Baby - 28 weeks

Welcome to the third trimester!! I've gained a total of 25-30 lbs at this point and moving faster than walking speed is impossible.  Here's the bump:

The proud big brother and sister:

 

Yesterday I couldn't catch myself fast enough to prevent getting a leg cramp first thing in the morning. The best prevention is to consciously not point your toe and stretch your leg at the same time particularly while you're semi-asleep. I stopped the immediate cramp by having my husband wake up and push my foot into the fully flexed position by pushing my toe toward my knee.  But the damage was done, now my calf hurts.

We finally purchased a second vehicle to accommodate our growing family.  It's a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, Limited, with 94,000 miles.  The downside is that it gets 16 miles per gallon on the low side for in-town driving.  But I think any 7-8 passenger vehicle would be comparable.  Many cool options though - heated seats, sunroof, leather, plastic mats underfoot, a pretty grey-blue-green-ish color, 3rd row seats, sound and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, and the price point was manageable.  Still going to be using the Jetta as it gets better fuel economy but having two vehicles makes our crazy schedules a little more manageable!
