27 week update!

How far along? 27 weeks
Baby size: Twin 1 has caught up!!!!!  TW1 was 776g and TW2 was 781g at last weeks scan! Best news ever!
Babies positions: Yin Yang position. TW1’s head was on my right hand side and TW2’s head was on my left hand side. But then by the end, TW1 was kind of more breech position (head on my left hand side and body pointing downwards and then legs curled onto my right).
Total weight gain/loss: current weight is 59.1kg. I’ve lost weight. Not sure how that is possible especially as I’ve eaten so much cake this week. But midwife didn’t seem worried, so I guess I wont worry either.
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way (or leggings/baggy dresses).
Stretch marks? Nothing yet.
Sleep: My pelvis feels so unstable so changing positions in bed is scary. I try to lie on my left hand side as much as possible, but lying on my back is still the most comfortable. But at least I usually sleep through the night. Not sure I can say the same for Josh what with all my snoring and coughing.
Best moment this week: Baby shower! So spoilt!
Movement: Feeling kicks or little flailing arms, from both inside and outside. And rolls. And occasionally feel a hard bottom or leg or head pressed up against my tummy.

Food cravings:  No real cravings at the moment.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing much :)
Have you started to show yet: Yes! No hiding it. Measuring about 4 weeks ahead at the moment.  
Gender: Uncle Steve has predicted girls, but still anyone's guess at this stage. Actually, I totally think we are having girls too. Scans once a week and not a glimmer of a little pee pee? They have to be girls. Or really good hiders/contortionists.

Symptoms: slow, walking funny, unstable pelvis, bloody nose again, emotional. And my feet are fat! Not swollen, they’ve just kind of flattened out. I looked down and cried out “oh my gosh, I have troll feet” and Josh rushed in to have a look and agreed.   
Labor Signs: No signs yet
Things I miss:  sushi and alchohol. Drinking as much tea as I want. Sleeping on my belly. Feeling energetic. And missing water walking this week as my water walking buddy is currently recovering from hip replacement surgery.
Belly Button in or out? outie. No denying it now.

Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: 
next weeks growth scan and finding out if the bubba’s are still on track.
