27 Week Bumpdate

I love a good hair day!

Size of Baby Andrew: About 2 pounds and 14 1/2 inches tall and he is opening and closing his eyes now! 

Feeling: Thankful. Honestly I am so thankful to be carrying this sweet boy, and it is also really hard. Physically, I'm working through the siatic pain that comes and goes, restless legs at night, and lots of contractions these days. Fighting a cold-type thing too so I'm super tired today, but even so: so thankful and so joyful. 

Fitness: Windy evening walks are my happy place

Sleep: Sleep is mostly going good. I struggle with insomia really bad during pregnancy so I take Unisom and it has been an absolute game changer. 

Best Moment From Last Week: It's been a really simple week over here. Nothing crazy, but I did make a solid plan for some meals and snacks and things to make over the coming weeks and freeze. I froze quite a few things with Evelyn and it helped so much. I know we will have help, especially at first, but I'm looking forward to having a good back stock of things for the especially tricky days during those first couple months of getting our new rhythm. 

Movement: In the bath yesterday, I watched as my stomach actually was moving from Andrew moving in there. I don't remember that happening much (and definitely not this early) with Evelyn!

Cravings:  Soups and smoothies.

Total Weight Gain: 16 lbs

What am I looking forward to this week: Ultrasound in 1 week! Can’t wait to see my boy again 😍 And we are having a birthday party for my niece's first birthday this weekend. It will be so fun to have a big family party!

Milestones:  Last week of second trimester! It has felt incredibly quick since I felt so sick so far into it, but I’m glad to be on the home stretch of seeing our boy soon!

Fashion: I know I've talked about hair a bit already, but I love how easy my second and third day hair is! It's fun to feel cute with such a quick getting ready time.

How is Daddy and Evelyn? 

Evelyn learned how to ride her bike this week. She LOVES it so much! It melts my heart to see her wild joy for something

Joseph has been so so helpful with massage to help me sleep in comfort. Thank you Sweetheart!!
