My life as a soon to be mother of a boy :): 27 weeks!

Well this is officially the last week in my second trimester. WOW! I can't believe this middle journey of my pregnancy is basically over. Here I am 27 weeks pregnant!

About baby:

According to the baby sites my little boy weighs almost 2 pounds. Which is about the weight of a cauliflower! I guess there isn't any more fruit long enough to represent the length anymore!

He's about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He is now sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, my baby's brain is very active now!

Awe he's just growing so much! :)

My belly has grown so much this week! and I have really noticed that my little man has been especially active today! I feel like he's been kicking almost all day. I woke up this morning to my belly changing shapes from him moving all around it was so awesome yet so creepy looking all at the same time. It's like there's an alien in there! It is so amazing to me how fast he changes and grows each week. I smile at every movement.

About me:

I have been absolutely exhausted this week. My back hurts more and more, and sleeping is quite uncomfortable. It's such an event just to turn over at night, plus I still have to constantly pee throughout the night.. and it's still annoying! Even though I have these annoying symptoms I know it is all worth it!

I have been so busy with lesson plans and such for the TPA, a teacher performance assessment I have to do for school. It is ridiculous how much we are required to do. It is overwhelming me and cannot wait to be done. It wouldn't be so bad if this pregnancy wasn't making me so tired! Although until now I've been pretty lucky because I have felt pretty good. Throughout most of my 2nd trimester I have been pretty active and have had lot of energy. Now I'm starting to feel tired quicker than before, and I always feel the need to nap as soon as I get home from a long day! But I usually have no time for a nap! This is reminding me of how I felt in my first trimester: exhausted! I have a feeling that my energy level is going to just get worse for the remainder of my pregnancy. Although I am determined to continue to take walks! I know it is so important to stay active and I will try my best to do so.

Unfortunately this week I just haven't had the time, except a little over the weekend.We went to the park over the weekend with Tess, it was nice!

Tess was so sweet to take some pregnancy shots over the weekend for me. I don't have her pictures yet but Zach snapped some pics too.

So here are a few pics...26 weeks
