27 Weeks!!!

So I am 27 weeks, which in most books constitutes the third trimester!! I cannot believe that I already in the third trimester.  Time continues to just fly by!  It amazes me!  Overall I have been feeling pretty good besides the backaches and the leg pain. I have noticed that I get sleepy a little more easier than before.  Thankfully, I am still able to sleep comfortably. 

Olivia is getting bigger and stronger by the week.  There are times that she takes my breath away with her strong kicks!  I have not felt hiccups yet from her but I am sure that it will not be long.  Brayden had the hiccups all the time and they were so neat to feel. 

At 27 weeks, our baby girl is practicing inhaling and exhaling and even showing brain activity.  She weighs approx 2 pounds and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her little legs extended! She is sleeping and waking at regular intervals and opening and closing her eyes. 

I cannot wait to hold our sweet baby girl in my arms!! I think of the things that I am looking forward to the most is seeing her with her Big Brother! 

Here are my 27 week pregnancy highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights!

How far along?  27 weeks 6 days

Size of Baby? About the size of a head of cauliflower, weighing almost 2 pounds and 14 /12 inches long!

Weight Gain/Loss?   I think I have gained about a pound and a half to two pounds in the last week or so.  I guess we will find out at the doctor this week!

Maternity Clothes?  Yes.

Gender? IT'S A GIRL! Olivia Kate!

Movement?  Yes.  This little girl moves around all the time.  She loves to roll, kick and punch me any chance she gets! :)

Food Craving?  Veggies and lots of fluids!!! I feel like I cannot get enough to drink.  Maybe it has to do with this horrible heat wave we have been under!

What I miss?     Nothing at this point in time!

Sleep?    Sleeping really well.  I figured by 27 weeks I would start having trouble sleeping but so far so good.  I hope that it stays that way here on out!

Symptoms? I am still having migraine headaches along with the leg pain and backaches. Along with the aches and pains I am noticing that my leg muscles are starting cramp. I had the worst Charlie Horses with Brayden and I sure hope that I do not have them with Olivia.  My legs also go to sleep so easy these days.  I also notice that I do not have as much energy as I did in weeks prior.  Oh the joys of pregnancy, but I sure would not change it for the world and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Here are my 27 week photos!

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!!
