27 Weeks

As of yesterday I am 27 weeks pregnant....which means only one thing......this is my LAST week of my 2nd trimester!!!!  YAY the beginning of the end is in sight and I can't wait!  My little kicker is kicking more  than ever, so much that I can watch my stomach move as he does it, and I just want to meet him already!!  Anxious much?  I know, but I can't help it.  So apparently he is over 2lbs, 15 inches in length, and has more taste buds right now than he'll ever have, even after birth.  Sooooo he can taste and react to the food that I am eating.  Hiccups may start soon which excites me because it's something new that I've never felt before.  Oh yes, and I now have back pain, just great :(  and I'm afraid that my feet will grow in size because I'm on them all day....I've read this can happen. 

Ok now for my rant of the week......why is it that some people feel it necessary to tell you exactly what they think about your current state of pregnancy without really thinking about it first????  In the same week I had a customer at the restaurant tell me that I'm getting puffy....what does that mean???  And she said it all cutesy like it's something I've been striving for and have now achieved.  Then a couple days later another woman told me that she thinks my butt is getting bigger than my belly!!  I was shocked and just looked at her and said "I can't believe you just said that to me"  which is a heck of a lot better than what I really wanted to say!!!  I just don't get it......BUT I've accepted the fact that some people just have no class...AND I'm over it!

Sooooo in other news, we are STILL waiting to hear when we will close on our new house and I am SO VERY FRUSTRATED.  We are still hoping to close this week and move this weekend....fingers crossed

Here's the pic of the week:

How many weeks?  27,  should be about 15 inches long
Baby is the size of : Over 2lbs
How am I feeling:  good but uncomfortable when full and when bending over....such as trying to put on socks and shoes.....and my back has started to hurt more and more.  Its like the aches and pains just hit me all of a sudden :(
Can't eat: nothing really other than the usual stuff you have to avoid if you're prego
Energy level: definitely tired in afternoon and exhausted by bedtime
Maternity Clothes? Yes but I can still fit into some of my tops that I have which I squeeze myself into every chance I get!!  oh and leggings, those still fit. I've also been buying just medium or large size tops which seem to be working as well, maternity sections at stores are often picked over and this way I figure I can still wear post pregnancy.
Movement:  kicking is more pronounced and definitely more frequent
Looking forward to:  feeling the baby's hiccups, and starting my 3rd trimester!!
