2 down, 1 to go

That's right - 2 trimesters down, 1 to go.  I officially started the third trimester today.  Never mind that the last three months are said to be the most taxing, I'm just excited that I'm getting closer to being able to do the things that I love (mountain biking, climbing, even running).  This evening before the sun went down, I convinced Michael to take some shots of me and the babe to give all of you an update.

It was like my very own little modeling shoot, however I much prefer to be on the other side of the lens! I kept finding myself telling Michael how to compose the picture and then attempting to smile.  He was patient with me and endured my angst of being the subject rather than the composer.  I should clarify that my angst was a result of my inability to be photogenic, not because of a distrust in Michael's photography skills!

Anyways,
That's me at 28 weeks...12-ish to go.

p.s
Here is a picture that I took on a bike ride earlier this week.  It was nice to prove to myself that I can still hill climb.  Note that the leaves are just starting to change!

About the time I was taking this picture, it started pouring rain so I hopped on my biked and headed for home.  I arrived home drenched, but satisfied from the bike ride and my Halloweenesque picture.

All is well here on the East Coast and we are hoping the same for all of you.
Hugs.
