Third Trimester

28 Weeks: Third Trimester
This week is the 28th week of my pregnancy and our little boy is VERY active. His favorite times to do somersaults and karate are early in the morning, after lunch and when we are trying to relax in the evenings. He seems to react to music as well. We have our special time in the mornings on the car ride to work when I like to sing to him with the help of my ipod of course. I usually feel like my head is in the clouds which is better than being anxious. For example, I was grocery shopping the other day and a nice man asked me, "What are you having?" I happily responded, "Chilli." Thankfully everyone at work including the customers are very supportive of my constantly failing brain. My doctor calls it "placenta brain." Whatever, all I know is that every so often the pressure of having the house ready for our baby boy gets to me but mostly I am surprised at my overall sense of calm. As long our little boy is healthy, that's all that really matters. I have been continuing the prenatal yoga and absolutely love it. Being around other pregnant women definitely helps me feel more powerful and not alone in this adventure. My girlfriends have been amazing, to say the least and Drew is my hardworking, loving hero as always. I am feeling very blessed as we enter this third and final trimester and look forward to the days ahead with my family and friends in tow.
