27 weeks

Tija had her baby last Wednesday! Arijah Elizabeth Balsimo. I went to the hospital on Thursday with Brittany and oh my what a pretty little thing. We can all admit that even if we say babies are beautiful, most of the time we're just being nice. But, that little girl is certainly beautiful. If our baby is weird looking, I'll know, but feel free to tell me it's beautiful.

Ben and I went to a breastfeeding class on Tuesday. My favorite quotes from class "troubleshoot your boob." Did you know that your body can tell that when you are hot when the temp is high your baby is probably hot and needs more water and with that your breast milk will have a higher water content. Go body! Anyway, if you're looking for info on breastfeeding, though I dont have any practice I do have a massive amount of knowledge to share.




How far along:
27 weeks

Maternity Clothes: Seri
ously, Spring, where are you?

Stretch Marks: N
one.

Sleep: I slept
on the couch last night in hopes that I'd sleep better. Jack-pot. Best sleep I've had in the past 3 weeks. Pitch black, cold basement. Ahhh...I'm making it a Monday and Wednesday tradition so I can get my nightly back scratch every other night of the week.

Best Moment this Week: Tw
o this week. My mom came down on Tuesday and finished painting all the edges and trim. I escaped the fumes and Ben asking me to finish already. Yay mom. Tonight Fran came over and we booked our flights to Myrtle Beach. We'll be traveling with a 6 week old baby and I'm excited. Pregnancy has made me so lax. Hooray for in laws and the awesome trips they plan.

Movement: Ben saw the baby m
ove on Monday. It looked nothing like this intense movement, I just threw up a bit.

Food Cravings: Stil craving the tuna noodle casserole. C
ould someone please come make it for me so I dont have to open all those cans of tuna and cream of something soup. The thought of the smells and textures is causing some cooking difficulties.

Gender: Still unkn
own but now that both Tija and Brit have had boys in the past 3 months I'm thinking I'll be a boy.

Labor Signs: N
one. We start our birthing/labor classes next Tuesday and I'll actually know what they are.

Belly Button: It hurts. That's n
ormal, right?

What I Miss: Sleeping.

What I'm Looking Forward to this Week: Seeing Tija and her little Arija again.

Weekly Wisdom: It's cheap
to make food in your shirt.
