27 weeks!!





I feel like this baby is so low in my pelvis. Not sure if you can tell in the pictures or not. I have not had to much heartburn and tummy upsets but I have had awful pelvis and hip pain. When I walk I feel so much pressure between my legs, its definitely a different feeling.

How Far Along: 27 Weeks 
Size of baby: Baby is the size of a cauliflower now, or 16inches and 2.5lbs
Weight Gain: At my doctors appointment I was 148.8lbs for a total of 23lbs gained since the beginning
Belly:

What I Love: I am loving being pregnant, I have very few complaints and just feel so happy and excited for whats to come.

What I Miss: Beer, Its been so nice here I just want a tasty cold one! I also miss sleeping on my belly.

Cravings: ice cream, freezies, water. Anything cool and refreshing.

Symptoms: I'm still sore a lot of the time, but increasing fluid and reducing salt intake I've reduced the swelling in my legs a lot. I can no longer walk 18 holes of golf but have been playing my best game this year. Nesting is also in full swing, everything is getting organized or cleaned.

Sleep: I'm really restless and am finding it hard to get into a deep sleep. I wake up lots during the night awake and concerned about things that need to get done before baby gets here. Getting comfortable is also becoming more difficult. Luckily I usually only get up once per night to pee though!

Maternity Clothes: I am in full maternity clothes and am starting to outgrow some of those even.

Movement: Lots and lots! See video below



Purchase This Week: Tried to buy a combination car seat that was on a really good sale but it did not fit in our SUV so we returned it. Really not sure what vehicle it would fit rear facing as I think ours is a monster!

Favourite Moment this Week: Had a BBQ and had 2 other pregnant ladies over. It was fun to be able to yap endlessly about babies and pregnancy!
We also enjoyed lots of sunshine this weekend which was just awesome, we got outside a lot and made the  most of it. About summer finally appeared.

Boy or Girl: This week I've been feeling its boy. Our local Dairy queen guy apparently has 90% accuracy of guessing the sex based on what you order and he said that strawberry sundaes are usually boys.
