Welcome to the Third Trimester!

In response to some pressing requests and in honor of my entering the final trimester of this pregnancy (tomorrow), here are some photos of what the baby and I look like right now :)

I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy seems to be zooming by, compared to my first one. I suppose it has much to do with chasing a busy toddler around all day! Even though some of the heaviness and discomfort of late pregnancy has begun to set in a bit (including battling sciatica, as I did with my last pregnancy), I am feeling very blessed right now. I'm looking forward to the birth and to holding my new son in my arms, but I'm also very content with being the pregnant mama of my little girl just now. It is a wonderful place to be.
