notes on pregnancy: 28 weeks!

{28 week bump}

ok, so technically i'm like 3 days short of 28 weeks, but i've pretty much gotten in the habit that as soon as i've hit another number, i consider myself at the next:)

this week i think i had a pop 2.0.  the belly growth has certainly not been steady, rather it's more like things stay the same for a couple weeks, and then overnight i've doubled!  nothing is more surprising than not recognizing your body from one day to the next.  then figuring out how to dress that body... well forgetaboutit!  i've been resisting buying clothes, but m came home with the top above today as a very sweet surprise... and suggestion that i wear things that fit occasionally!  i kind of forget that my body is much bigger than normal until i pass a window.  is that me?

i'm still enjoying this pregnancy thing, but i'm definitely more uncomfortable than i was a week ago!  i'm constantly overheated, sweating in all settings.  and if i'm exercising, what a mess i am!  that and i'm having a hard time not getting exhausted by any incline i face.  seriously, any uphill has me beat.  i can run and do, but the temptation to walk is winning me over more and more these days;)  poor teddy girl has had to modify her pace!

i've entered the third trimester.  i remember the early weeks when i couldn't even fathom being so far along and here i am!  i'm realizing i have a lot to do in the coming months.  the nursery is, uh, not where i want it!  and i haven't really bought much for the baby at this point, which is sorta wigging me out... i'll feel so much more prepared when i have my ducks in a row... or my bottles and onesies and such:)

for now i will feel thankful that i can still see my toes and assume things will all come together in time!
