Officially Officially

I apologize for my lack of belly shots. I should really be making Phil take some "real" ones but I just don't care enough. I'm officially officially in my 3rd trimester now. (28 Weeks) Here are some random new things that have been going on in the world of pregnancy:

~ Abigail has finally reached two things: my ribs and my lungs. Just tonight I felt the sensation of her being "up in my ribs," and I got winded from singing at church.

~ She gets the hiccups a LOT. Well maybe it's normal but it's several times a day and usually she has them for 5-10 minutes. It makes me feel kinda helpless cause there's nothing I can do to make them go away. Maybe in-utero hiccups aren't as uncomfortable or annoying as out of utero hiccups.

~ My lower back has been hurting a lot more lately; especially when I've done too much laundry and house work :-P. This week I have thought several times, "How do women who already have kids do this?!"

~ I've started to be able to feel specific body parts. Mainly her leg/foot. There's a distinct feeling when her leg pokes out and then when I feel that, I push my belly and I can feel her little leg.

~ I AM SO READY TO MEET HER! Now that I know she is getting a lot closer to looking and being a complete little human, it makes me crazy impatient!
