3rd Trimester

I'm 28 weeks today...can't believe it. 12 more weeks seems like a million miles away though. At least I have baby Jack's arrival to keep my mind off things, otherwise, I'd go nuts.

Kate has better vision now so may be able to turn towards any light directed at my tummy. It will be an interesting experiment to try. She is already responding to Darth Jader's greetings from the outside world.

As for me, my legs are starting to feel tighter...crampy so I am diligent about stretching them in the morning and once before bed. My sciatica seemed to have gone away, but I fear it will come back full force towards the end of the pregnancy. I think Kate has moved towards my right side cuz I'm starting to feel more pressure there. I'm getting sick of sleeping on my side, but nearly freak out when I wake up on my back...even with a pillow...I wake up to find 4 or 5 pillows strewn about the floor next to me.

Dreams, dreams, dreams...I used to remember what they were...the preggo brain has taken over me. Pregnancy makes one senile.
