Baby Delight

How far along = 27 weeks, last week of the 2nd trimester

Total weight gain/loss = +21

Tummy Circumference = 41.5"

Gender = GIRL!!

Sleep = sort of

Movement = Heck yeah, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Best moment this week = Had a wonderful time up in Atlanta and a nice baby shower, but the best part was coming home to James, I missed him a bunch.

Worse moment this week = Pregnancy hormones hit

Food cravings = Vegetables?

What I'll miss = Feeling my baby move inside.

Milestones= James got the caulking in the bathroom cleaned up and re-done and all the mineral deposits in the tub and toilet cleaned while I was gone. Now we don't feel gross if we chose to take a bath.

Extra = Last Tuesday they gave us a gazillion ultrasound pictures. She is cute, for sure a girl, and for sure only one. Despite the fact that I didn't really get any sleep on my trip, I enjoyed it a lot. I got to spend lots of time with Dad, Sherry, and the girls. Rob and Mike and I even went out for a bit. Mom and I had lots of fun at the baby shower and later that night at the RS activity. It was great, and I got to come home with a lot of great things for our little girl. As of right now the name we have for our little girl is Rose-Marie Plourde. Not sure if we are gonna call her that until she is born, but that is what we have picked out as of now.

Baby Growth= For a baby, it's time to trade in the old crown-to-rump measurement for a new head-to-toe standard. So what are your baby’s stats this week (which, coincidentally, is the end of the second trimester)? Fifteen inches — more than a foot long — and triple (or even quadruple) what it was in week 12. Her weight is creeping up the charts as well, coming in at just over two pounds. More big news: Your baby may recognize your voice by now, so feel free to serenade your belly (start learning those lullabies!).
