27 Weeks

We've made it to the start of the third trimester!  Still feeling pretty good.  Starting to feel a bit more tired but that could be the heat.  I don't seem to have cankles yet which is good!  Shaving the legs and cutting the toenails are a mission now though lol.

A really short week for me this week.  Had the first of my Wednesdays off and today (Friday) is Canterbury Anniversary Day, so a public holiday and a long weekend and if this weekend is anything to go by  I think summer is going to be a long and hot one!

So I think I have mentioned pretty much every week that I'm feeling more movements and at risk of being repetitive, this week is no exception.  Feeling a lot of sliding feelings now and general pressure from the inside when he changes position.  At times he makes my whole belly jiggle like a jellyfish and contort out of shape.  I think he mostly lies sideways with his feet on the left as feeling a lot of kicks on the left with pressure on the right - ?his head.  Am going to ask the midwife at our appointment next week whether it's too early to feel how he is positioned in there...still hanging out to feel his little baby shape :)

With the heat the past couple of days I had my first bout of light-headedness while waiting in a checkout queue yesterday.  Queues always take longer when you just want to get out!  I really had to buy some shorts/pants though as could not stand wearing jeans to work (the only pants that fit me now) on such a hot day. 

Our antenatal classes start on Monday night.  I don't know why, but I'm quite excited about that.  It will be neat to meet some other couples :)

We will be picking up our cot this weekend - probably tomorrow and I can't wait to set it up.  Watch this space for pics :-D

Baby is now 38cm (14 inches) long from head to foot and weighs about 1kg (2.2 pounds).  He can blink and look from side to side and can tell the difference between light and dark.  He can cough and has REM sleep so could be dreaming!
