Two-Thirds of the Way There

My pregnancy phone app tells me I've entered the third trimester now that I am 28 weeks, and only 84 days away from the expected big day.  There are days when I feel like the 9 months are flying by and other days when I feel like it is taking forever.  Thankfully, I continue to feel pretty good with only the occasional leg or foot cramp and my blood tests (including glucose) have all come back with good results.

The developments I've read about related to the baby and those that have occurred to my own body over the past 6 weeks are quite amazing. My belly has certainly grown and the pictures don't seem to do any justice to how much larger I feel.

The latest estimates suggest the baby about the size of an eggplant or a head of lettuce/cabbage (depending on which app you use).  She's about 2.25-2.5lbs and 14.5-15 inches long and I can attest to the fact that she is quite the mover.  Thankfully, she seems to rest when I do at night and is fairly active throughout the day.

Here's a photo recap of the past six weeks...
