27 weeks!

I don't know why I started this blog if I was never going to post anything. I even bored myself, I guess.

So, to sum up the last few months. We found out in week 15 we're having a GIRL! Chandler was ecstatic, I've never seen him so happy and proud. Alice Rose Matteucci. We had the ultrasound on a wednesday and a gender reveal on the following Sunday. It was so hard keeping the secret. I almost let it slip several times. Next time I'll probably do the reveal the day before. If there's a next time. I don't think I want to do this again. Sometime always hurts or I'm almost always uncomfortable and I'm starting to get more heartburn and indigestion. I need to eat small meals, but even when I'm hungry, I burp like I'm full and I'm always afraid the burp isn't going to come up alone. It seems like things flare up around Friday and go until Monday. I wonder if she has growth spurts then. One weekend, I had a horrible pinched sciatic nerve for those 4 days. I cried thinking it was forever. But it passed after that Monday. Last weekend (I think), my chest started to hurt. Like my sternum or the ribs under my boobs. I'm assuming my uterus is making more room for itself and therefor pushing all of my ribs out of the way. It hurt for a few days and then again by Tuesday it had passed. Until a few days ago when the damn cat decided to torpedo herself off my chest and inflamed it for a day or two. It's okay now. When I sneeze, I feel like I'm being punched in the chest and stretching can get slightly painful, but otherwise I don't feel it. I guess my ailment of the weekend is just the constant burping and indigestion.

We also had our level 2 ultrasound about 6 weeks ago. Alice is perfectly healthy. I'm feeling her move around on a regular basis. She kicks like crazy when I lie on my right side. And I'm pretty sure I felt hiccups today. I can't wait to meet her.
