Week 27 was a good one physically, but i'm starting to notice things a bit more emotionally. I burst into tears twice this week. One time was justified, the other I honestly couldn't even tell you what I was crying about. I never went thru a big hormonal spike at the beginning of pregnancy so this is a noticeable change. We had a bit of a scare on Friday, but all is fine. Now that I feel him moving every day, and I've learned his routine, when it changed it freaked me out. He hardly moved at all Thursday night, and he's usually all over the place. I also didn't feel him all day on Friday. He doesn't usually move much during the day anyways, but I'll still feel him after I eat, no matter what time of day it is. After I ate lunch, and still didn't feel him I drank a Dr. Pepper. That usually does the trick, but still nothing. I called my Dr just to check. I was thinking it was normal, and they'd tell me to just see what he does tonight, and call back tomorrow if it doesn't change, but my nurse immediately sent me to the hospital. She said anything less than feeling him 4 times per hour is cause for concern. I had probably only felt him 4 times total in the previous 36 hours so this was a big deal! Thankfully they found his heart beat right away, and all looked fine on his ultrasound. They discovered that my placenta is in my front vs. my back. This is absolutely not a bad thing, but baby boy could've just been curled up behind it. They kept me for a few hours until his heart rate spiked twice, but I was still released that evening. Hopefully that'll be the last hospital trip before he's born, but I'm so releived everything was ok. This coming week we have 2 doctors appointments. Tomorrow is our nuero follow up to see if the cyst on the right side of his brain has gone away. Wednesday is my normal OB appointment where we get the results from my gluclose test. Deep breath in, deep breath out. They say to not stress, and relax so I'll be trying to do just that.
How far along? 28 weeks today
Total weight gain/loss? Heavy sigh as I type this, 17 lbs. I'm right on track with where I should be, but that number seems HUGE! Especially since the last weight check I had I was only at 11 lbs.
Maternity clothes? I'm pretty much over my work maternity pants. They're long so I have to wear heels with them, and wearing heels for more than 5 minutes of standing at a time is an absolute NO these days. I've been living in leggings/dresses/ and my flat boots.
Stretch marks? None thankfully.
Sleep? Sleeping like a rock
Best moment this week? No one particular moment, but the whole week went by pretty fast so that was a plus.
Miss Anything? Rare Steak
Movement? Getting stronger every day, but it's still not painful.
Food/Drink cravings? I was on a shrimp kick this week
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Have you started to show yet? The only thing that hides it now is a sweatshirt! Now that we're officially into baby bump, and not beer gut I'm loving it.
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor Signs? Nope
Belly Button in or out? It's not an outie yet, but it's making its way there.....
Happy or Moody most of the time? This week took a turn on the Moody Train
Looking forward to? Our Dr Appts this week
