Big Belly

I hit the 28 week mark yesterday and last week I entered the third trimester. The dreaded last one... But so far I'm feeling pretty good. Some days are better than others, but overall I'm very blessed. When I went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago I got to see our little guy once again. He's doing well. He was 2 pounds, 3 ounces. His head was measuring 2 weeks ahead and his legs were a little behind... He's in the 59th percentile. So, just above average. I had another appointment today - we're on the every 2 week schedule. Craziness! And even though my belly is massive, I've only gained 13 pounds. So, I may be able to stick close to my normal 20 pounds... We'll see! I'm still enjoying my cycling class - I usually go 3 times a week. I passed my glucose test, which I was grateful for. I didn't want to have to torture myself with the 3-hour test... We still haven't talked names seriously and we still have lots of decisions to make. I need to figure out the nursery... The girls are getting anxious for their little brother to arrive. I'm glad I have Christmas to help them understand when he'll come - some time after Christmas. I'm also glad we waited as long as we did to tell them I was pregnant. Otherwise, this would be a long road for them... Rachel and Audrey both enjoy seeing my belly and trying to feel his little kicks and punches. We know that the next 12 or so weeks are going to fly by!

The picture isn't showing up on my computer. I so want to see the belly! I guess I'll have to check back later and hope it's working. Getting so excited for you. Keep me posted!!!
