27 Weeks Pregnant!

Sep 04, 2012

I can't believe I've already made it to 27 weeks!!! Yikes! It's going by so fast! :)

School is in full swing. I'm getting into all of my classes and all seem like they'll be pretty "easy" this semester which is exactly what I need. I'm back to battling with the pregnancy exhaustion again. It revisited around 24.5 weeks and hasn't let up since. I've resigned myself to this being the way it'll be until after Izaak is here and on a regular sleeping schedule (and who knows when that'll be).

My baby boy is still super active, which I love most of the time, but some of his jabs and kicks are starting to hurt a little! LOL A small price to pay, I suppose, for a constant reminder that he's doing well in there. My weight climbed steadily for 5 weeks in a row, but I'm back to losing this week, so I'm most definitely going to be speaking to my doctor about having a growth ultrasound done (hopefully soon) to check on baby boy's size. Hopefully he's growing like he should. My next checkup is on Thursday and I'll be doing my revised GTT then. I will go in and have my blood drawn downstairs before my appointment, eat something right afterward (I don't have to be fasting for the initial blood draw), and then have my blood drawn again an hour later. My doc will be looking both at my sugars in reaction to eating something and my A1C. I'm certain the drink will make me incredibly sick, so I'm not even going to go there.

My belly is really starting to pop now. I'm still doubtful that I'll have a perfectly round pregnant belly even at the end of these 40 weeks, but I do look more and more pregnant every week which makes me happy. And who knows. I might get pretty darn close to that "perfect" belly. Here's this weeks' pic:
