27 weeks with Baby No.3

I had an OB appointment Oct 1st and everything looked good, no signs of labor. I go back the 15th and hopefully it'll be the same. My doctor said to take it easy and avoid long walks, i.e. the zoo, grocery store, Target. I am still getting out of the house but I plan to scale way back on that.

How Far Along: 27 weeks

Size of Baby: 14.5 inches, 2lbs

Total Weight Gain: 15ish lbs

Maternity Clothes: yupp

Gender: boy!

Movement: yes, lots

Sleep: pretty good

Best moment of this week: the best moments are usually when Sean is interacting with the baby...err..my belly. We explain to him there is a baby in there and he'll say "patience". Because we tell him the baby will come out eventually but we have to be patient. Or he'll say "baby's kicking". He hasn't felt a kick yet because a toddler hasn't the time to leave his hand in one spot for more than 3 seconds! You can see the baby move from the outside so I'm hoping Sean can catch a glimpse of that and start to understand a little more.

Food Cravings: sweets, not sugary candy sweet but chocolate, bready, cookie sweet...mmm

Symptoms: more achy this time than with first two, but I guess that's just how it goes both as I age and as I carry more children

What I am looking forward to: meeting this little guy of course! Not too soon though =)
