So today marks the beginning of the end. And I am not sad about it at all! I just hope I can make it through these next 13 weeks. I feel good for the most part. I am starting to be uncomfortable more often than not though. The bulk of the discomfort is on my left side - rib cage. I am wondering if my ribs are expanding and causing some muscle tears. The nurse tried to tell me it was heartburn several weeks back when it hurt but I refuse to think that is the culprit. I get heartburn - I know what it feels like and how to control it. THIS IS NOT HEARTBURN! The only relief I get is if I lay on my left side with a pillow under in my side or if I stretch my arm way up.
I am sitting at the dentist office - not an exciting event for sure. We (my hygenist and I) have pushed back my cleaning 2 times because I just didn't think I could handle it in the first or second trimesters without tossing cookies. Hopefully I will survive this. She is patient and already knows how much I dislike these visits to begin with so being 27 weeks pregnant is just icing.
We got to do a 3D/4D ultrasound last week and see Sophia. She was being a little stubborn (faher's daughter...) but we were able to see her little face which made me super happy. She looks like she will have the Combs eyes and the Cook nose. We think she is pretty adorable :) She is staying pretty low and usually spine up. This makes it harder to feel kicks but it means she is close to the position she will need to be in make her grand entrance which I like! I still feel her kick several times a day and she responds to music and position changes so I don't worry about the lack of feeling her kick all the time.
Still no major cravings but I looooove baked potatoes right now! They make me all kinds of happy. Weight gain is still minimal which I am so happy about. 12 pounds so far. I am hoping I can keep it to under 20. It will be hard with Thanksgiving and Christmas though.
That's all I have :)
