Hello, Third Trimester!! (it's Robin)

28 weeks has come and gone (by one day), but it's still worth documenting.  It's been an interesting month.  We (Cristi and I) have been interviewed by a journalist for a local newspaper, trailed by a photographer for a couple hours on two separate occasions, and the intended parents have made a move to Huntington Beach, California.  (Lucky them!!)

I'm getting nice and big.  Baby moves a lot, and I'm getting uncomfortable.  Otherwise, at this point I have a very typical late term pregnancy.  Not very exciting.  We have an induction date set for within the first week of April (unless baby comes earlier).  I was originally planning on just going into labor on my own, but with the move, it makes it easier for all involved to have a date picked so they can plan on travel.  I don't know who is more ready for this to all be over: Cristi or me.  Me because I'm just over being pregnant, Cristi because she's beyond excited to get her hands on her little baby.

I'm also really excited because my parents are flying in from Virginia to help while I recover, and so is my sister.  It always takes me having babies to get my family out here to Utah...maybe I should do this again.  JUST KIDDING!!

Anyway, short post for today, but now it's just a waiting game.  Baby would have a 90% chance of survival if he was born now--not that I want that, but this is why 28 weeks is a great milestone to reach.
