27 weeks - 4/25/21 (Third Trimester!)


 

Week 27: The babies are the size of cabbages.
 

 
Welcome to the third trimester!! 
The boys are growing and so is the bump.  I am curious to see how big we all get and hope they leave a little room for my lungs to inflate as they are expanding their real estate. Luckily they have been very well behaved so far, until one of them likes to jump on my bladder like a trampoline but I may get a little stir crazy in a cramped space for this long too :-)

What's going on in there? This week the babies can hear you, but know that it’s muffled because the ears are still covered in vernix caseosa, that waxy protective coating on the skin. As baby’s lungs continue to develop, chances of hiccups increase. And the little gymnasts have started to develop muscle tone from all that kicking, rolling and punching they are doing.




Next appointment: 5/18/2021  ultrasound

Feeling: Feeling good! Fatigue creeps up in the afternoons, but nothing that a little rest can help. The warmer weather outside definitely helps to continue to feel good and motivated to move around. Trying to enjoy our last trimester together as we all prepare for the arrival of these boys!
 
Weight:   181 lbs

13 weeks to go! (11 weeks until the 38 week mark!)
