It is hard for me to believe I am at 27 weeks today. It seemed as though I would never get here. If the baby was delivered at this point, she has an 85% chance of being born with no long term effects. Sometimes it is still hard to imagine her being here, and having an actual baby. I don't think it will truly sink in until I actually have her in my arms. Everything still seems surreal. It is really hard to explain.
For example, sometimes I look in the mirror and feel like I have always looked like this, and just look fat, and then I look closer and remind myself it is obvious I am pregnant. I don't just look fat, I have a nice round belly with a healthy baby girl in it!
We are pretty sure we are set on a name.... unless when she is born Dan and I look at her and think she doesn't look like one... but as of right now, we will be naming her Brynn Elizabeth. I just love it, and think it is so pretty.
She is so active. The movement I feel is so different than how I imagined it to feel. I thought it would be more poke-like.... it is hard to explain what it feels like. But it is nothing like I had imagined it to feel. Sometimes she moves in places that feels uncomfortable, and I know that will only get worse as she gets bigger and stronger! I feel so big now, and it is hard to imagine I have 3 more motnhs to go!
MEA is this week! I have tomorrow and Friday off of work... and had big plans to get some stuff done with Brynn's room-- since I have done NOTHING-- but already have Thursday booked up, a wedding on Saturday in Mankato, so that leaves me with Friday and Sunday afternoon,we are spending the night in kato so driving home on Sunday morning.
Tuesday, Oct. 26 is our ultrasound-- I am so excited to find out how big she is! I hope I pass my glucose test... I am nervous about that. Then on Thursday I will be flying to Miami for a MYP workshop for work. I am excited, but stressed about it. I have to plan for a sub for 3 days, flying 28 weeks pregnant makes me nervous, and I hate flying. I hope everything goes smooth.
Well we are off to dinner with Nick and Brenda. Mexican tonight. I hope my heartburn isn't too bad, it has been really acting up today :(

A few things: Don't forget to update your blog, even when you get busy. And thank you for keeping it at least a weekly event.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I can be home whenever you need it. Let me know if you ever want help on her room.
Don't worry about flying. Remember, whenever you hit turbulence, it's just the plane going down a dirt road.
Lastly, Mexican sounds amazing. Avocado. Yum. I hope you were able to enjoy it!
CHAT SOON,
