Hello Third Trimester!

I'm 28 weeks today which is the beginning of the third trimester of this pregnancy.  Time is going by quickly.  I've been moving pretty slowly lately, though.  I'm starting to get a little swelling in my legs.  This is due to being on my feet a lot during the day at work.  I work with a great group of people, though, and they are constantly telling me to sit down and rest.  That's an offer I can't hardly refuse.  I think some of the swelling also has to do with the fact that Quinn sits so low.  Mia was really high, so I didn't start swelling with her until later in that pregnancy.  My appetite is kicked into high gear as well.  I've wanted to eat breakfast food a lot with this pregnancy - specifically biscuits and gravy.  It just always sounds good, but I don't eat it too often.  Cereal has been another favorite.  Yum!  I've really been liking vanilla yogurt with fruit as well.  I like to add kiwi, mandarin oranges, you name it.  What I crave the most (although it's totally not nutritious) is ice cream.  I could seriously eat it every day, but I don't.  The other day I wanted a milkshake really bad, but it was getting late.  I looked out the window onto our front porch, and Wes asked me what I was doing.  I told him that I was checking to see if the Bluebell fairy had left me some ice cream on the porch.  Ha!  Being the sweet husband that he is, he just put his shoes on and went to get me a milkshake.  He's a keeper!
