Week 27 means 13 weeks left and a closing to second trimester! We have come a long way. According to my apps, Baby B is about 15 inches and 2.2 pounds. He/she can open and close their eyes and sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. The baby may also be sucking it's fingers. It's very common for baby hiccups to get more common during this time.
One thing that I started noticing last week was the amount of pressure that can be put on a uterus when laying on your back...UGH! It makes it hard to breathe, so make sure you are sitting on an incline when on your back. My apps also state that leg cramps may start soon. I haven't gotten those yet, and I'm hoping that they stay away!
I also went to the doctor this week to voice some of my concerns that I brought up last week. She said that I am gaining the appropriate amount of weight and that my uterus is right on track for growth!

Sleep: One down this week was having to sit up while sleeping. I had the most uncomfortable night, with back and hip pain.
Food cravings: Snickers minis!! And I'm really specific as they had to be minis, haha. Definitely NOT one of my fave candy bars (when I actually eat chocolate)
Symptoms: Heartburn still in full effect. I have also had some round ligament pain (RLP). I also think I had a round of "lighting crotch". Its like a zinger in the cooch! Also, for the past couple of weeks, it's difficult to sneeze or laugh really hard without peeing on myself...Embarrassing, I know! That means it's time to start some kegals.
Movement: Still feeling the baby move as it gets a little more intense everyday. I get nervous when he/she doesn't move, but then Baby B starts up again. I just love watching my stomach pulsate or Baby B's little booty moving across my stomach:)
Labor signs: Nope, but I have started having Braxton Hicks contractions...I think!
What I miss: Eating whatever I want, not having to think about if my pregnant ass can eat it or not

Food/Smell Aversions: None
What I'm loving: My husband...he's the best. He's definitely been my shoulder to lean on and my support system through all this. I could not have asked for a better life partner.
What I'm looking forward to: Designing the nursery...I have actually bought some things to start organizing the closet. I think we're going to be buying nursery furniture soon!!
Best moment this week: Not really any "bests" this week
Milestones: None
XoXo,
Crystal
