27 weeks

I am 27 weeks, and I must say the time seems to be flying. My belly button is just an oddity now. It'll be flat one minute and then when Boomer decides to stretch out, my belly button pops out. He was moving around the other day and my belly button was in the shape of a triangle! To my relief it was either his knee or elbow trying to make some room.

Easter was pretty interesting this year. How come nobody tells you about the weird symptoms associated with pregnancy? I was at Easter mass on Sunday with my hair fixed, legs freshly shaved, a skirt and even heels on. (Brian was so proud.) Well not two minutes into mass, I start sweating profusely!!! It was freezing in church and here I am with beads of sweat dripping from the sides of my face (you can only imagine where else). Brian puts his hand on back to see if I was okay, and all I could manage to say was, "Get your hand off me!" (Is this foreshadowing of what's to come in labor and delivery?) Well I couldn't decide if I was going to throw up or pass out, but all I could think about was...am I too heavy for Brian to pick me up off the floor? (Why on earth do these things enter my mind in times of distress?) So the priest didn't even make it through the Gloria when I worked up the courage to walk to the back of church to the bathroom. It felt like I was surrounded by funhouse mirrors, and I'm still not sure how I made it back there. The Lord must have carried me back there. Needless to say I was done. Brian spent the day nursing me back to health, while I felt horrible about missing Easter with our families. I guess I'm learning that you will sacrifice anything for the sake of your child.
