27 Weeks!

What Baby's Up To:

Baby Boy is the size of a rutabaga (whatever that is! LOL)!!! Measuring between 13 - 14 inches and weighing between 1.5 - 2.5 lbs! He is getting smarter this week. Apparently, at 27 weeks you can see brain activity! How cool is that? My little guy is already a thinker. Still practising inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluids, this is great stuff so he can develop his lungs to be nice and strong when born! In general he is moving around like a little crazy man in there!

How I'm Feeling: 

• It's hot. So hot. All. The. Time. But I am not complaining because I love the heat. Just let me know when it becomes acceptable for summer time pregnant ladies to not wear clothes any more... 
• Nightly leg cramps. I'll go to stretch out a leg and then all of a sudden a lot of ow ow ow ow happens. 
• The frequent pee breaks have finally started. Nightly, daily, it's never ending! 
• Cravings are starting to come back. I don't really think of a craving, but if I see something that looks delicious, I will want it until I get it! 
• I'm hungry all the time. 
• My blood pressure seems to have stabilized! (I don't feel like I'm going to pass out nearly as often!) 
• I'm getting close to the point of needing help putting shoes on. I refuse to accept help until I fall over from trying. 

Other News: 

• We've started clearing out a section of the basement to make room for the office stuff. Which means we will soon be starting to set up the baby's room. Which is SO incredibly exciting. 
• Simon can now feel baby moving around all the time! 
• I have my glucose screening (for gestational diabetes) this weekend. Apparently the drink tastes like McD's orange drink (which is apparently appalling). I kinda like the generic "orange drink" so I'm secretly looking forward to this! 
• I have one more prenatal appointment in 4 weeks and then I start going for prenatal appointments every 2 weeks. Woah! 
• This week is (depending on what website you ask) the beginning of my Third Trimester. Although I'll wait until 28 weeks to really make a big deal about that! For now we'll say, my Second Trimester is rapidly coming to an end. Ta-Ta! Farewell! You've been good to me! 

BUMP PICS!
