Bump Day: Week 27

How far along? 27 weeks.  One more week down.

Sleep? Eh, not like I used to.  I wake up every 2 hours or so to turn over... And for me, that's like running stairs.

Maternity Clothes? Pajama pants and XL t-shirts.

Stretch Marks? Nope.  I'm as large as a full-term pregnant Mom with one baby and still no stretch marks.  I'm crossing my fingers, but I have about 6 more weeks to go for our goal.

Best Moment this week? I've been given Wheelchair privileges by my doctor.  So, Saturday and Sunday Brian got to push me around the hospital for about 30 minutes.  It feels so nice to see people and other places besides these four walls I stare at all day.

Miss Anything? My DVR.  Normal clothes, shoes, and makeup.
 

Movement? Definitely.  Especially at night, when I wake up in the morning, and during the monitoring.  I'm beginning to differentiate which one is kicking me (or her sisters).

Size of the Babies? Three Cauliflowers! 

Food Cravings? Not really.  The nutritionist gave me Boost VHC (Very High Calorie) with 530 calories... It's like eating pancake batter.  I have to chew and my mouth gets a workout just sucking it through the tiny straw... Yuck.

Morning Sickness? Nope.

Gender? Three girls.

Bed Rest? Still in the hospital.  My doctor is holding me hostage... which is fine by me.

Limitations? Plenty... just hanging out in bed all day.

Labor Signs? I'm beginning to know when I have a contraction.  Not sure if that is good or bad.  They don't hurt me and the doctor/nurses say it is okay to have 1-2 an hour.  Just my uterus preparing for labor.

Weight Gain? 32 lbs.  Getting up there.

Pregnancy Symptoms?  Shortness of breath when I talk too much, roll over, or lay flat.

Belly Button In or Out? Slightly out.

Wedding Rings On or Off?  They should still fit.

Mood? Optomistic.  That's just me :)
 

Looking Forward To?  Our 5 year anniversary on Friday.

What Brian is Saying: "I spent A LOT of money at Babies R Us"... and if you know my husband, he is the most frugal person.  He is always looking at ways to save money and for him to go spend money without me really even asking says he is willing to do whatever it takes to raise these girls.  I love him.
