A day late publishing this post, but I had it written yesterday!
Today marks 27 weeks and I am starting to feel a little more pregnant. I waddle, I really don’t like wearing anything other than slip ons, and my legs are catching it from the instant weight gain. I weigh 121lbs with a total gain of 16lbs. I managed to put on the last 4 pounds in a week! Now that’s not a bad thing, I’m just amazed. I didn’t get a chance to prepare or anything. I know that if you should gain more than 4lbs in a week you should contact your doctor, but I gained exactly 4lbs so I’m fine. I already went up a bra cup, now I will need to go up a size too. I’m on the last hook and it’s still tight on me. I just bought new bras around Christmas and now I need to buy some more! When I lay down it feels like there are bricks smooshing me into the bed. Each night I feel like I need a full body massage. I’m starting to breath heavier as well. I’m starting to lack energy and I’m trying to cope. It’s always nice to relax, but I have a lot of business related tasks on my todo list. There’s no way that they can be put on the back burner. At any rate, I am getting enough rest. When my body starts to give up, I lay down immediately. JT is definitely getting bigger. I can press on my stomach and feel him. His movements are also getting much stronger. I can’t believe there’s a baby inside!
I’m just enjoying being pregnant. All of the changes going on with my body are more amazing than a pain. Next week I’ll be starting my 3rd trimester! This is all happening so fast! We also have a doctor visit on Valentine’s Day, hoping we can see JT’s face again!
So this is what pregnancy is all about…I’m getting to the good stuff now!
(We have been keeping weekly accounts of our pregnancy since the 22nd week. If you’re interested in reading weekly updates prior to or following this one, click here!)
You’re in the best part of pregnancy!

You are simply amazing! You are honest to goodness the first woman I have ever heard that has been positive about their pregnancy, usually all I hear from pregnant friends is the complaining about aches and pains. Thanks for giving me the hope that pregnancy doesn’t have to be all aches and pains and complaints!

cool. I’m glad to hear that miss skinny is gaining weight! You just now gave me the courage to post pictures, and take a picture of the scale’s honesty. I too am experiencing boob growth. Just wait until your baby pops out! My goodness! The growth at that moment–just disgusting!
PS: You have a super-riffic attitude on the inevitable bodily changes! Kids really are worth every ounce of gain, every back cramp…and yes, the stretch marks.

Don’t do what I did, I gained 65 lbs. with my pregnancy. I went from 130lbs. to 195lbs! I was eating everything like meat, when I was a vegetarian. It was crazy! I was miserable by the end. But all worth it
