27 weeks

Excuse the picture, this was in what I wore to work instead of trying to find a tighter fitting shirt, and I'm pulling the shirt tight in the back to show off the belly. And excuse the somewhat tired look. It's been a long day/week.

27 weeks

Oh! And I am officially in the 3rd trimester now. YAY!

How many weeks: 27

Size of baby: A cauliflower and measures 25 cm or 9.8 inches, crown to rump length. Head to toe is 14.5 inches. The baby also weighs 1000-1100 grams or 2.2-2.4 pounds. Keep growing, baby boy! 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I gained 1 pound so I'm up 17.5 pounds. 

Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes now

Gender: It's a boy!

Movement: He moves a lot, especially at night and his kicks are getting harder. I jumped the other night when a kick made my whole stomach move enough that it touched the sheets. It was very, very weird.

Sleep: I'm not really sleeping well. I'm tired, but I really think it's the baby kicking that's waking me up. He's very active at night.

What I miss: Evenings! Lately I have been working every night pretty late. Dave is being amazing though and helping with everything.

Cravings: Nothing really.

Aversions: None. 

Symptoms: My nose is bloody again... but the weird things is that my gums aren't quite as bad. I am definitely feeling bigger and I don't think I'm big enough to feel this way but I do sometimes have a hard time bending over, leaning over, putting on socks or pants, and tying shoes. I know I'm still not THAT big and I can see my toes, so... I wonder sometimes if I'm just whining too much.

Best moment this week: Um... honestly this whole week has been pretty much work. My favorite thing right now is waking up at night and rolling over to cuddle with Dave. It's cold enough now that we can do that again.

Looking forward to: My dad is coming to help with the nursery! 

Speaking of the nursery, I asked about paint opinions and thanks to everyone who gave me an opinion. I apologize for not responding. We have not narrowed it down further but I do feel better in general about those choices based on feedback. But we haven't had time to really look at/talk about this.
