28 weeks

I've been meaning to work on this post since last Friday, when I officially entered the 3rd trimester. I had an appointment with my ob and measured right on schedule for 28 weeks. The heartbeat was nice and strong, though he kept trying to get away from the wand. I also got my Rhogam shot, which I needed because even though J. and I are both Rh negative, our donor is Rh positive, so the baby could be too.

He has been super active lately - some of the pokes are bordering on painful. And the night before last after I woke up at 4 to go pee, he wouldn't let me fall back asleep, with all his antics. But I'm not complaining at all; it's a thrill every time I feel it.

So I thought maybe it's time to post some belly pics. I have refrained thus far, but am finally giving in. These were taken over the weekend. It's funny because I still feel like I look bigger when I look at myself in the mirror, but these photos don't really reflect what I see. But I guess I look about right. It is still so weird to think of myself as pregnant. But here I am.

    Gorgeous! Look at you! You're beautiful! It must be strange to see yourself pregnant after wanting to be for so long. And there you are! I'm so happy for you, Cassie.
