It's been a good week.  I've officially reached the third trimester of pregnancy and I am feeling it.  In an attempt to not complain (and to spare you some gory details) I won't elaborate. 

We had an ultrasound today and bebe is looking good.  We double checked and she's still a girl.  From vanity's perspective I am pleased to report that her cranium appears to be perfectly spherical and she has a cute button nose.  The doctor was kind enough to entertain my neurotic questions about her brain looking normal and her weight being where it needs to be.  Seems like a healthy kid.  Maybe now I'll stop having nightmares where I give birth to an amorphous blob of skin, hair and teeth.

In other news, it seems as if I've managed to brainwash myself out of my fear of needles.  For those who know of my struggles with shots and blood draws this is a big deal.  I credit a mix of self-induced hypnosis and my newly adopted belief that motherhood generally makes people stronger.
