27 Weeks aka 3rd Trimester!!

How Far Along: 27 weeks, 6 days

Size of Baby: As of last week's ultrasound, our little girl is 2 pounds exactly and our little man is 1 pound 10 ounces.  He's been measuring smaller than his sister all along.
Picture of Baby: None this week.

Maternity Clothes: Yes and only over the belly pants seem to work now.  The under belly ones fall down all day and get on my nerves.  Thankfully I only have 2 pairs of these.
Weight Gain: Well I've been really packing it on lately so hopefully the babies will be too.  I'm up to 30 pounds gained already!
Belly: As Jared and I joke, I'm large and in charge!
Stretch Marks: None but I do think they will show up eventually.

Sleep: Ok.  My back has been bothering me lately which wakes me up a lot during the night but thankfully it kinda comes and goes.
Best Moment of the Week: Seeing the babies again at last week's ultrasound and knowing that my cervix is still measuring just fine.  Now let's keep this up for another 9 weeks.
Movement: All the time and I love it!  I find myself pulling up my shirt (only at home, people) and watching my stomach move around.  I'm not sure when they sleep cause they are constantly moving.

Symptoms: Just the swelling in my feet still and back pain.  I finally retired the wedding ring and replaced it with a cheapie fake one as it was stuck on my finger for about a week.  The first chance I could budge it, I took it off.
Food Cravings: Still love juice and ice cream.
Gender: Boy and a girl!!
What I Miss: Being able to bend over and walk at a decent pace.  I tend to be a fast walker but these babies are slowing me down substantially, but that's ok.
What I'm Looking Forward to: My baby shower is this weekend!!  I can't wait!  We had to reschedule our maternity pics to tomorrow as we were rained out last weekend.  So busy weekend ahead for this momma!
Weekly Wisdom: Resting is so important!  I've had a few days this last week where I have been very busy so I've started making an effort to make sure I have time to sit and rest.  We need these babies to stay put for awhile longer.
Milestones: We have officially over 4 pounds of baby in there and we are in the 3rd trimester!  Can't believe we are getting so close to the end.

Emotions: Super excited for this weekend!!
Here are my 27 Week Photos (I completely missed 26 weeks):

Also thought I'd share a few items that I've picked out for the nursery.  I plan on putting a picture of Jared holding both babies in this frame.

And these will go above the dresser.  Yes, I did lay them out on the floor of the store to see if I liked the layout :-)
