So I went to the doctor last week and didnt write about it but since I have another appointment tomorrow I figured I would write a recap for this doctor. I saw Dr. Lewis this time and what can I say- she is awesome just like the rest of the practice. I am really glad that I have the doctors that I do. I am always able to get an appointment when I need one, they are always kind and they take care of me (baby Lee and Mark) very well. The last appointment I had with Dr. Lewis was diverted to the midwife since she was out on a delivery, but I finally got to meet her and was glad I did. I can feel completely comfortable with every doctor in the practice and I cant usually say that when it comes to doctors.
The appointment was pretty routine. I am a little off my appointments with rescheduling so I didnt have my glucose testing this appointment but they are starting my two week appointments now so I can get caught up. I cant believe I am already at the two week appointment time. I did get a little talking to when I had too much sugar in my urine, however, I guess that will happen when you eat your breakfast of oatmeal (full sugar since I was out of my low sugar variety). I am hoping that I pass the glucose test and baby Lee is fine, but I am not too concerned.
Week 27-
Total weight gain: Guess was right at 6lbs. I am counting that as a win.
How big is baby?: eggplant or cauliflower... I dont see how these are similar however they are where I am.
Maternity clothes?: of course... going strong with a good stock
Stretch marks? none currently- keeping fingers crossed.
Symptoms? well sleep is come and go... swelling happens when you fly and walk too much and attempting to get sleep in a hotel isnt as easy when you are trying to keep off your back.
Sleep?frequent bathroom trips wake everyone up but I guess that is better than not sleeping.
Best moment this week?: coming home from a long business trip.
Movement?: finally can see some external movement. Hilarious and very welcome.
Food cravings? anything that involves veggies... I still love me some veggies.
Labor signs?: nope.
Belly button in or out?: still in but wow does it hurt when it stretches.
Gender? team green
What I miss? cute clothes are still it and a good hard workout. I feel so bad that I cant break an awesome sweat. I am doing well to keep moving.
What I am looking forward to: last business trip is this week. Orlando for 4 days and then Mark heads to London. Looking forward to it being over, however, I do not want Mark to leave.
Milestone: Welcome to the Third Trimester~

Just call me a slacker - I havent posted a single belly shot and I really am taking them. I was hugely bloated this weekend so it was kind of funny. I promise I will post pics soon. I might have to wrangle the camera away from Mark but that is alright.

Stretch marks?: nope -thank the Lord
Symptoms? Morning sickness, pretty much gone still need to stay away from toothpaste.
sore breasts - still sore and growing. Running is rougher than before. Other than that, I am still doing great.

Kind of interesting that yesterday was 10-10-10 and we are in our 10th week of pregnancy. Kind of crazy that we are already in our 10th week. As tomorrow reaches week 11, we prepare for all kinds of fun events. We finally get to see the little thing on Friday. Still crossing every finger, toe and hair that its only one baby. To go this long without that confirmation is scary, but I am excited to see the baby nonetheless. Its a busy week with both work and after work activities, so it should go fast. We had a long day yesterday with both the Bengals losing in the last few seconds of the game and the Reds losing their last playoff game to be swept by the Phillies. Kind of sad, but ready for fall.
Speaking of fall, its in the upper 80's here in Cincinnati for the last few days. CRAZY. I am so glad that this pregnancy wasn't in the summer. I would roast. I promise I will upload some pictures as soon as I get around to it. I have been super lazy (which is no excuse) when it comes to the camera. As the baby bump makes its way out, its only a matter of time before people start to question me (right now I just look like I ate too much).
Some favorites -
Nectarines are still a favorite- in season or not, I like them hard like apples so it doesnt matter.
Meat is still not very appealing. I am hoping this goes away soon.
I cannot get enough soup. I want soup for every meal. Poor Mark is going to have to deal with it.
I have a crazy bout of allergies so the super nose is clogged - THANKS. helps me eat better when smells dont bother me.
Sleep - I just want to nap most of the time.

So plenty of women keep track of how they are doing each week and I think this is the best way to do it. It seems like a common list that I can elaborate on each week. I am sure I will find other things to add as we go along, but for now this is it!
How far along: 8 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain: none thanks to morning sickness
How big is baby?: this week we are a raspberry
Maternity clothes?: thank God for the Belly Band. I am still too small for maternity pants or skirts, but I have tried them on and boy they seem comfortable. I need more support in the pants for a while.
Stretch marks?: nope
Symptoms? Morning sickness, yes - sore breasts - yes. Other than that, I am doing fine.
Sleep?: so far, okay. Full moon this week keeps everyone stirring. One or two trips to the bathroom a night is good for now.
Best moment this week?: Countdown to hear the heartbeat. 7 days to go.
Movement?: none that I can feel, although Charlie cat seems to love to sit on my belly when I get home for work. Mark swears that he can feel the baby or hear the heartbeat.
Food cravings?: none right now, although sushi sounds amazing tonight.
Labor signs?: thank the Lord - no
Belly button in or out?: still in and will be for a while
Gender? not finding out
What I miss? cheeses, wine, beer, normal eating habits. We will see how it goes as we go.
What I am looking forward to: hearing the heartbeat next week
Milestone: only 3 full weeks until first trimester is over.
