A tummy update...


I'm at 28 weeks now, the third and final trimester! My tummy seems to have had a sudden growth spurt and I'm really feeling the difference! Up until now I've been quite comfortable and didn't really notice the tummy getting in the way. Now things are changing, if I'm in the passenger seat of the van when we pull into the garage Neil has to stop and let me out before we drive in, I just can't fit through the gap once inside! Getting my socks and shoes on and off has become a bit of a challenge over the last few days so I've had to adopt a side ways leg twist method with that. I'm also getting a little uncomfortable at night and find myself tossing and turning all night long. I'm a tummy sleeper normally so not being able to lay on my stomach is difficult and now if I lay on my back the baby squashes into my diaphragm and I can't breathe properly! Anyway, apart from these funny little discomforts it's all good! I feel much better than the first time around, probably because I'm more prepared for all the crazy things that happen during pregnancy. The little baby seems very active and it's so cool to feel all the kicks and rolls as he or she goes about her daily business. Sebastian is blissfully unaware of the impending arrival of his little sibling. He's just learnt how to give kisses on command and he's planted a few smackers on my tummy which is just so cute! Neil's getting more impatient and excited as the time goes by but neither of us can quite get our heads around the fact that we've only really got 12 or 13 weeks before we become a family of 4!
