I am 27 weeks pregnant today and my bump is growing like crazy. The twins' kicks and other movements are getting really strong which is great for them and excellent for me (with the exception of the times when they decide to give my bladder or cervix a good kick, which is seriously painful and leads to me making strange high pitched noises. So not cool!).
I feel so happy with each passing week, knowing the twins are getting bigger, stronger and healthier. I just hope I can keep them cooking for as long as possible. I am also super excited as next Monday I will (hopefully) get to find out for sure (or as sure as possible) the sex of twin 1. It feels like ages since my last scan and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, but hopefully I have only another week of waiting to get through before I find out if they are boy and girl twins, or boy twins? I also cannot wait to see my lovely babies again. Nothing currently beats seeing them up on screen, watching them move about and seeing the glow of their heartbeats flicker. It is always so moving.
I was doing some reading today and I came across an interesting factoid. Apparently, from the 27th week the babies start to dream. I wonder what my gorgeous babies will be dreaming about.
So the last time I did a bump update I was 20 weeks pregnant and it is nearly 2 months later and I just had a look back at my picture and I remember thinking at the time that my bump looked quite big but seriously it seems tiny now. I have posted my new picture below, along with a new picture of my face, which to me is looking a little ‘Moominish’ (but I guess it is just because I am ‘pregnant in the face’)...
