Twins Bumpdate: 27 + 28 weeks

How far along?

27/28 weeks!  (Hello 3rd Trimester)

Babies are the size of?

Butternut Squash (14in each; 3lbs each)

Total weight gain/loss?

13lbs+

Are you showing?

Yes! Some days I feel huge and clearly look like I'm having twins and some days people are shocked when I tell them.

Cravings?

Fruit and vegetables.  I think it's helped that I've been at my in-laws and they try to eat pretty healthy.

Sleeping?

It's still a hit or miss situation.  Some nights it's decent and some nights I'm up at 3am and can't go back to sleep.

Symptoms?

Just tired.  I can't seem to get enough sleep.  Swelling isn't terrible, but it's definitely still there.
 

Genders?

TWINS GIRLS!  If you haven't seen our gender reveal, you can watch the video here and read my blog post here.

Movement?
My stomach looks like a scene from an alien movie.  It's crazy how much they are both moving.  Baby B moves way more than Baby A.

Mood this week?

A little stressed. 

Best moment this week?

We have officially been in Kentucky for a few weeks now.  I got to do a little house hunting in Indiana while the girls stayed with my in-laws.  My husband flew up and met me and we put an offer in on a house and it was accepted!  We are anxious to close on our new home and make it our own.  I turned 31 this week, but didn't really do a lot of celebrating.  I mean, my husband bought us a new home, so that was a pretty big deal.  We missed fireworks, but had a little glow party in the living room instead.  Oh, and I spent a few hours in triage because my Braxton Hicks were so bad that I couldn't tell if they were actual contractions or not.

• How far along?: 28 Weeks
• Baby is the size of a: kabocha squash (14-16 in, 2.5 lbs) (according to WTE Pregnancy)
• Total weight gain/loss:  +13
• Stretch Marks? Still looking good with no new stretch marks this pregnancy.
• The Bump: Holy bump.  I'm loving all the sweet compliments about how I don't look almost 30 weeks pregnant. LOL.
• Symptoms:  I still have a pretty bad cold/cough that I can't seem to shake due to being pregnant.  I'm trying all natural remedies that I can think of.  Any suggestions?
• Food Cravings: Sweets are getting the best of me!
• Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Nope.  I think it's safe to say that I am way past all of that nonsense.
• Sleep: Still not sleeping well this week.  This cold is kicking my butt!  It seems to really get going in the evenings.
• What I miss: Being able to take something strong to get rid of being sick.
• Weddings Rings On or Off: On.
• Any Names Picked Out Yet: We've thrown a few out, but not many.  I'm not sure we will have a name until the last minute!
• Gender: It's a surprise :) Even though Michael found out and blabbed it to me and a few of our close friends, none of our other friends and family know.
• Movement: I think we have a gymnast on our hands...or a soccer player!
• Maternity Clothes: Oh, yes.  There is not fitting into anything that isn't maternity or workout.  I'm all about comfort.
• Labor Signs: No!
• Best Moment of the Week:  Getting to see Michael's family.  We flew into Indy to meet his brother and took a trip to Kentucky to stay with his parents for a few days.  We were able to get away for a much needed day date to Nashville and had a good time, baby-free.  Emma enjoyed herself with Gramma and Gramps!

She fell asleep still holding her bottle.  The trip wore her out!

When your kid-free, you have ice cream for lunch ;)

Emma's first time on the 4-wheeler with Daddy.

Feeling:  Great!  I'm enjoying the weather and family time.

What I'm excited about/looking forward to:  Going back to Indiana for the family reunion, a trip to Chicago and a fun photo-shoot for PinkBlush Maternity clothing!  It's going to be a wonderful week!
