27 weeks (1 week late)

How Far Along: 27 weeks (last week) Please excuse my hair! This was at night after playing and chasing Ella, gorcery shopping and I just threw it back in a pony tail. Then I realized I needed to do a belly pic. I have been sooo bad about this. I already regret not taking them like I want to.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am now up to 10 pounds. I gained 28 with Ella, so I hope to come in under that or that amount. No more!!

Maternity Clothes: Leggings have become my best friend! Most of the shirts I wear are maternity.

Gender: GIRL!!! Layla Lou

Movement: Shea really likes to move at night or at around 6 a.m. I think she just likes to move while I am sleeping so that I can't!

Sleep: Getting more and more uncomfortable as the days go! I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs, I never did that with Ella. I pretty much always wake up with back pain. I tried sleeping in another bed and it helped. I think when I have to get a good nights sleep, like Saturday nights before church I am going to have to sleep in another room. Trey is not a fan!

What I miss: Being able to sleep through the night. Having a large wardrobe to choose from!

Cravings: Anything sweet. I went through a phase around Valentines day of craving chocolate and caramel, now it is Bahama Bucks shaved ice.  

Symptoms: None. I never had braxton hicks or cramps with Ella. My water broke and we went to the hospital, no real warning signs.

Best Moment This Week: Sunday morning when I walked into the living room after getting ready for church Ella said "Wow Momma look so pretty!". It made my week! When you have a gigantic stomach you don't always feel so hot, but she made me feel so pretty!!

What I'm Looking Forward To: I am so excited that our Sunday School is throwing us a shower this Sunday. This being #2 and the fact that I am having another girl, I wasn't really expecting one, but I am so excited that we are!!

I also ordered Layla's bedding yesterday. Sadly it won't come in for 4-7 weeks, but I am so excited to finally be able to start on her nursery. I started cleaning out her closet yesterday. Gosh! I remember moving into this house and thinking "There is so much closet space, we will have lots of room to grow." Three years later we are brimming over!
