Week 28
This week marks the beginning of my final and third trimester! Prenatal check-up today went well. It still blows me away to hear Topo Chica’s heart beating so steadily. She is increasingly active (as is my poor bladder) and about the size of a pineapple. Last night, while watching a movie, I felt the strongest jab on my left side and let out a loud yelp! Was that a kick or a punch? What position is she in? Is she dreaming? If so, what in the world is she dreaming about?
As I enter this final stretch (pun intended), I find myself needing to adjust to the limitations of my body. Some day to day things are certainly becoming more challenging, like getting out of bed. Where have my abdominal muscles gone? But it’s little moments like the one pictured above that help me laugh and appreciate the incredible transformation I’m experiencing.
Yes, that’s a dish of cookies resting on my bump.
