The final frontier
I’m officially 28 weeks pregnant and in the third trimester.
Back when I was in the first trimester and horking my guts up everyday, I couldn’t even imagine being this far along. I wonder how long it will be before our little girl is here. Will she wait for the remaining 11 weeks until her previously scheduled c-section date? Will she wait for the 1st of the year? Will she wait until tomorrow?
It’s an odd feeling to go from knowing on what day she would be born to having no clue at all. I guess this is my first lesson in learning that I can’t control everything.
**UPDATE**
Today, Gerald got to feel the baby kick for the first time! In the past, every time she would kick and Gerald would touch my belly, she’d stop. We started called it “The Hand of God.” She knew when her daddy was there and would immediately quiet down. At first, it was really cute. Then, it got frustrating as hell. Today, I decided not to take “no” for an answer. I made Gerald stay with me until he felt her. It only took 15 minutes or so, really. She thumped his hand a few times and it was done. I haven’t been so excited since I found out I was pregnant. I FINALLY got to share this pregnancy with him in a real and visceral way. It was spectacular : )

Yep, they pretty much come whenever they are good and ready.
But guess what, you made it this far, and you will make it to the day she comes. Then you will not be able to remember what it was like without her.
HUGS!

Oh, so cool! I remember that moment from my pregnancies, too, very special
grace - I’m so looking forward to having her here! Almost as much as I’m looking forward to not being pregnant anymore : )
babe - no, you’re best. I’m not even in the top 10. :* rbay
taylor - It was by far the coolest thing yet. Except for maybe seeing her on the sonogram machine for the first time.
