Now announcing our baby girl's full name!

This picture is also a little nursery preview!

How far along? 27 weeks and 6 days! Bring on the third trimester!

Total weight gain: 14 lbs!

Maternity Clothes? Yupp, almost cold enough now to break out the maternity winter jacket! 

Stretch Marks? Nope but getting very nervous that they might be on their way.

Sleep? booooo. That's all I have to say.  

Best moment this week: Finally Deciding on our little girl's middle name! It was even Daddy's pick :) 

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Miss anything? Not having to go to the doctor 3 times in one week- yuck!

Movement? Lots! Movements are getting so strong these days! 

Food cravings? Nothing weird! 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope  

Have you started to show yet? hahaha.
Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: back pain and sooo tired!

Happy or moody most of the time? This week I've been quite moody. Poor Paul.

Labour Signs: No!

Belly Button in or out? Out. I felt Paul's belly button at some point this week and was amazed at how 'deep' it was. I forget what mine used to be like.  

Looking forward to: Getting answers to my health concerns!

This week was the first time I didn't have Paul with me at my prenatal appointment. Of course it would be one where a major health concern arises. I have always had weird pains in my chest as if my heart is skipping beats but it would come and go and only happen on occasion. Well, in the past couple of weeks it has happened on a daily basis. I have a very strong family history of heart problems. This concerned the doctor leading to me having to get a Holter monitor (a heart monitor that I had to wear for 24 hours strait)and a referral to a cardiologist that follows pregnant women and a bunch of blood work to be done. 

It is all quite nerve raking. We hope to get some answers about what is going on soon! I also received my Rhogam shot (ouch!) and did my glucose test this week. I didn't mind that orange drink at all. It was nice and cold and I didn't have to feel bad about drinking something so sugary- it was great! 

Here's my little cutie keeping me company on the couch this week!
