This is not the greatest picture, but it is the only one I had and I have to post prego pictures because I never did with Brooklyn. I regret that I do not have any pregnancy pictures with Brooklyn. And yes my butt is huge...it got that way with Brooklyn too...and it is not like I need more junk in the trunk!

Here I am at 27 weeks which calculates to me being exactly 7 months pregnant. I have about 87 days left! YAY for my last 3 months! I have major anxiety issues associated with coming on 27 weeks. With Brooklyn's pregnancy, I was hospitalized for 6 days with preterm labor and then put on bed rest for 11 weeks because of the preterm labor and the starting developments of preclampsia...all starting at 27 weeks!

So for now everything has really been going well. My contractions have subsided, I have only a few a day. I was having 20 plus a day so this is a definite improvement! My blood pressure was so out of control with Brooklyn and so far I have not had an issue. I am blessed at the moment!

Here are a few things going on with me being pregnant right now:

*I cannot get a good night sleep if my life depended on it. I toss and turn ALL night long. I also have to sleep on my sides now and my arms, hips and legs continually fall asleep(SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE).

* I go through a box of cereal in about 5 days, sometimes less. I eat cereal everyday and in the morning two bowls is NEVER uncommon.

*Wade is able to feel the little Mister move, which is always exciting. Wade loves feeling the moves and kicks! Macy even saw a kick or two the other day! I absolutely LOVE watching him move. It is the coolest thing to watch.

*My back has sciatic nerve pains. I had the same back pain with Brooklyn. I can't do anything about it and it is very uncomfortable. I am also having a hard time catching my breath. It is hard to breathe sometimes. I could just be sitting there and not be able to catch a good breathe, so weird!

*I am happy to say that I am still able to fit into my regular jeans. Only my expensive Buckle jeans allow me that satisfaction but sadly those are beginning to feel tight. I actually think I need to now retire them because they are so uncomfortable.

*I feel fat and am starting to get sad about it. I never ever felt this way with Brooklyn. I was very comfortable with my body and my weight gain. However, this time I am not excited about the way I look. I have not been to the gym in a week and a half because Brooklyn has been really sick for two weeks so I can't take her to the kids club, so it prevents me from working out. Now she is on antibiotics so hopefully this we can get back to working out. Maybe if I start working out again I will feel better about myself.

*Oh and I am totally unmotivated to do anything. I think I should start getting things in order, but nope...I have no interest in getting organized or cleaned up. I wish I had that nesting feeling right about now!

*Brooklyn is very aware of her baby brother. She loves to tell me what he is doing, what he is eating and she even talks to him. She is also very caring towards him already. She constantly asks if he is coming on our outings and even tells me to be quiet because he is sleeping! I CANNOT wait to see her become a big sister. She is already such a perfect nurturer.
