I'm so excited I made the tail end of one of these finally! I've been MIA lately just so busy.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 27w3d
Size of Baby: Around 2lbs I think
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +17
Maternity Clothes:Mostly all pants/jeans. I can still manage in some of my loose tops. I was given a ton of hand me down maternity clothes and I love them, so I wear them a lot. So much more comfy.
Movement: All the time now. She hiccups a lot! Unforunately she has found my ribs and bladder
Symptoms: Difficulty breathing at night and beginning to get uncomfortable and exhaustion is kicking in again.
What I Miss: Sleeping through the night.
Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Team Pink...Ellie Jane!
Belly button In or Out: In but getting more shallow
Cravings: Haven't had any craving's yet (at least not out of the ordinary)
Is your nursery done? No, I'm starting to get anxious but we still have plenty of time. We already have the colors picked out, the bedding ordered and the furniture picked out, so it just need to all come together.
Do you feel ready? Getting there.
Overall, have you enjoyed pregnancy? Absolutely, I'm trying to enjoy every minute of this....it's been my dream for awhile now!
This is my first belly pic I am posting on the boards.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 32 weeks 1 day
Size of Baby: Almost 4 lbs! Crazy, because I only weighed 3 lbs 6 oz when I was born!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +26 at my 31 week appt
Maternity Clothes: I am wearing all maternity pants and mostly all maternity shirts, except for a select few. My husband loves when I wear non-maternity shirts because they hug my bump and he thinks it?s cute.
Movement: He/she moves around A LOT! Now I can ?hear? little pops of movement, this just started the other day.
Symptoms: Aches, pains, nausea, some contractions here and there. But the worst is the excruciating back pain! Still trying to figure out if it is baby related or from a serious car accident my husband and I were involved in a couple weeks ago. I am basically bed/couch-ridden right now, because it hurts to get up and move around. Totally sucks!
What I Miss: Sleeping through the night & having my body not hurt! Oh and being able to get up off the bed or couch easily!
Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Team green
Belly button In or Out: In, although sometimes I think it?s about to turn into an outtie!!
Cravings: Cheeseburgers!
Is your nursery done? We just received our furniture on Saturday. We are painting this week and then we can put everything in place!
Do you feel ready? Not really. I?m nervous!
Overall, have you enjoyed pregnancy? The only thing I like is feeling the baby kick! And it?s fun to see myself grow a big ol baby bump, but I am miserable right now and I am SO ready for this to be over!!!
Maternity Clothes: Nothing...I borrowed a lot of my stepmums old clothes as she is a bit bigger than i am and is waiting to fit into them again
Movement: constant kicking rolling and poking its totally awesome
Symptoms: Constant hip pain and sciatic pain, lower back pain, shortness of breath, dizzy spells, mood swings
What I Miss: Melatonin ( i have always had trouble sleeping and unless I dont breastfeed im not taking this anytime soon), Not being in pain, running, whiskey
Girl, Boy, Team Green: Boy...Jack Eoghan
Belly Button In/Out: In but very shallow...it decided to go up so i dont think its going to pop anytime soon but you never know
Cravings: Homemade chocolate chip cookies
Is Your Nursery Done: nope...havent even started
Do You Feel Ready: Somewhat...I dont think Ill ever be fully ready
Overall, have you enjoyed this pregnancy: Overall yes I have, Im just ready to be able to breath freely and not be moody yet at the same time I know Ill miss feeling him move

Cravings: nothing in particular...not enjoying food much lately with the big belly and the heartbearn
Is your nursery done? almost we pretty much have everything, I just need to put it all together
Do you feel ready? I feel as ready as I think I'll ever be, because I know I can't fully grasp the reality until it happens! and I'm def ready to not be pregnant anymore...
Overall, have you enjoyed pregnancy? Sort of...up till this point...but I think 7 months is a long enough time to be pregnant...too bad mother nature doesn't agree!
Size of Baby: About 2.5-3 lbs, according to my iPod app :P
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +7 lbs
Maternity Clothes: Whatever fits, even my hoodies are getting tight. Most of my maternity clothes are short sleeved flowing shirts that I wear under zip up hoodies or sweaters.
Movement: A lot, hes found my ribs... but only the right ones. Nothing too uncomfortable yet, except when I'm trying to sleep, then its just annoying!
Symptoms: Back pain, mostly very low, like tailbone pain. Acid indigestion, bad! I'm now taking zantac and it helps a ton. Before taking it, I would wake up every night, multiple times.
What I Miss: The second (and third...) glass of wine.
Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Boy! Baby Evan.
Belly button In or Out: Flat. Luckily I dont have enough belly button to stick out... I dont want a belly button boner :P
Cravings: Yogurt, onions, but not together!
Is your nursery done? Pretty much, the room was painted with farm animals when we bought the house. Glider, changing table, and crib set up. We just need the crib mattress.
Do you feel ready? No, hopefully my 'baby basics' class will help with that. We're the first ones in our families to have a baby, so we dont have much experience.
Overall, have you enjoyed pregnancy? Kinda. I dont like being in pain and feeling like crap, but its not too bad yet. I like the attention and having people offer to help and I feel a little more important since I'm pregnant
Pregnancy Highlights:How Far Along: 27w3d Size of Baby: I think just over two pounds? Total Weight Gain/Loss: +17 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: I love H&M Maternity! Mostly wearing maternity tops now with my pre-preg jeans still with Bella Band- I HATE maternity jeans,they SO did not work out for me.
Movement: All the time! I feel her all over the place now! She seems to hang out near my ribcage on my right side primarily but I will feel kicks down low or on the left side at the same time Symptoms: Major rib pain!!! What I Miss: Getting a good night's sleep! Having a glass of wine. Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Sweet baby girl Belly button In or Out: Pretty much out finallyCravings: Eggs! Deviled, fried, egg salad- you name it Is your nursery done? No. She will be in our room in her bassinet for the first several months so we are taking our time with the nursery. It is painted and we do have the crib but it is in the box still. We are waiting to do the chair rail and put in carpet, which should be soon.Do you feel ready? I am hoping for a natural, med-free birth so I am a bit nervous about that at times, but I think it will be great. Overall, I feel ready for labor and beyond!
Overall, have you enjoyed pregnancy? There are a lot of adjustments but it is such a wonderful gift to carry my baby. I love feeling her kicks and other little movements all day. I love all of the sweet attention from my family, friends and strangers I absolutely love being pregnant.

Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Boy!
Belly button In or Out: Half out.

Overall, have you enjoyed pregnancy? Not really. I love feeling him move and I have days where I feel cute, but overall I'm ready for it to be over.
My bare belly is going to be first (so I don't chicken out). I can't help but see your "perfect" belly and be a bit jealous, but I've got to get over it. Mine shows a childhood of morbid obesity and the old stretch marks that go along with that, followed by a four year journey to lose 100 pounds. I have so much extra skin, that I am finally starting to get a "tight" belly.
I look SO much better with clothes on
Your belly is beautiful! All of the April mommies look amazing!!! I'll try to jump on the bump pic bandwagon next week!
