28 weeks 4 days

That's just how pregnant I am.  28 weeks and 4 days.  I'm feeling pretty good for the most part though 3rd trimester tiredness is already creeping in.  Doc says I'm slightly anemic so that is probably a contributing factor, guess I'll have to be more diligent about taking my prenatal vitamins and making sure I don't have calcium at the same time (calcium inhibits iron absorption).

So here it is: the baby belly.  I can already tell that this kiddo is noticeably growing at a crazy rate, which is normal in the last few months.  I'm finally getting to the point where people are saying, "you're really starting to show, aren't you?"
I'm enjoying this phase of pregnancy.  My emotional stability has leveled out for the most part, I get to feel the baby kicking and moving but it doesn't hurt yet (no jabs to the ribs) and I mostly have enough energy to get what I need done in the day.  We've been really productive as a family and summer is almost here.  It's growing season - both in my womb and in our garden :)
