Week 27 survey

How far along: 27 weeks today!
Total weight gain/loss: Two scales don't lie! The one at the doctor's office on Monday said 69 kilograms and this morning mine did as well. Technically, this is 1 kilogram less than when I posted last week (although I know this is not really true - see reasoning from last week). What did I learn? ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS weigh yourself in the morning!
Maternity clothes: Found 2 nice & cheap long, stretchy sweaters yesterday that work well with my belly (even though they're not maternity wear). Since most of my maternity tops are more for the Spring/Summer, and it doesn't seem to be warming up anytime soon, I need to keep warm a bit longer.
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Still good. Sometimes just the act of turning from one side to the other in the middle of the night is taking more effort though.
Best moment in the last week: Seeing Guenni again last Friday and checking out all of the changes in our apartment.
Movement: Baby is more active than ever! Wednesday night during the last 10 minutes of my birth preparation course, we were all lying down and were supposed to relax and concentrate on different breathing techniques. Baby apparently didn't want to participate. Instead, baby seemed to be telling me that kick-boxing was better. I actually found it quite amusing, but couldn't really concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing. Yesterday, baby was quite active the entire day as well. I have to say, I love EVERY SINGLE movement that I feel. They still almost always make me smile. :)
Gender: More votes in! Current standing: 7 votes boy, 6 votes girl
Food Cravings: I really really need to keep my stash of sweets out of sight!
Belly Button in or out: Still in, but it's interesting to see how it can change its shape now, depending on baby's position.
What I miss: No big changes from the usual (see previous posts)
What I am looking forward to: Possibly putting up the wallpaper in baby's room this weekend!
Weekly Wisdom: I think I'm going to get more and more annoyed & impatient with using public transportation in the next few weeks.
Milestones: Baby's eyes (which have been fused shut for several months now) should be opening and closing now! I'm also starting the third trimester! Woohoo!
Baby Brain Moment of the Week: No particular "moment" to report this week
Belly-button ring Status: Briefly inserted my new flexible tongue ring last night just to make sure the hole is not closed up yet. It definitely looked weird!
Labor Signs: A few practice Braxton-Hicks contractions here and there. The real ones can hold off for about 3 more months, please!
Weekly Belly Pic: Coming within the next few days - promise.
