Total Weight Loss/Gain: I'm up to 177.5 lbs. My goal is to eat well and gain only 3 lbs per month.
Maternity Clothes: 100%.
Stretch marks: Nope.
Sleep: Same as before: I tend to fall asleep on the couch next to Mr. Jem and with Sharky on my lap around 8:00. I usually wake around 9 or 10 and head to bed. Always wake at 3:30 a.m. - gotta pee. Only had one day this week when I couldn't get back to sleep easily.
Movement: Steady kicks, occasionally hiccups (so cute). I can tell when she's sleeping because she's quiet.
Cravings/Aversions: I'm getting my sweets cravings under control. I still don't want to eat slabs of chicken.

Gender: It's (still) a Girl!
Symptoms: Swelling in my hands and feet - I have cankles! Lots of aches and pains in my back. No charlie horses lately (knock on wood). I'm still really tired from the anemia.
What I miss: My belly button (kidding!). Actually, my belly button is slowly disappearing. Just waiting for it to pop OUT. I do feel like my body has been hijacked.
What I look forward to: Meeting my baby girl!
Moods: Still super excited. Grumpy when my body aches. I'm starting to have dreams about being in labor.
Milestones: I just want to not be working anymore.
Medical concerns: Anemia, constipation, fatigue. Oh, and my right shoulder is only now feeling better (after over a month). The addition of iron really slowed things down. I've upped my fruit and veggie intake and it seems to have helped tremendously.

Sex?: No comment.
Misc: I have a bad cough, which sucks. What doesn't suck is that I've made it to 27 weeks.

27 weeks!! YAY!
I know what you mean about feeling hijacked. It's awesome but also somehow...Alien-esque.
I'm looking forward to the hiccups. They're fun. :)
WOOHOO!! :)
Congrats on 27 weeks! Hope you get over your cough soon. And I know what you mean about your body being hijacked...my body is sooooo not my own anymore!
Congrats on 27 weeks, Jem. I had the same aversion. Any meat, actually, and it didn't really help my anemia either. And, yes: cursed iron.
Congrats on making it to 27 weeks!! It seems like it has gone by so fast!! But maybe not for you. Your pregnancy just makes me smile.
I so hear you on the Charlie horses. They're the worst. Glad you aren't having to deal with them at the moment. 27 weeks is such a milestone! Congrats!
