27 Week Appointment

We had our 27 week appointment and everything looks great! The doctor said that Bennett weighed around 2 lbs. We talked about my placenta and since I was supposed to have a sonogram at my next appointment, he just went ahead and fit me in for a sonogram that day. Daddy was pretty upset since this was the first time he had ever missed an appointment, and of course I had a sonogram and got to see our little mister. Bennett is measuring about a week small, which I figured since Arrington measured small as well. My placenta has moved up 15 cm, yay, but they are still going to monitor it and make sure that it moves up further. Bennett weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. and looked perfect! At Arrington's 26 week appointment she weighed 1 lb. 12 oz., so they are pretty close to the same weight. We were comparing sonogram pictures of Arrington and Bennett and they resemble each other a lot!
Here's the new sono pictures of Bennett, and I added some of Arrington to compare...

Here's a few little tidbits about this pregnancy:

• Bennett moves a ton! He seems to move a lot more than Arrington did and with a little more force :)
• Loves his Mommy to eat hamburgers, french fries, cookies, and Dr. Pepper. I know not the healthiest, but these cravings are ridiculous
• when I sit down and lean forward he kicks me at the very bottom of my stomach, as to say, "hey mom, why don't you straighten up, your squishing me"
• I have a ton more Braxton Hicks contractions and they are pretty strong. Some can even take my breath away
• moves a ton in the middle of the night after I wake up for my potty break
• loves to kick his sister while I'm holding her or rocking her to sleep
• I'm having a few aches and pains around the pelvic area, but nothing that I can't handle
• already started to roll out of bed, you Mommy's know what I'm talking about
• I have a hard time getting up after I've been in one position for awhile

Here's some 27 week belly pictures... I look terrible, but hey, I actually remembered to take some ;)

We can't wait to meet our precious baby boy and finally hold him in our arms. We are already so in LOVE with him! Arrington and him are going to be the best of friends, especially since they are Irish Twins and all ;). I know she is going to absolutely love her little brother and will be the best Big Sister!
