At 27 weeks, the bump has definately become more prominent. Why doesn't anyone mention that all the stretching, and growing, and expanding is kind of painful? Definately worth it though. Even when the kicks hit in a certain place that is a bit uncomfortable, I still love to feel them. I'm really enjoying this experience and can't wait to meet our little baby. :) P.S. - Thanks for the top, Molly, it's so comfy!!
