27 Weeks & Counting!

I've read many friends' blogs where they keep track of their pregnancy week by week.  I'm starting this about six months behind schedule, but I thought it would be a fun way to document the final three months of my pregnancy!!  I'll post a picture and answer the following questions for the next 13 weeks (or less!?!)...
How far along?  27 Weeks (+3 days)

Weight Gain: I haven't weighed in for a few weeks, but approximately 24 pounds would be my guess!

Maternity Clothes: I've been at home all week so I'm lucky to be in my comfy LuluLemon clothes!

Stretch Marks:  Unfortunately, yes.  =(

Sleep:  Sleep has become a little uncomfortable as of lately, but I'm still able to get GOOD sleep every night.  I wake up for approximately 2-5 bathroom breaks per night, so it's choppy sleepy, but at least it's sleep!

Best moment this week:  Seeing Reed's "name board" finished and hung on the wall by my amazing cousin, Michelle!  What a surprise to see it finished and hanging above the crib.  (See pic!)
Missing anything?  I miss being able to drink a glass of wine while cooking dinner!!

Movement:  Reed has been more and more active lately.  It comes in spurts.  He's extremely busy anytime I eat ice cream and in the evenings!  I love feeling my baby boy kick and wiggle.

Food Cravings:  Basically, I crave all food.  Haha.  My latest cravings have been Hot Tamales (YUM!), Cherry Coke, and banana pudding.  I guess Reed likes sugar!?!?

Sickness/Symptoms:  I experienced some back pain early in the week so I decided to take a few days off from the gym/walking and just rest.  I'm feeling much better now!

Labor Signs: No way!!  I don't even know what I'd be looking for...Might be time to start reading about all that...

Belly Button:  GIGANTIC.  Outie.  I'm very self-conscience about my belly button...

Wedding Rings On/Off:  On.  They fit great!  :)

Moods:  Happy, excited, over-eager in terms of getting the nursery done.

Looking forward to:  The dresser/changing table and book shelves being delivered TOMORROW!  Eek!
