27 weeks- hello 3rd trimester!!


How far along? 27 weeks

Size of baby? My app saysthe size of cauliflower

Heartbeat? 142 BPM at the last apt

Total weight gain/loss? +8

Maternity clothes? Yep! I wear the same 10 things over and over. I guess I need to start accessorizing better so I don’t feel so frumpy all the time.

Stretch marks? Not yet, and no dark line yet but still tons of veins everywhere! And my skin is SUPER sensitive. If I scratch ever so lightly I’ll have red lines running down for a long time later!

Sleep? Sleeping is good.  

Best moment this week? Started painting the stripes in the nursery. They're going to look super cute!

Movement? Lots of movement usually at night. Last night I think she was having a dance party.

Food cravings? Nothing in particular. Although, I can't gorge myself I've noticed, because it makes everything feel too heavy and bloated and sometimes causes me to get sick.

Gender predictions? GIRL! We had several names we entertained. The first we thought we liked was Brielle. Then Anthony said if she was mean people would say her name like a witch. Then I found Briella but I didn’t like it because it was too close to Isabella. Then we toyed with Gianna for awhile but I didn’t really like it for a baby or little kid. I thought it was a pretty adult name but not kid name.
Then I bought a book of 60,000 baby names and found Emilia pronounced Ema-Lea.It means soft spirited.
So that’s the name so far!
We debated on middle names for awhile too.
He wanted to use Bella’s name, Marie, but I didn’t really like that idea and Bella wasn’t too shot up about it either.
So the three we played with were Sophia, Natalia and Grace. I liked Grace because I think it needs to be a shorter middle name with Emilia and Piccolo.
So as of right now the name is Emilia Grace Piccolo!! If she comes out and we don’t think she looks like that we’ll reconsider at that time. We’ll call her Emi for short!

What I miss: Doing things for myself. I hate having to wait for someone else to do something that I would normally do myself with no problems.
What I'm looking forward to: Finishing the big things in the room this week. The stripes should be done Friday and then I'm getting a new fan and blinds hung on Saturday. Then the next weekend the furniture will be here so I can start decorating and doing the fluff stuff which will be fun.

How are you feeling? Still dealing with a cough, but no scary blood pressure drops this week. The cough only bothers me at night and early in the morning so most of the time it isn't a big deal.



I made Anthony take it before work this time so I didn't look so rough in this picture!
