28 Weeks

Today is the first day of my third trimester. I'm entering the beginning of the end. I celebrated by going to prenatal yoga with my dear friend Victoria, who is REALLY beginning the end, as she is going to give birth any day now. I was in class with several women who were at 37, 38, 39 weeks and who probably won't be in class next week because they'll have their babies. It made me feel like I'm still very far away from that stage, but all assure me that I'm much closer than I think and that this trimester will fly by much quicker than the first two did.

I have felt very very lucky to have girlfriends (and a sister!) who are sharing pregnancy-times with me, and I am particularly grateful for the community of women I've met through my yoga classes. Even though I may never see most of them outside of class, it has really been special to gather together and talk about what is going on each week and really appreciate how unique and different each pregnancy is. Best of luck to Victoria as she leaves the land of pregnant women and enters the land of mothers!!! I'm not too far behind!So, here's a little picture of me at 6 months and Victoria at 9 as we left yoga this morning...I'm feeling pretty good, but I'm in the middle of a growth spurt that is giving me some extra strain. I'm sure I'll adjust soon. And as Zach says, "Of course it's going to hurt a little - you're 6 months pregnant." Yes, I am.
