Oh, Hello Third Trimester!

I hit 28 weeks on my 27th birthday! At my last appointment, my doctor said everything looked perfect and I passed my glucose test. I am so glad Brandon's parents were in town this week, it would NOT have been fun to bring the boys to that appointment with nothing to do but sit around for an hour waiting to get my blood drawn.

I've only gained 1 pound in the last 5 weeks so hopefully I'm evening things out for my 9 pound jump the previous month. I'm up 20 pounds total now, much of that is water weight as you can see from my pictures recently. I've had to accept the fact that I am not one of those cute, little "all-belly" pregnant ladies. I had been hoping that the massive face and body swelling I experienced with my first pregnancy was just because I was carrying twins last time. No such luck. I'm sure it's only going to get worse from here on out- especially in the hot summer months. I may start cropping my face out of all future pictures ;-)


The upside is that I'm still feeling great! I've been able to get some spring cleaning done while my in-laws are here and we've been going on lots of fun outings and walks around the neighborhood. And of course, I've also still been taking lots of naps.

This pregnancy continues to fly by. This little guy will be here before we know it!

You look adorable! I'm a chronic face cropper in pregnancy. I've tried to let Aaron take some with my face in them (instead of my usual bathroom mirror deal) and they never see past import on the computer...if they don't get deleted off the camera as soon as I see them on the screen :)

Yay for 3rd trimester!

You look adorable, Kimmy!!! (And I'm not just saying that because of your swollen comments!!) Really, I can only imagine the big smile on your little boy's face all cuddled up in there!
