Pregnancy: entering the home-stretch.

According to most baby books and online pregnancy sites I've viewed, "your third trimester begins at week 26 and ends with labor."
Today, I am 26 weeks and 4 days along; we are officially in the home-stretch of this pregnancy!
Our most recent doctor visit was Friday, Feb. 5th. Baby's heartbeat was strong and in the low-to-mid 130s. She's a very active little girl --just as her "big sister" Jessica was throughout the pregnancy. From what I recall, Jackson was a very "inactive pregnancy" as I was only able feel movement when I was in a resting position.
I am measuring at 27 cm, which according to doc, is right where I should be at this point. My total weight gain is only 15 pounds (I use the word 'only' because I'm pretty sure I was double this amount of weight gain at this point with my previous two pregnancies). So, I'm happy with the 15. My goal is to keep my weight gain to around 25 pounds total this time around.
