27 weeks

Here we are kiddos, at 27 weeks, just 13 weeks left of the pregnancy! Yahoooo! I cant wait to meet my little love bug! My belly is getting bigger and bigger every single day, its starting to really complicate my everyday tasks but you know what? I don't really care, I love this bump so much and even more so the little peanut growing inside of it. Well you know how I said last week that I have been bugging my mom to start the quilt? Well we started it four nights ago and guess what?! ITS ALMOST DONE! All there is left to do is sew the backing on and have it professionally quilted (when they do a bunch of intricate stitching to keep the front and the back from separating.) Here is the completed front side of the quilt! AHH I JUST LOVE IT!

Isn't it just amazing?!?!?! I couldn't be happier with it! Now I cant wait to get it completely finished! 

Well other than the quilt, this past week has been pretty uneventful, Sam and I did look at a couple apartments but none of them have worked out so far, but we are going to look at one tomorrow and I've got a feeling that this is the place we are going to call home! So keep us in your thoughts and prayers! 

I've been trying to keep on top with these photos every week, and though it is so fun to make these posts, sometimes I just dont feel like doing it! But I pushed through and that is why you are getting this post tonight! Yay for staying ahead of the game! Tonight when I went up to take my picture I got distracted by the quilt and all of a sudden I see my stepdad, Tony,with a pillow stuffed under his shirt and he was standing with the chalkboard, poking fun at my weekly pictures. LOL. He is too funny, here is a pic of us sporting our "bumps"

As you can see on my chalkboard, this week, Lilliana can taste! In fact, she has more taste-buds right now than she will outside of the womb! So if I were to eat something spicy she would be able to taste the difference in the amniotic fluid. Yes, my little darling has quite the refined palate! 

Speaking of tasting, on Monday I have to take the glucose test at my 28 week appointment and drink the infamous nasty sugary drink. I will let you all know the honest truth about it next week. But from everything I've been hearing I'm really dreading the test. Plus I cant have any sugar the whole day before I take the test!!!! My appointment isn't  until 1:15pm! AHH I DONT KNOW WHAT I WILL DO!!! haha, its probably not the worst thing in the world but man, everything has sugar in it!!! Well kidlets here is my REAL 27 week photo!

How far along? 27 weeks!

Total weight gain: I will let you know next week! (My Dr. will tell me on Monday)

Maternity clothes? Thats all this Mamma fits into!

Stretch Marks? :( boo

Sleep: UGH. my poor back!

Best moment this week: Working on the quilt with my mamma! :) 

Miss anything? Seriously, just being able to sleep on my stomach!

Movement: Oh yes! My little bug is quite the mover and I LOVE IT!

Food cravings: sweets!! and also cheese and crackers! I was craving Jimmy Johns today and I gave in and it was DELISH. Sorry honey! (Sam works at Cousin's Subs... OOPS!)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender: Girl!

Labor Signs: Nada

Symptoms: **TMI ALERT** Im going to come right out and say it, the girls are leaking!!! WHAT THE HECK?! Tonight I was wearing one of Sam's big old T Shirts and he was like "OMG LOOK, YOU RUINED MY SHIRT!" and I looked down and there was a HUMUNGOUS wet spot right where my left boob is! It leaked through the shirt I was wearing and onto Sam's shirt that he was wearing! Seriously, my body is so NUTSO! I thought all this leaky boob stuff was supposed to happen after Lilly got here but nope its starting now! Oh well, just gotta deal. Another one is, Sciatica! :( AHHH! seriously this symptom is NO fun! It hurts to walk or lift or move my left leg in any way shape or form, its also really hard to get my shoes on. :( And last but certainly not least, constipation, ugh what a pain in my butt, literally. 

Belly Button in or out? Flat as a pancake! :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: Quite happy aside from the occasional random outbursts into tears! ;) I was choking back the tears today while watching the game-show, "Lets Make a Deal." Poor Sam, haha!

Looking forward to: Seeing my little brother and sister tomorrow night!!! :) I just love those kiddos, they are so amazing and man, do they ever have LOTS of questions about the baby in my belly! 

I hope you all have a fabulous week!!! 

Until next time, 

<3 Me and L.G.
