28 Weeks Down, 12 (or so) To Go

Well, we've officially entered the 3rd trimester. Thank goodness! I know baby girl needs to bake a little while longer, but I am so ready not to be pregnant anymore. I'm not even as big as I thought I would be at this point (as you can see below), but I'm still ready.

Good things in the last 4 wks....no headache for the last 2 weeks. Yippee! I also plan to finish painting in the nursery this weekend. I only have the white stripe on one wall left. I think it's adorable. After that we'll be getting the carpet replaced and can finally unpack all the furniture. She's also kicking the crap out of me much more regularly. I put this with the good, because it lets me know she's there and doing well. It still startles me, but I'm getting used to it. However, it's not so cute at 3:00 a.m.

Bad things in the last 4 wks....oh, the heartburn/acid reflux. It's gotten to the point where I sometimes don't eat dinner so I don't wake up feeling like someone is forcing acid down my throat. I'm living on Zantac, but it doesn't always work. Then there is the fact the East Coast is having the hottest ( or close to it) summer on record. It just figures doesn't it? Traveling around DC on buses and trains with horrible air conditioning really helps too. Don't they know I'm pregnant!

Other than all that, just taking it day to day. I'm starting to panic a little about daycare, pediatricians, and birthing classes, but I guess that will all work itself out eventually. Millions of woman have gotten through it, and so can I. I think....maybe.

Ok, the reason you're all reading this anyway, the picture.
I'm still a little sleepy since this was first thing this morning, but you get the gist.
