27 Weeks

Seeing as I am in the final stretch of this pregnancy, I should probably do a little update.

Right now, I am 27 weeks. I can never remember my exact number of weeks/days, so I use this handly little app on my phone to help me out. If you are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, get this app.


We are keeping the gender a surprise. We did this with Miss A, and thought it was fun.... so we are doing it again. According to BabyCenter, #2 is a girl, yet according to TheBump, #2 is a boy. In my opinion, that hardest part about not finding out the gender is picking out 2 good names. And regarding names, we have a short list of girl names and we are still discussing a boy name.

Overall, I am feeling good. There are the standard pregnancy symptoms that I am experiencing, but nothing too major. Some symptoms are hitting me a little earlier this time, versus with Miss A, but that is normal. By the end of the day, I am physically beat. I have always been very physical mom - meaning, I am on the ground playing with Miss A, tossing her into the air, playing with her in the sprinklers at the pool, throwing her around the pool, etc. I have not really slowed down on any of those things that I do with her, so as long as I am physically able to give her an airplane ride through the air or let her ride on my shoulders, I am going to do it. This just means that I collapse on the couch or bed at the end of the day.

As far as the summer heat, well I know it is August and I live in Dallas... so it is going to be H O T. I am not shocked by this weather nor am I surprised that we are breaking heat records all the time. Actually, I am surprised that I am not hating the heat that much. Miss A and I are outside for a couple of hours everyday, and as long as we are at the pool I am ok. If I am going to be this big, I might as well have a good tan.

I have always heard that you show earlier and can get larger with each of your pregnancies. I can vouch for that. I think I was in maternity jeans 5 minutes after getting a positive pregnancy test. Here is a picture I took a couple of days ago.

Looking good Mama! I'm impressed with how you're handling the heat. I talk our dog for a walk twice a day and that's about all the heat I can handle! Your bump is adorable. Congratulations on being 2/3 through!
