The third trimester

28wk3d

We made it! Last Wednesday we officially arrived at the third trimester when we hit 28 weeks. Some sites say it comes even earlier, but it makes sense that once we hit the 12 weeks left mark that we're pretty official.

You'll see above the latest bump picture, just to see what I'm currently working with. Some days I look at myself and feel humungous (well I always FEEL humungous, but some days I think I look rather large), but compared to the other lovely ladies in our birthing class I'm still pretty small.

Either I'm going to balloon up in the next few months (79 days), or I'll just never be that huge. I'm a sort of small person to begin with, so it makes sense.

Everything is going along smoothly in these parts. We've selected a pediatrician and the car seat/stroller set was delivered late last week. Basically we're ready to have the baby when she's ready, but it'd be nice if she stays in there cooking just a couple more months.

As you can see I'm still doing my best to get to the gym every weekend. A nice walk on Saturday and then a swim on Sunday. I'm for sure slowing down, but at least I'm trying to get moving. As for the week day, I've checked out a lovely pregnancy workout DVD from the local library. It's not very intense, but it does the job? Luther and Jeff both love to watch as I talk to the screen during my workouts.

That's all the news right now! Next doctor's appointment is a week from Thursday, and after that we'll be going in every two weeks. Almost to the home stretch!
