27 Weeks.

How far along? 27 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: 10 pounds total. 

Maternity clothes? Shop Pink Blush Boutique is my favorite place to buy maternity styles... cute and affordable; win win!

Emotions: I had my first baby shower and was so blessed by many lifelong friends who showered baby girl with so many gifts. We also registered to have our sweet girl at the hospital. 50 pages later, it became a reality that we are HAVING A BABY SOON! I also received my free breast pump in the mail from my insurance. It was another eye-opener that she will be here before we know it. 

Next week brings my third trimester, our BIG doctor's appointment, and our first baby classes. I have found myself crying randomly our of nerves, joy, and total fear/reality that baby girl is coming and WE ARE NOT READY! 

What are we most excited about next: Having a few more showers and beginning to see her nursery come together. Her room is EMPTY and it gives me anxiety every time I walk by. 

What are we least excited about: Jeffrey being away while there is SO much to do before she arrives. 

What I miss: My husband and mom. After Monday I realized how much I truly miss (need) support while going through pregnancy life. 

Movement: She is my little gymnast. She is flipping and cheering daily. I think we have an active girl on our hands-- just like her mommy! 

Belly button: Still normal!

Size: Baby Nelly is about 2 pounds still

How I’m feeling: Thankful and blessed. Oh and tired, I am so tired!  

Sickness: none! YAYYYYYY  

Cravings:

• water
• oatmeal
• bacon and eggs
• WINE-- after my shower and talking about it with friends, this mom-to-be cant wait for her first glass of Pinot Noir 

Aversions: Still the same

• Dairy

• Spicy foods
• anything with a lot of different spices or flavors

Physical changes: 

• not much this week. My bump is still growing, but I am not noticing anything crazy. 

Workout: I took it easy this week and only did pilates twice. 

Nursery:  I am beginning to have HIGH anxiety over her room. There is so much to do and so much we still need and we are running out of time. With the holidays and Jeffrey always in Kansas, I am so afraid we will not be ready.

ALSO, A HUGE thank you to everyone who showered baby girl and I with so much love last weekend. We feel so blessed. She is going to be the warmest and most stylish baby in Charleston. Keep a look out for a Blog post highlighting my amazing shower in Atlanta.
