Week 27...is really late

Sorry, sorry, sorry! My down time at work has been filled with....work. And my downtime at home has been non-existent trying to get ready for this move! Plus, I packed up the computers at home, so I didn't have access to blog. I guess I could have gone right on down to the public library, but ain't nobody got time for that. Plus, I don't own a library card. That's neither here nor there. The blog post is happening today - get excited.

We're at 27 weeks now...and 2 days. As I mentioned, our past week has been PRETTY busy. In the evenings after work, Bailey and I have been packing our house - who knew two people could accumulate so much junk in a little 3 BR townhouse!?

Last Thursday, mama and I went to the MOP's consignment sale at our church, and scored some pretty good finds. I was able to convince mama to buy a pack and play, even though she seems to think one won't be needed because Grant will be held every minute we're there. We also found some pretty good deals on some clothes - including the carhartt overalls Bailey wanted :) woo hoo! Grant now has 3 boxes to be moved to the new house and we haven't even had our first shower yet! The boy is loved. I tried to convince Bailey we needed this outfit...he wasn't amused.

Friday and Saturday I was in Warner Robins with mama and the ladies from their church for a Priscilla Shirer conference. I've never heard her speak live, but she was amazing! Bailey spent Saturday with his dad and brother at a speaking event called All Pro Dads where he got to hear from people like Jeff Foxworthy and Mark Richt. It was a good weekend for us both :) Sunday was spent painting the new house - I couldn't stay for long, but dropped off pizza for the guys (and couple of girls). All of that help is GREATLY appreciated!

There's not much else going on in our little world this week besides packing and moving. Thankful for a long weekend and time to at least attempt to get settled in before we leave for vacation on the 6th! Woo Hoo! It'll be long overdue and well-deserved...at least for Bailey who has busted his tail making sure our house is ready for our little family to move into.

Let's see - this blog is about a baby after all, so maybe I should update you on baby/pregnancy happenings, Hmm..I have two doctor's appointments coming up - one on Friday for my glucose test, and one at the high risk doctor on Tuesday to figure out why this baby is so big! We'll find out soon enough! Hormones are still getting the best of me some days - yesterday I cried because Bailey accidentally took my lunch to work. I may have yelled at him through the tears asking why he couldn't have taken a lean cuisine or leftover pizza and had to take MY pasta. I know, it's crazy. I know I'm crazy while it's happening, I just can't seem to stop. ( no worries, an apology quickly followed).

Ignore the fat ankles and fat finger in the camera...

How many weeks: 27 - Grant is the size of a cucumber (15 inches and 2.2 lbs). Apparently he recognizes my voice now, which probably means I should be nice again :)  

Total weight gain/loss: probably more than i'll look forward to seeing on the scale on Friday.

Maternity clothes: Absolutely.

Sleep: This last week has been nothing but solid sleep for me. I don't even wake up for bathroom breaks in the middle of the night - it's amazing.

Best moment this week: Sleeping through the night, obviously!  

Food cravings: Scuppernongs, still. Bailey has a huge vine at work and has promised me some this week :)

Food aversions: nothing much!

Gender: I hope he continues to stay a boy!!

Labor signs: Negative, ghost rider

Pregnancy symptoms: Swelling and pretty bad headaches.

What I miss: normal sized feet

What I am looking forward to: Starting our baby boy's nursery in the coming weeks :)

Milestones: No huge milestones this week :)
