27 Weeks

It is safe to say, at this point I definitely feel pregnant. It's not like I'm having any trouble sleeping, walking, etc. It's just I have a prominent belly and it does tend to get in the way. My whole stomach moves when the baby really gets to going. For the most part he hangs out in the upper right quadrant. The heartburn is back to manageable and I don't find myself really avoiding any foods. I get full fast though and sometimes can't eat all that I would like too. That's probably good though I've gained plenty of weight.

I've accumulated a swing, pack'n'play, several blankets, pj's, more diapers, a baby bathtub, and more new outfits recently as well. I'm amazed at the deals that are out there for baby clothes. I really haven't had to buy any for years because we had so many hand me downs. He still needs towels, washcloths, and some hats to keep his little head warm. It feels good to be prepared. We set the pack'n'play up next to our bed and I can't wait until he's in there.

Seeing the new stuff has gotten the girls pretty excited too. They spent most of yesterday making him pictures and cards which they plan to give to him when he comes home from the hospital. I continue to be amazed at how open their hearts are to a new little one. He will be very loved, that's for sure.
