27 weeks pregnant!
6 Months!
13 weeks to go!
Time for some fun comparisons.
4 weeks VS. 27 weeks
I would say 27 weeks is definitely the winner of the "looking pregnant" award.
Also, seeing this makes me appreciate how small I look in the early pictures. Ah *sigh*.
Also also, Yoshi is handling all of this like a champ.
Weight...- 150ish=Weight gain 21 pounds.
Baby is about 14 inches long and 2ish pounds. Here is a fun link if you are somehow interested in every detail of Lily's growth this week like me.

She can now open her eyes! And see all the darkness! (She is able to see light when available..)
Also, she looks something like this...
Movement- less frequent throughout the day, but stronger when moving. Some days are a lot more active than others. Doctor says this can be that she is in different positions that make it harder for me to feel the movement (like facing my back).
Food aversions- none!
Food cravings- As I write this, I am super full so it is hard to have cravings. Earlier in the week I was having cinnamon applesauce cravings. Weird.
Looking forward to- Baby shower and starting our Bradley Method birthing classes TONIGHT! I am excited and nervous at the same time. Hopefully they don't make me weigh myself in front of everyone. Or say any "definitely DON'T do this" to things I have actively been doing. Apparently the Bradley Method requires you to eat a LOT of protein to strengthen the pelvic floor and such. I do like protein-y things.
I will write a full post later about my classes for anyone who may be interested in this method!
Prenatal yoga- So far, it is like easy yoga. You could definitely do this yoga as a total beginner, but having some experience helped me not have to look at the instructor as much, thus loosing balance and clumsily falling over. I'm glad it was easy yoga, I know I've lost a lot of my strength from before pregnancy... bad Shayla XD. At least I walk my dogs 5 times a week still! I need to start really doing those kegals... those awkward, awkward kegals.
Also, the lovely granola ladies at prenatal yoga did a great job at making me feel like a lazy lard-ass. Spent about 30 minutes talking about their weight gains, low sugar maternity diets, which consists of even limiting the fruit they eat each day. Also all had midwives who were planning home births that actively monitored every thing they put in their mouths. When they asked if my doctor asks about what I'm eating, I said " Never, and I'm really glad for it!"
Thanks for reading :)
Shayla
Good luck with your birthing class tonight. Everything concerning new baby is so exciting. I remember it well.

You should tell those ladies at the yoga class that you follow their exact diet, it's so amazing, and you are so proud of yourself too because you've limited yourself to hard liquor only on the weekends and are down to one pack a day of LIGHT cigarettes. Oh, to see the look on their faces.... priceless.... have fun at the Bradley Method class :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a fine strategy Alison! Kyle and I talked about how we will have a giant sugar baby who will rule over all the granola babies. She will be Queen Sugar Baby!
DeleteAlison, Alison, Alison, you know Shayla has to have a shot each night, silly girl!! Shayla you look fabulous, beautiful, and totally like you should, just keep walking the dogs, enjoying your cinnamon cravings, and being you! You are such an amazing woman and I can't wait to see your daughter!!
ReplyDeleteLove you ~ Dad-O
Thanks, Dad! I think it is too late to change my sugar eating strategy now, haha!
DeleteI'm with Alison. That would be hilarious! Love the Yoshi tattoo. As always, you look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Syamatara :) Yoshi's face has definitely stretched out a bit, but that just makes it easier to see him, right?
