How far along: 27 weeks and 6 days
How much weight gained: 3 pounds, officially am over my starting weight.
Symptoms: Still thirsty!
Sleep: The past few weeks have been pretty good for sleeping. I seem to be sleeping soundly since Jeff went back to the 2-10 shift at work. I stay up later to see him when he gets home, so it helps me to fall asleep faster.
Best Moment of the Week: We went to Norwalk raceway on Saturday for the NHRA drag races. We were able to meet a few of the drivers, they also signed a bib for Brynnlee.
Cravings: Still ice cream!
Movement: She has been moving the most after I get home from work and when I go to bed. Her movements are getting stronger and sometimes almost knocks the wind out of me.
Milestone of the Week: I had my 28 week checkup today, it was a day early due to the doctor being out of town. Starting this week I will be going every two weeks. I met with the nurse and the doctor today. We briefly discussed the birth plan, pediatrician and a few other things. I also had my glucose test today, hopefully the results will be in tomorrow. They also gave me the Rhogam shot, right in the hinney!
The next appointment will be July 15th, it will be another quick one. Jeff will be able to come to that appointment, he had to miss today's appointment due to work. I am off to pack for our trip up north for the 4th. Munising here we come for a weekend of rest and relaxation.

26 Weeks
How far along: 26 weeks and 5 days
How much weight gained: not sure, didn't step on the scale this week
Symptoms: Hunger is going up and down. Some days I can eat hearty meals, and other days I eat light. My thirst has really kicked in. Water doesn't always quench my thirst so I am constantly drinking juices and sweet tea.
Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well through the night, toss and turn here and there. Jeff also reminds me often to lay of my left side rather then my back because it is better for blood circulation.
Best moment of the week: While up north in Harrison we were able to watch my stomach jump up and down as Brynnlee moved all around. Jeff and I laughed as we watched my stomach bounce and roll around.
Cravings: I am still on the ice cream kick, not sure if its a craving or my thirst. I have become so thirsty that nothing will quench my thirst.
Movement: She moves pretty steadily at four times of the day: midmorning, right after lunch, when I lay on the couch after work and when I lay down in bed. I feel her move around at other times, but I think she is like her mom and not a morning person because I don't feel her much in the mornings.
Milestone of the week: Brynnlee had her first unofficial trip to Harrison, which is where both my parents and grandparents have cabins. She also had Buccilli's pizza for the first time, which is wonderful pizza!
