27 Weeks

It hasn't been fun being pregnant during this heat wave the past week. It's like having a huge heater strapped on the front of you and it's SUPER fun sweating in places you never have before!;) I have been trying to stay cool in the AC and limit my trips outside. I am SO glad that it was cooler outside today...and by cooler I mean 85....but hey, I'll take it.

I am feeling okay this week. I've been having some cramping really low on my right side when I get up too fast or roll from my right to left side quickly when I am laying down...it's not fun. I also have been feeling REALLY full after I eat. Almost like I need to take deep breaths or something to make room...it's weird.
One more thing to report....Landon is still kicking my bladder ALL the time....it's a fun game for him!;)

Other than that, I had another doctor's appointment this week. His heartbeat was in the 140's and everything sounded good. I am still measuring for October 6th. Although, my doctor brought up something cool. She jokingly said if I can hold the baby in for an additional 5 days he could have an awesome birthday-
10-11-12. Which, would be really neat...too bad you can't pick your baby's birthday!:)
