27 Weeks

Yeah, belly pictures probably aren't going to be happening much anymore. 

•How far along are you? 27 Weeks

•How big is baby?: At my sono yesterday he weighed in at 2 lbs, 5 oz, which put him in the 45%.

•Maternity clothes: All maternity pants and mostly maternity shirts.

•Gender: BOY!! Evan Michael Baxter. 

•Sleep?: I've been sleeping ok.  I'm up about every 3 hours going to the bathroom.

•Best moment this week?: Getting Evan's furniture in and getting to see Evan on my sono.

•Movement?: Tons of movement! The sono tech said he was one active boy!

•Food cravings?: Bananas and popsicles

•Food aversions?: Plain grilled chicken

•What I miss: Pretty much everything at this point.  :(

•Symptoms: No contractions this week (that I have felt).  Still bad headaches.  I feel like I wake up with a headache and have one until I fall asleep at night.

•Milestone: Making it another week with Evan still in my tummy!!!! And surviving my second week of bedrest!  Also, this is my last week of the second trimester.

I had a dr. appt yesterday.  It didn't go nearly as well as I had hoped.  I had a sono and my cervix measured even shorter.  :(  Now it's only measuring 24mm.  I had an NST and had no contractions, but my dr was still concerned about the shorter measurements.  She said if it continues to shorten I'm going to end up on hospital bedrest. :(  That is the LAST thing that I want to happen.  I hate thinking that may even be a possibility.  The dr. said to try laying down more instead of sitting up, so that's what I'm going to try.  I hope, hope, hope that works.  I don't want to be in the hospital!!!  But I do feel like this pretty much sealed my fate on not getting off bedrest until Evan arrives.  :(  Ugh, it's all just so frustrating to me.  I spent the last 2 weeks on bedrest and yet, I'm still getting bad news.  This is so not how I pictured this pregnancy going.  I also took my glucose test this week.  I hope I passed! I go back next Wed. for another sono and NST.  I'm praying that at least the measurements will have stabilized by then, if not have gotten longer, so I can stay on bedrest at home.

In better news, Evan's furniture (and Em's big girl mattress) was delivered yesterday.  Here are a few pics of the nursery.  There's a good chance this may be all that's done before Evan arrives (with the exception of the bedding).
