bump watch


How far along: 27 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: 25 pounds....yep another 5.5 weight gain in 4 weeks! If there is one thing I'm doing right this pregnancy it's gaining weight! lol

Maternity clothes: completely necessary!! my regular t-shirts that I wear around the house are starting to show my belly a little =/

Gender: BOY!! Carson Charles

Movement: he moves around like crazy! Some days he doesn't move too much but other days he doesn't stop....he has even done a complete 180! He used to be butt down/head & feet up, now he is head/feet down & butt up!

Sleep: nothing has changed in this department....it still sucks!

What I miss: can't really think of anything at this point....

Symptoms: heartburn

Cravings: lately it has been ice cream...can't get enough of it!!

Best moment(s) this week month: quite a few things: picking out a name, adding more stuff to his room, getting another ultrasound done, starting to go every 2 weeks instead of every 4, & scheduling the date of my c-section!!!! Yep, you read that correctly, we scheduled my c-section at my appointment today....Carson's birthday will be November 28!!!

Other update: Carson is in the 70th percentile & weighs 2 pounds 13 ounces!! {love that they can tell how much he weighs!!} One of his kidney's got smaller {yay} but the other one stayed the same, they still are not big enough for the doctors to be too concerned about though. Today at my appointment I saw the nurse practitioner and she recommended that we go to St. Louis to get a more in depth ultrasound done & to have a specialist take a look at his kidneys just because the fluid hasn't gone away on it's own yet. I was told previously that I wouldn't have to go do that unless the kidneys got to a certain size {which they aren't yet} but she recommended doing it just to be on the safe side and to have a specialist determine if they want to keep an eye on it from now on or if I can just keep getting ultrasounds done at my doctor's office and so they kind of get familiar with what is going on just in case things would end up getting worse. So in two weeks we will be heading over to St. Mary's to get an in depth ultrasound done!

Ultrasound pics from today:

starting to get some chubby cheeks!

his arm is going across his face and that thing touching his forhead, that would be his foot!!

his other hand is between his legs holding on to his "boy stuff".....typical boy touching himself already!!

Yes, you look super cute! Oh my gosh, that last picture is cracking me up. I guess it's pretty dark in there so if they feel something to grab, they grab it! :D

Your date is perfect...gives you time to get some Black Friday shopping done. ;)

Meagan said...

Thanks Adrien....I think the all black look is helping me out!! Lol! I couldn't stop laughing during the ultrasound when I saw where his hand was!!

I'm not sure if I will get any black Friday shopping done this year...I might be too miserable to do anything at that point!!
