DATE: May 9, 2011
How far along: 27 weeks! This is the last week of my 2nd trimester!
Total Weight Gained: I gained back 1.5 pounds of the weight I lost.
How big is baby? Nugget is 14.5 inches long and weighs almost 2 pounds.
How baby is growing: Nugget is sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his/her eyes, and even sucking his/her fingers. Nugget's brain is very active now. While Nugget's lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he/she were to be born now. babycenter.com
Maternity Clothes: I'm still wearing my regular clothes.
Best Pregnancy Moment of the Week: Hearing the heartbeat again at my appointment last week. That sound gets me every time!
Movement: Nugget is very active, and spends a lot of time moving around. Lately, Nugget has been attacking the waistband of my pants. He/She hates it when my pants, even loose ones, are over my belly, so I have to push my pants down really low!
Food Cravings: No cravings yet.
Food Aversions: Lemonade. Yuck!
Morning Sickness: I still take Zofran every day.
Gender: We didn't find out! I have a feeling of what Nugget is, but I'm obviously not certain!
Symptoms: Morning (all day) sickness, leg cramps at night (though not severe), breakouts, and tons of strong and frequent Braxton Hicks contractions. Between the tightening from the contractions and my growing baby, I feel like my uterus is going to burst. The contractions are starting to get really uncomfortable.
Exercise: Walking 4-5 days a week, but I had to slow down my pace.
What I miss: Feeling normal. I honestly forget what it's like!
What I'm looking forward to: Getting my gestational diabetes test over with this week!
