Third Trimester

Today I entered week 28 which marks the third trimester!  Only a few more weeks to go, but Little Sister is giving me a run for my money.  I'm starting to swell, so I'm not able to wear my wedding ring anymore (I guess an extra 20 lbs. will do that to you).  My back is really starting to ache, and I've had quite a bit of trouble with heartburn the past few days.  I also am not sleeping well, waking around six times at night, several of which usually require a bathroom break.  The good part about this is that all of this is totally normal.  I complain, but I am so very thankful to be pregnant with a healthy baby girl.  My next OB appointment is on Tuesday.  I will be tested for gestational diabetes, and we'll get to hear her heartbeat again (which I love!).

Here's a picture of me in all my third trimester glory:

In other news, our little project-lover, Daniel, helped Daddy fix the sprinkler system today.  One of the sprinkler heads wasn't popping up, but the boys were able to fix it:
