Hello Third Trimester!

Before I go an entire month without a single post, I want to wish myself (and baby) a Happy Third Trimester!  Hard to believe it's already been 28 weeks and we only have 12 left to go.  It's like the last leg of a series of flights to New Zealand, where you're the most excited but also the most tired and uncomfortable.

So far, my favorite thing about being pregnant is having a convenient excuse/rationalization for everything.  Examples:  I'm too tired to go there.  I can't pick up this heavy laundry basket.  Let's have pizza for dinner again.  I want a cupcake.  Any of these will fly if preceded by "I'm pregnant."  Randy has picked up on this and tried to pull an "I'm pregnant, will you rub my feet?" but I didn't fall for it.

I haven't been terribly inconvenienced so far.  The biggest nuisance is that my bladder can't seem to hold it's own in my ever-crowded torso and has been reduced to the size of a field pea.

I'm way behind on progress photos so here's a November recap of bump action:

26 weeks

I may very well be wearing the same outfit in these two pictures, I can't tell for sure.  But I do know that my wardrobe is extremely limited these days so I wouldn't be surprised.  I haven't bought much so far and I've been meaning to run to Target or Kohl's for a few more maternity options but it keeps getting squeezed out of my schedule.  Hopefully this week!

Apparently I can only face one direction in profile shots.
