27 weeks



27 Weeks
Baby weighs almost 2lbs think head of cauliflower and 14 1/2 inches long

Measuring: 2 weeks behind (25 weeks) but OB is not concerned. (Side note: my mom did not get very big with me and I ended up being 8.5lbs, so I am sure baby girl is growing just fine.)

Weight: +9 lbs

OB Visit:
Got my Rhogam shot last week since I am O- and we believe Dave had + blood. I have to get Rhogam now and after I deliver so my body does not produce antibodies. Just standard practice with mother's who are - and possibly have + babies.

Had my glucose screening this morning to check for gestational diabetes. Fasted all night then got to drink a very sugary drink and wait an hour to get my blood drawn. Hoping I pass to avoid the dreaded 3 hour glucose screening!!

The Good:
Feeling great most of the time. No nausea and pretty full of energy! Still sleeping well especially with my body pillow if Dave doesn't try to take it for himself. :) Lots of movement from baby girl. Dave has seen her move as well but when I tell him she is moving and he comes in for a closer look or feel she usually stops, of course!!

The Bad:
My sciatic nerve is bothering me on the right side, most likely baby girl is creating this problem. It really hurts when walking and getting to a standing position. When I am sitting or standing not much pain so that is good. Went to the chiropractor twice this week for adjustments. No relief yet, but hoping soon!

Heartburn is pretty constant right now but not too unbearable, liquid Maalox is my good friend!
