28 weeks 4 days pregnant ~

Hello third trimester! Today marks 28 weeks and 4 days pregnant.  My pants are becoming pretty snug too!  Things are going fine and dandy.  Besides feeling really tired today and yesterday, I been feeling really good.

Wee Baby Girl is moving around quite a bit and she startles me constantly.  I am not used to her moving about sporadically ~  I literally jump almost every time she moves abruptly.   I scare Pat too ~ poor thing, he is like stop scaring me!  But I can’t help but jump!    ohh the joys of Wee Baby growing inside my belly!

This morning I have been feeling some tightness in my lower ab area.  I had some water and laid on my left side for a bit and I feel better now!  It is an unusual feeling to be pregnant ~ slightly wondrous and slightly scary ~ awesome and weird ~  all sorts of craziness in the brain and in the body.    I feel pretty pregnant now!  I love our Wee Baby Girl!

Here is some info about 28 weeks taken directly from 3dpregnancy.com

Your Baby
As the Big Day nears, your baby is getting ready to go towards the light at the end of the tunnel (the tunnel being the birth canal, the light being the one the doctor is shining directly into it so she can see what the heck she’s doing). Other highlights this week:

Your baby’s eyes are partially open now and can blink. Truly superior babies can actually wink. (OK, there is no way to prove that, but it’s fun to imagine, no?) Your baby can also now become a shiny, happy person as she has begun having rapid eye movement (Get it? REM? Shiny, happy person?? We’ll be here all week.)

Her eyes have color now, too. It may not be the color she ultimately ends up with, especially if they’re light gray or blue. The eyes typically don’t settle on a final hue until nine months after baby is born. So when your mother-in-law says that the baby has her eyes, you can politely inform her that they’ll most likely change soon. Sorry.

Your babe is downright chubby compared to a few weeks ago. She is about 15 inches long, about the length of an amusement park cinnamon-sugar-coated churro (yum!), and weighs 2 to 3 pounds.
