27 weeks pregnant

My little boy is now 14.41 inches long, the size of an Cauliflower. He's weighing around 1.93lb which is double what he weighed just 4 weeks ago! He now recognises voices - Such as mine, daddy's and his big sisters. If somebody rested their ear on my tummy, there is a chance that they could hear Ezra's heartbeat.

This week has gone by so quickly and to be honest I've been feeling the strains of pregnancy a lot more. I'm not sleeping very well, I feel fat and heavy and am struggling to move around. Simple tasks such as hoovering the front room or tidying up Amelia's toys are so tiring that I have to sit down after 5 minutes of moving. If I stand up for too long, my feet ache and if I sit down for too long I get a numb bum/pain in the bottom of my back. I'm feeling short of breath and getting up in the mornings is getting harder and harder. I'm still enjoying this pregnancy, but it's definitely more difficult being pregnant when you have a toddler to look after too.



I've had two nose bleeds this week, which has happened a lot with my previous pregnancies. The first nosebleed lasted over 40 minutes and was so heavy that it made me feel like I was going to pass out and I got close to calling the midwife. Then I managed to get it to stop but the clot made me sick so I just felt really crap after that and I felt drained the whole day.

Ezra moves so much now and I can feel that he is running out of room. It's not just the fluttery feeling anymore, every single time he moves my whole tummy goes with him and it feels like he's trying to get out. In one sense I feel that I only have 2 1/2 months left of being pregnant and Ezra will be here before I know it, but I also feel that the next 13 weeks of pregnancy are going to be so tough.
