27 Weeks

We've made it to 27 weeks!

This is the last week of the 2nd trimester, so we are about to hit another milestone!

Baby Bean is just kicking away in his happy home, too!  He sure is active now-a-days!

Baby Bean weighs up to 2.5 pounds by now, about the size of a head of cauliflower.   He's not just getting bigger, he's getting smarter, too!  This week, Baby Bean is showing brain activity and he will keep developing more and more!

Mom is doing as well as can be expected.  This pregnancy has been very different than the first.  With sciatic nerve pain and pelvic pain, getting around isn't the most fun!  Let's just hope I don't have to go anywhere fast!  Otherwise, Mom is starting to feel some braxton hicks contractions and all the other fun side effects of pregnancy. 

On a positive note, the gestational diabetes class was a fast course since I had already participated just last year.  The nutritionist reviewed my diet and my daily log of glucose tests.  We agree that as long as candy and cake is taken in moderation, then things should be just fine!
