twenty-seven six two fourteen

Significant numbers on this the 17th day of January....

Twenty-Seven: the number of weeks I am pregnant

 

Six: How many months along I am (funny that it landed on the same day my weeks change!)

And this is the funny face I made at my husband working my camera :)

Two: How many pounds our little boy (probably) weighs right now.

 

Fourteen: How many inches long baby boy (most likely) is right now. (Crazy!!)

I can't believe that in only 3 short months we'll be holding our little one in our arms!  We're so excited to meet him in person!  Pregnancy has been going pretty well these past few months.  The nausea subsided around 4 months, and I've re-gained the ability to eat most foods.  Some things still gross me out and look completely inedible, but it doesn't make me nauseous anymore, so that's nice.  

My cravings have changed a bit - I was only craving all things salty - but it has changed to include sweet - brownies are my nemesis right now.   I could probably eat a whole pan by myself if my stomach wasn't the size of a lima bean - I feel like it's that small anyway.  I take about 5 or 6 bites and feel full these days. 

I have definitely started to feel pregnant.  I've reached the point where it's not easy to sit/down stand up from soft, comfy places, can't bend over to tie my shoes from standing up, that sort of thing.  Sleep has become a luxury as well.  Most nights I start out in a complete upright position with pillows all around me to hold me up and support me.  But by about 4:30 or so I get tired of that and lay on my side, still with pillows all around for support.  By about 5:15 my hip I'm laying on is on fire from laying on it so I roll over to the other side.  By the time that hip catches on fire, it's time to get up for work. :)  Other than that I'm not really uncomfortable.  There are definitely moments - where I can feel my belly stretching or when I can feel him jab me in the ribs or get a cramp in a weird muscle I never knew existed - but all in all my body is proving to handle pregnancy quite well.

The baby's room is still at a stand-still at this point.  Would you believe it's not exactly easy to find lime green curtains?  Yea, we have to order them online and hope the color is true to the description.  So the walls are painted, the crib is up, next come the curtains and the wall art (which I will be painting).  Then we'll be pretty close.  I'm not in panic-nesting mode.  Not yet.  

So that's it I suppose, a quick - er- not-so-quick- little baby update for you. :)

Oh, and one more thing - for those of you that don't know, we have chosen a name for the little munchkin, but are are keeping it a secret until he decides to come into this world!  Just for fun.  Well, fun for us anyway :)
