le bump / 27 weeks

toodle-oo, second trimester!

progress & countdown: 27 weeks down & 88 days to go!

baby size: a cauliflower.

food & drink: working on balancing my energy and staying steady without overdoing it (the stomach makes everything feel gross if i eat heavy meals). right now, it looks like some morning hydration then a workout then my prenatal smoothie (around 7am) then lunch with lots of veggies and some eggs around noon and dinner at 5pm. i am loving spicy and flavorful foods right now.

bump stuff: quite literally growing by the day. it’s wild.

highs: closing the second trimester!

lows: not muct to complain about other than the usual stretching and pulling.

new developments: head to toe, baby is almost 15 inches long and weighs about 2 pounds. baby’s eyelids can open now and blink to respond to light. baby is starting to swallow and digest more so hiccups have started!

meaningful moments & hormones & feelings: we grabbed some of ridley’s baby clothes from storage and it was the cutest! oh my goodness… so tiny.

superficial stuff: working on rolling to my side before moving around so i don’t pull on my abs too much. we are in the home stretch and i am feeling it. everything changes by the day! trying to do what i can to protect myself to make recovery smoooooth.

looking forward to: more nursery things arriving in the coming weeks… the big furniture pieces should be here mid-march and then it is just diapers and you know, all the other things (so many things).
