Beginning of Third Trimester!

Hi Everyone!

It's hard to believe that I'm beginning my third trimester. Actually, I still don't really understand how the weeks work -- this is the beginning of my 28th week, but I won't actually be a full 28 weeks pregnant until next week. So, do I start my third trimester this week or next week? It's confusing. But anyway -- my belly and Little Buddy are growing bigger everyday! Little Buddy is also kicking up a storm recently -- kickboxing, yoga... who knows what activities are going on in there! The conscious sensation of feeling a little person inside your body is absolutely unreal -- and awesome!!

Joe and I decided not to drive down to L.A. for our usual Thanksgiving ritual with my family, so we celebrated at home instead. We made a yummy Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, and then spent the rest of the weekend enjoying the incredible Santa Cruz weather. We also purchased our first major baby item at a garage sale -- a glider rocking chair with ottoman. It is very comfy and I've heard it's essential for breastfeeding.

While time has been going somewhat slow for me during my pregnancy, I can tell that it's going to start passing much more quickly now. Suddenly it seems that there's so much to do!

My parents will be coming to visit over the holidays, so it will be great to have them here! :o)

Happy almost-December!
