Baby, Baby: 27 Week Bumpdate

The Kidlets

How Far Along?

27 Weeks!  Officially third trimester... ohmygoodness!!!

Genders?

One girl, one boy.

How big are they? 

According to my apps... each baby is as big as a head of cauliflower (again), a rutabaga, a cucumber, or a bunch of bananas!  They should each be over two pounds by now, and in the neighborhood of 15 inches from head to heel. <3

Changing Momma

Have you started showing yet?

Little bit.  My belly circumference picked up another inch between last Saturday and this Thursday!

Weight Gain?

Idk :-)

Maternity Clothes?

Um, yeah, and I'm starting to run into a slight problem... a lot of my tank tops are getting reeeeally tight.  I probably only have one more growth spurt before I need to size up or start getting creative :-)

Stretch Marks?

Yes, and I think more are on the way, judging by how ITCHY I've been for the last couple of days!

Belly Button In or Out?

Barely hanging in there...

Momma's Feeling

Got some shower gifts washed, folded, and hung up <3  Our babies are going to be so well-dressed!

Cravings:

Ooey gooey cake... seems like there have been a few others this week, too, but that's what's standing out to me...

Anything making you queasy or sick?

Weirdly enough, the smell of peanut butter.  One of my all-time favorite foods, and the easiest source of protein when I'm lazy!

Happy or Moody Most of the Time?

I'm afraid it's been a fairly moody week.  Not that I'm not also happy... but yeah, pretty moody.

Movement?

Yep.  They especially respond to candy when my blood sugar is low, and ice water. :-)

Sleep:

Getting rougher.  I have to change sides a lot because my hips hurt sooo badly after an hour or so of sleeping on one.  Haven't figured out how to use the pillow to alleviate that...

What I Miss:

The usual.  

Other Symptoms:

Round ligament pain is back, YAY!  It was hurting/burning so badly the other night that Ethan had to physically lift me into our bed because I couldn't lift my knee high enough to crawl in.

Highlights and Coming Soon

Best Moment of the Week:

Our beautiful, amazing baby shower!!  (I still owe you a post, I know.  It took a while to recover from, then we went shopping at my Moms of Multiples club sale last night... so of course, I had to pregame and strategize.)

 

Looking Forward To:

Talking to our maternity photographer and figuring out a plan for where/how we're doing pictures :-)

Doctor's Appointments:

Nothing this week (except childbirth class), but I have my first non-stress test (NST) in a couple weeks, then an ultrasound the week after that.  We love any chance to peek in on the kids!
