Hello 3rd Trimester (28 weeks)

I can't believe Im already in the 3rd trimester. In a way it has gone by really fast, but in other ways it doesn't seem like its possible that I still have 3 more months of growing to do! Someone really knew what they were doing when they divided up pregnancy into 3 trimesters, because they all 3 have very different feelings. It was almost the exact first day of my 2nd trimester that I started feeling alot less tired and not getting "sick" anymore. Then, it was on the exact first day of my 3rd trimester that I started getting the miserable feeling. This is the big, bloated, achey, can't sleep stage. I'm trying not to complain though, 'cause I know its all for a good cause :)

Brady is doing great as far as I'm concerned. His likes to move around and kick alot. Everytime I feel him, I get a warm, fuzzy feeling, because it just reminds me that I have life inside of me. It's amazing!!! Lance has felt him kick a few times, but he seems to get shy when he knows someones watching/feeling him, so Lance hasn't gotten as much joy in feeling him kick as much as I have. I'm sure that will change as he gets bigger.

Here is a belly picture. I was talking to my hair dresser the other day and was complaining about how much weight I've gained. She said "well, did you think you were just going to gain weight in your belly?" Umm, yeah!!! She quickly informed me that I was crazy to think that and told me it was completely normal for your arms, legs and even face to gain weight and that it all comes off pretty easy. I hope she's right about the "completely normal" part and I especially hope she's right about the "comes off easy part".
