27 Weeks / 3rd Trimester

Wow, we're on the home straight! In 10 weeks baby will be fully baked at 37 weeks!

All is still good. Bump is defo growing now and I feel heavier and I have noticed that my belly button is shallower.

27 weeks

I had my first bath rather than a shower and it was great fun to watch my bump moving as baby kicks, making the water ripple. Also baby stuck it's bum or head out and distorted my bump, and we could feel this hard, round thing for the first time!

When I went back to work after the Christmas break I thought I'd have a big bump that everyone would notice but I still haven't, and so I decided to start announcing it to people. Everyone that I have told has been so lovely and I've really been surprised - I never realised that a pregnancy is such a happy event for everyone around you, even relative strangers!

So, exciting things happening at the moment:

• 4/3D scan on Monday - can't wait to see baby in more detail and see how much they have grown!
• The nursery's new window is almost finished and so Hubby can finish the decorating, the carpet fitters can come, and we can set up all that we have so far!
• 28 week midwife appointment in a week
• Mum's organising a large baby shower back in my home town
• I'm organising a smaller baby shower where we live now for friends and neighbours

I could burst with excitement!
