27 Weeks and Growing!

As of Sunday, I was 27 weeks, which is less than 5 weeks to our first goal due date! Yikes! I can't believe how fast time is flying! We've gotten so much done already but there is still lots to do to prepare for these 3 lil ones. But, I know it'll all get done eventually...
I am sitting in my new rocker recliner that was loaned to us from my Nana. My parents were so great to drive to Napa to pick the chair up and then to drive to SF to drop it off at our house. It's super comfy and since I haven't been sleeping very well in bed it's a good second option for when I am wide awake in the middle of the night. In fact, last night I came and laid in the chair from 1-2am while I tried to fall asleep. It helps take the pressure off of my shoulders and hips while I rest. I also feel bad because I feel like every time I get up or roll over in the middle of the night I wake my poor husband up. So, I am hoping to start and end the night in my bed, but the chair is good for in the middle of the night when I can't seem to get comfortable or get back to sleep.
As of this past week, I feel like my body is declining quite rapidly. I am feeling the need to rest more and more and my ability to do things is getting less and less. As of yesterday, I had gained 48 pounds and it's getting really heavy! I feel like I need a wheel barrel to carry this big ol belly! I told Eric it's like carrying a 48 pound medicine ball around wherever you go. Then, lay down and put the medicine ball on your tummy and try to get up...quite challenging! I feel like one of those bugs, with all the legs, that if they end up on their backs their legs just flail in the air because they can't roll over...that's me! :)
