How Far Along: 27 weeks today! :)
Size of baby: I've been wondering this for weeks - seriously, what on Earth is a rutabaga?
Your baby has been hiccuping every once in a while for several weeks, and now you might actually feel these baby hiccups, which are triggered by the involuntary movements of her diaphragm. (In adults, this is followed by the quick closure of our vocal cords, which is what makes that familiar "hic" sound.) Because your baby's trachea is filled with fluid instead of air, her fetal hiccups don't make a sound. They will make your belly jump, which is fun to see and feel!
Symptoms: Still with the back ache, no surprises here. I've also noticed a huge increase in, er, dampness of the lady parts - enough to give me a bit of a panic and think I had managed to somehow break my waters early. I was, of course, being ridiculous - things are just fine, and it's likely just a combination of heat, discharge & overdoing it a few days in a row. Otherwise, I'm just feeling.. large. And pregnant, yes.
Cravings: All I want to eat is Christmas trifle. Go figure.
Gender: Girl, Girl, Girl!
Movement: Still wiggling around like a worm. To find her now, I have to put the doppler back down looooow.
Maternity Clothes: Trying to fit into my current wardrobe is suddenly becoming tricky - see this week's pic.
Milestones: 27 weeks - that 'almost in' or 'already there' period of the third trimester. That's exciting!
The belly: I'll say it - I'm feeling HUGE. I bought this dress to wear to my baby shower {didn't try it on before purchasing} and while it fits nicely now, I seriously don't think we'll make it a few more weeks.

Rutabaga's are delicious. They're sort of like a big turnip. Roasted with a bunch of root veg they're so so yummy! :) Belly looks great - love that dress!
I think you definitely popped this week :) That dress is so cute on you!
Your dress is cute! And I love all the produce items that you use for the baby's size :)
Yeah, there is a big notice in your bump this week! Baby girl doing some growing. :)
Must say... I finally had a quick glance at the 4d scan and thought it was funny she flipped the bird. :D
ICLW #55. You look fabulous in that dress! Those maternity clothes tend to stretch a lot more than you would think they could, so don't give up on any outfit you like ahead of time.
You look great!
I nominated you for the Liebster Award over at Donating Hope.
Yay for 27 weeks! You look absolutely fabulous and I love the baby bump :)
What a cute bump!
Hi from ICLW. I've had a rutabaga before and they are close to a turnip and often mistaken for one.
You look lovely! :D
Congrats on your pregnancy! You look fantastic in the dress. #ICLW35
