27 Week Pregnancy Update

Hello friends,

Well, I am officially celebrating the beginning of my third trimester, whoa!  I still can't believe that I will be meeting my precious baby in three short months, crazy!  With only three months to go, I've scheduled my maternity photo shoot for next weekend.  I just hope the weather cooperates because it has been a bit unpredictable as of late.  Baby this week measures about 15 inches and weights approximately 2 pounds.  He can now recognize my voice and blinks, how cool is that? 


  1. How far along? 27.3 weeks, eek! 
  2. Maternity clothes: Yes, but I'm still able to wear my regular tops. Although, I must confess, I have been changing into my husband's PJs as soon as I come home - can't help it as they are so comfy. :)
  3. Stretch marks:  Still none to report. I have been applying Burt Bees Mama Bee lotion and Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion in combination with coconut oil.
  4. Sleep: Overall it's been good.  I still tend to wake up at random times at night
  5. Best moment this week: Feeling lots of movement.  We also got to work on his nursery some more and finished a few DIY projects! 
  6. Miss anything: Still tea, especially when it's cold and gloomy outside. :(
  7. Food cravings: None to report.
  8. Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Not really.
  9. Gender: Boy!
  10. Symptoms:  I don't recall being this thirsty since becoming pregnant.  I could not drink enough water this week.
  11. Wedding rings on or off? On
  12. Happy or moody?  Happy
  13. Looking forward to:  My maternity pictures and my next doctor's appointment.
Wishing everyone a very lovely and blessed week!
