| Cauliflower was too boring and the lack of hockey in our lives right now is pretty depressing so we went hockey themed this week! |
How far along? 27 Weeks
Total
weight gain/loss: 16.8 lbs. I still have 13 weeks to go so I do not think that I will stick to my 25lb. goal. Maybe 30lbs. gained will be my new goal!!
Maternity
clothes? Yes.
Stretch marks? No. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Sleep:
Sleeping great. This past week, I have woken up about 3:55-4:15am everyday to use the restroom and Leland is doing back-flips!! It is amazing how much you can actually feel. Sometimes I get a little concerned about all of the movement I can feel.
Other symptoms: Since this is a blog where I plan to keep track of my pregnancy (changing life and crafting creations) I guess I need to add this to the weekly update! I have developed varicose veins. Not the most pleasant things to have. I have made it 27 weeks without any pain or sickness so I am not complaining...yet! They are pretty painful when I stand up a lot, which is something I do for about 5 hours a day. Teaching is not a job where you can sit all day, especially when you teach 4 year olds! I am constantly walking around, helping children, walking up flights of stairs, playing with them on the playground, and moving from one place to another. I have tried to make an effort to sit down as much as I can. The kids bring me pillows from our cozy corner to sit on and are super sweet! I try to take our puppy baby on a walk each day when I get home because he has been by himself in the house for 6-8 hours and I feel horrible about that! Then, I take a warm bath each night and ice the veins. Awesome. Hopefully they won't get as bad as some of the comments that I have read from people on pregnancy blogs!
