27 weeks pregnancy update / ssw 27

Happy Easter everyone!
Yesterday on Easter Sunday I finished my 27th pregnancy week. It was quite a busy day, as I was visiting my family and had to bake a cake that I wanted to bring. All in all this last week was ok, I feel a bit better in general which means I think it´s getting easier to move my belly because it´s not so hard and inflexible all the time anymore. Also my doctor confirmed that the amount of water is still a lot but has regulated a little bit - yay!

This is what I look like today as I didn´t plan to go outside I wanted to let my skin breathe and didn´t put on any make up. I recently noticed that my under eye skin has turned very dark, although I did not change any of my eye products that I am using. Sorry if I seem to look very tired but sleep isn't the best as well these days... ;(

How far along? Finished 27 weeks!

Total weight gain: 11,6kg - I´ve lost a bit last week as I ate more healthier food as planned.
Bump measure:

Maternity clothes? Yes, in the pictures I am actually wearing maternity clothes from mamalicious - a very loose cut white linen pant and a stripy-summerish tank top for my home look. :)

Stretch marks? No.
Fitness: Have been to the swimming pool once this week.

Sleep: It isn´t the best, sometimes my hip hurts very bad or little Lillian is moving so much that it get´s really uncomfortable to find a position that calms her down/does not hurt.

Best moment this week: I don't really know.. probably buying me 2 new pairs of shoes!

Miss anything? Shop clothes in my normal size.

Movement: I feel extremely much movement inside my belly, sometimes it is getting bad. :(

Food/cravings: A mix of healthy food and chocolate. :)

Anything making you quesy or sick? Still bad mood of other people. It appears to me I can´t cope it to cheer others up, or listen to their problems, whatever..  it´s rather the other way round I want positive vibes to cheer me up! Cause I´m a happy preggo fella!!! :)

Gender: Girl.

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Noseblooding, sniffers, back hurts, head ache, womb pains, hip hurts/bad sleep, water in hands and feet/legs - a bit of everything this week.

Belly button in or out? In, I think my belly button will not pop out rather than to stretch out completely - we´ll see.

Wedding rings on or of? Off, as I had loads of water in my hands and legs. Now I do not want to risk my wedding rings to be cut and leave them at home.

Happy or moody most of the time? A bit of both I´d say. Generally happy and on one hand still very emotional and tense in certain situations.

Looking forward to: Having time to wash more of the babies clothes and put everything in the closet.

25 weeks pregnancy update / ssw 25

This week was kind of a roller coaster again, my hormones are going crazy and I felt bad in the first part of the week. :( I don´t know it´s a strange feeling that I can´t keep control of myself anymore. I found me laughing a lot in the last days even over things that I usually would not find funny. It´s all a bit weird.

In regards to my bad headaches I can tell that on Tuesday evening it catched me again, so I went to sleep early. When woke up the next morning the headache was gone. I think the acupuncture is doing it´s job! :) Also have been there this week again and booked another session for next week.

Other than that the furniture and roller blind for Lillians room have arrived!!! :) And I started washing her bodies and rompers and sort them in neatly arranged by sizes. <3

The shelf on the side still need to be hung up.

This is my belly for 25 weeks pregnant:

I find it´s so hard to choose clothes right now, because nothing would´t fit me well anymore.

I need to go shopping!

On the left photo there is peeking my tape that I got this week against my back aches.

How far along? Finished the 25th week!

Total weight gain: 11,5kg. Although I know it´s the baby that´s growing a lot right now, I honestly don´t feel much comfortable anymore with my weight...
Bump measure: 94cm.

Maternity clothes? Yes, also the shirt in the pic is from mamalicious.

Stretch marks? No.
Fitness: I have been to the swimming pool once this week - yay!

Sleep: I don´t wake up in the middle of the night anymore but early mornings which makes me feel very tired - but I won´t complain the nights are fine! ;)

Best moment this week: Having set up and seeing the progress in Lillians room.

Miss anything? It´s asparagus time now and I would love to eat it as usual with smoked ham.

Movement: Still a lot and I love it. <3

Food/cravings: Oh yes, the smoked ham, haha :) other than that I haven´t been really good, but not really bad either. However, I want to be more careful with what I eat now, as I stacked on a whole lot of weight this week.

Anything making you quesy or sick? My hormones!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Head ache, back ache, nose bleeding, some pain here in there in my belly. It´s starting to get a bit uncomfortable to move around from one side to the other and I prefer to walk very slowly... :)

Belly button in or out? Still in.

Wedding rings on or of? Still on.

Happy or moody most of the time? A complete mixture this week. I felt a lot better when I talked to my friend Jasmin who already has two kids, telling me this is completely normal. :)

Looking forward to: Our Easter holidays!

Happy becoming parents! I love you, honey! <3
