WEEK 28 - AND SO WE'RE DRAWING TO A CLOSE...


Well, here we are - the THIRD TRIMESTER.  Look at the size of that belly!  She just keeps getting bigger and STRONGER.  If anyone finds a pair of baby-sized golden boxing gloves, let me know, because Bessie needs 'em.

If you flip back to week 13 and then look at this picture, you'll see it's in the same spot of my house, same outfit, same stupid face.  I think it's pretty remarkable.  The best part is - not even near finished yet.  We have 12 weeks of huge-getting ahead of us.

Bess is punching just about everywhere now.  She's really expanded her real estate and most of the time (when it doesn't take my breath away - literally, not Belinda Carlisle-style) it's really amusing to me.  I went to a movie on Saturday and she punched and squirmed her way through the whole thing.  Probably something to do with the butterfingers I ate.

The moving is going to start to slow down by week 34, so I'd better take it all in.  I can't believe that she'll be out soon and I'll have to share her with everyone.

Speaking of being out soon - everyone we know is having or has had babies in the last month.  I got to hold one of them today.  She's just as cute as can be, and already a little over a month old.  I could have sworn she'd just come out.  I had her resting on my belly - which of course made Bessie kick right where the other baby was resting.  (Green eyes already, Bess?  Tsk Tsk!)  Some other friends of ours just had their baby boy on Friday and another friend of mine starts week 13 today!   Bessie will already have some pretty terrific friends at her disposal.
