28 weeks!

Look at me! 28 weeks! And look at that belly! Thank goodness for all of my Old Navy tank tops, which are allowing me to stretch the life of my shirts.

So this past week was very busy at work, which is great because it meant the week went very quickly. Unfortunately, it also has me very tired, and now I'm starting to wonder if this fatigue is going to stick around as that third trimester fatigue or if I just need more sleep. I suppose only time will tell!

Otherwise, my back has been killing me by the end of most days. I think this means I need to get on buying new bras, though I was hoping to wait another month until I was closer and could buy just one more set of bras. Really, the only thing that seems to help is my going to bed. I love our Tempurpedic mattress.

In wonderful news, things are moving forward on the other people front. I have written shortly before about how unenthusiastic my family and Mr. Rhody's family seem to be, though I've tried not to dwell on it. Well, Mr. Rhody and I debated long and hard and finally decided to ask our neighbors to be Baby Rhody's Godparents over my brother and sister. We asked this weekend and they were so honored! They told us they had never been Godparents before, and they are very excited. So my mother and brother and SIL might be upset, but I'm glad we've chosen people that will be great role models and will really take an active interest in our child's life.

Also, in similar news, my best friend emailed me today to ask if I'd mind if she threw a little shower for me in RI. She knows about my drama with my mother over this and she was the MOH in my wedding, so she knows how crazy my mother can get. I'm so excited and so honored. Even if it's just 5 local people, I will know that they are there because they are excited for Baby Rhody's arrival, not because they feel obligated to be there (like the extended family my mother would have invited). I'm so excited!
