy stock in toilet paper...seriously peeing non stop. Welcome to the 3rd trimester.
As you can see from the above, the uncomfortable parts of baby brewing has started. I am optimistic though, especially knowing I am very close to all of that being over.
Russ and I still have no big plans in the coming weekends...just relaxing and tackling 1 nursery project at a time each weekend. I do have my maternity photo shoot set for 11/2 and can't wait to see the end result!
Do have 1 quick question though... do you think it is REALLY beneficial to take a pregnancy class (for labor/delivery, etc)? Still contemplating if that is gonna make a huge difference.
Everyone have a great weekend!
XOXO,
Sherri

How far along?: 27 weeks and 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: Hit a 2lb gain this week which puts me at the big 20. I am starting to swell a lot in my feet by the end of the day so I know I am starting to retain some water. I just need to chug even more water now to make up for it. (Yay for more pee breaks…not!)
Maternity clothes?: Pretty much all in. The only thing non-preggo are my cardigans or jackets as I just leave them open instead of spending OUTRAGEOUS money on preggo cardi’s or jackets.
Sleep: Not too much. I sleep but there is no quality to it. I blame it on the night heartburn, really bad back aches, and potty breaks. I definitely can tell this is the third trimester now.

Best moment of the week: Having Monday off! Momma needed a nice 3-day relaxing weekend…and it was.
Movement: His movements are definitely coming in
cycles now as he is on a sleep cycle in my tummy. I notice him more in the evenings but then
again, I am so busy at work during the day, he may be moving lots and I just
haven’t noticed as much.
Food Cravings: Milk and PB & J’s. I did make some homemade Lara Bars (healthy fruit and nut bars) this weekend and they were delicious. Now I want one at least once a day.
