30 week Baby Bump

28 weeks 1 day

27 weeks

Here is my 27 week Bumpdate:

Have been very lucky to not get any stretch marks yet!!
However I probably should have waited to take the pic until my sleepy bed marks were gone....lol

OFFICIALLY in the 3rd Trimester!! YEAH!

So I found out the hard way that when entering the 3rd trimester you need to eat and drink water ALOT more….

I ended up in the E.R on Sunday because I was dizzy, felt nauseous, heart was racing etc…Turns out I was dehydrated! AND while in the E.R I started having Braxton Hicks Contractions so I definitely know what they feel like now!! LOL

Any way, they monitored me and Aaralyn for a few hours gave me fluids, fed me and sent me home…

Yesterday I had my monthly Ultrasound which was great so any worry I may have had was relieved when we got there and saw her again….

Of course she was doing a headstand on my cervix so the placenta is covering half her face but for 26 weeks 3 days she is just perfect!!

Belly Button

Pic of my Belly Button at 22 weeks...Aaralyn was right underneath it and it was morphing before our eyes. It has since gone back to normal and hope it stays that way because I have SERIOUS belly button issues!



The little scar above was from my surgery in Feb '09 which is normally not visible as its on the inside and the one below is from my gallbladder surgery in '97
