27 weeks!

again, not too much to report this week in the area of our pregnancy. we are trucking along, continuing to gain weight and getting ready for our next OB visit on january 4th. our little man is becoming more active all the time, and it's become more noticeable, too, as he continues to gain weight and lose space in there! people at work can actually see him moving around sometimes which is a fun experience for both me and them!

the only problem we ran into this past week was a small stomach bug i caught that lasted almost exactly 24 hours...starting on 12/24 (around 3 am) and ending on the morning of christmas (around 4am). fortunately, besides one really horrible episode of vomiting and a general not-feeling-well type of feeling there were no other symptoms and i was still able to participate in the christmas fun (although i didn't get to eat any of the tex-mex christmas dinner with everyone!). check out the previous post for christmas pics. the maternity quiz and belly pics are below!
