Today marks the start of the third trimester. Well, by some counts anyways. I've seen the third trimester listed as starting anywhere between 24 and 29 weeks.

In honor of this momentus occasion, I'm wearing maternity pants for the first time. I still don't look pregnant, though, and my size-larger pants are still wearable.

I'm considering making an award for the first person to identify me as pregnant without being told.

Baby is kicking and wiggling a lot. I think he's gone through a growth spurt within the past week or two (and no, the gender still isn't known. I'm just switching pronouns). He now manages to kick me in the ribs occasionally. I'm also completely worn out most of the time, and need to start getting to sleep at 8:00pm if I want to get enough sleep. And lots of heartburn. Tums don't seem to help.

The other night, I was poking at the baby and I felt something kind of rounded near my belly button. Christof felt it, too. I don't know what it was - possibly a knee. It was a very odd experience. Feeling kicks is one thing, but being able to feel actual body parts gives a whole new reality to the idea that there is an actual human in there.
