Welcome to the Third Tri!


So, here's 28 weeks, the beginning of the third tri! Crazy to think I'm that far along already. It seems like it has gone so fast, but at the same time it's taken forever. Oh my heck, she is going to be here in a little more than two months!! We still haven't officially decided on a name so we bought a baby name book to look through and see if there is one that really jumps out to us. It's a pretty fun book. It has the names' history, popularity, other spellings, etc. Plus we'll have it for future friends and family and ourselves when another baby is on the way.
So far the third tri has been not so kind as the second. Day one of officially being in the third tri, my back hurt like crazy, I had a bad headache, I was so tired... oh it was just not a fun day. And the week hasn't let up on me much. My back is starting to hurt more for (seemingly) no reason. But that is really the only bad thing. I keep telling myself... I will not complain, I will not complain. Hopefully I won't too much. I don't think it's good to start now, since I haven't yet, and I don't want to get into the habit of complaining about my little girl.
As of right now (writing this) she is about 15 inches long (head to toe) and weighs about 2 and a half pounds. Can you believe that fits in there!!! Sometimes I can't, and then I feel her move and I remember she really doesn't have that much room, even being all curled up in a ball.
There are times when she will just start moving like crazy and it just tickles. But it's so weird to watch my skin ripple almost all the way accross my belly. It's been fun to feel her more and more. It's also nice to know she's moving so much because that means she's doing well.
Anyway, that's all I can think of right now. If I think of more I'll put it in a different post. Thanks for reading!
