Pictures with new camera at 27 weeks & 4 days



27 Years & 27 Weeks!

So today I turned 27, and I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant, I'm so thankful and happy for everything I have in my life, I am madly in love with my amazing husband, and already head over heels for this baby, I have a great family and wonderful friends back home (Egypt), I miss them all very much, and hopefully will see them next spring when we get to go home isA (God Willing).
My husband got me the Nikon camera that I have been craving (since mine was stolen from our car a few months ago) So now I can take all the pictures that I want, I took a whole bunch already and I am loving it. I can't wait till our baby is here so that I can take pictures of him isA, that's all so exciting, I really wish the weeks would fly by.
Yesterday we went to Target, and the minute I started walking around I started feeling tired! Pressure on my pelvic bone and just uncomfortable all over! I wonder if this is the way it will be for the next three months! I am not complaining AT ALL, I'm just describing...
I still feel very anxious about the fact that my Nursery isn't even half way done, no furniture at all yet, I'm hoping and praying that we'll get everything done on time isA, but I'm just nervous as the days get closer and closer. I ordered this very luxurious-looking robe and fuzzy slippers for the hospital, and for the winter I guess, I can not wait till they arrive, all I have to get now is the baby detergent and I can wash everything, print out my birth plan, and finally pack "THE BAG", I should have this done within the next two weeks.
My brother reminded me yesterday that this will be my last birthday only as a woman (wife), not a mother, so next year isA I should be a mommy and have my little one to celebrate with us, a very exciting observation.
I now will go do some work for my husband's business, I still love my birthdays, and of course the whole glorious month of October, so happy October everyone, and good luck to you all.

27 weeks (10 till fullterm!)

Today I had a Dr. appointment, it was great, baby's heartbeat was 166, he was active and moving, Dr. told me not to worry about movement as I told her I was freaking out, my blood pressure was good, and everything else was great elhamd le Allah (thank God) I love hearing his racing heartbeat, it makes me so happy. Next appointment is in two weeks, it's bi-monthly now yaay, I love going to the Dr. to get the reassurance that everything is going fine, and now I get to do that twice a month :D

How Far Along: 27 weeks! only 13 to go (10 till full term).

How Big is The Baby: 14.5 inches long, about 2.5 pounds.

Total Weight Gain: 21 pounds

Maternity Clothes: of course.

Sleep: Alright

Gender: Boy :)

Movement: yep, I feel him about twice or three times a day, around 2 pm, around 6, and then around 11 pm :)

Food Cravings: I don't think I have any! just want some herring, and smoked salmon, but not a craving!
 
Aversions: Not a big fan of chicken!

What I Miss: hmmm, sleeping on my tummy, and sleeping the whole night straight.

What I'm looking forward to: My birthday on Tuesday, I'm going to be 27 years old and 27 weeks pregnant.
 
Milestones: Reached the 90% survival rate (if the baby is born premature, my husband hates talking about that stuff)

Symptoms: Heartburn, gas, fatigue, loss of energy and clumsiness.
 
Emotions: Just very glad to be in month 7, the last trimester, almost over I hope, I'm super excited, and super scared, if I don't feel him move when I get up I stay worried till I do! And some thoughts about the delivery gets me scared, I want to pack my bag but waiting to buy my hospital robe and baby detergent so that I can wash his clothes. Mama will be here soon isA. I received my 10% discount coupon from babies r us, so now I can go buy the stuff I have on my registry, can't wait till we do that, hopefully next month. Overall I'm very anxious, excited and scared, but hoping for the best. pray for us :)

Good Doctor appointment :D

So I had my Dr. appointment today, and it was great, I heard the baby's heartbeat, 157 per minute, my blood pressure is good (thank God) , and the baby is upside down, the Dr. says he'll move again, but I'm hoping he'll remain upside down till birth.
On the other hand, I gained 5 pounds since my last appointment, which means that so far I've gained about 16 pounds, that's a lot, I was hoping to stay below the 20 pound mark, but I do not see that happening now since the baby himself will again about 5 more pounds in the next three months, so we'll see I guess.
Got a good tip to drink warm prune juice at night, and right now my husband is at the store buying it :) so that should make life easier.
It simply feels good knowing all is well, since today I didn't feel the baby move :( but I think I did not eat good today, will pick up my good eating habits tomorrow I hope. We'll be going to the farmers market in the morning to get some good vegetables and fruits, so that's good.
Next appointment is in three weeks, by then inshaa Allah I'll be in my third trimester, yaay.
well, until then, enjoy your weekends.

24 weeks and 1 day, it's annoying to bend down now!
