Well, this is a day late, but we are 27 weeks along now and in the third trimester. This is what the books mostly say from now on: "In week 27, the baby gets fatter and you get more uncomfortable. In week 28, the baby gets fatter and you get more uncomfortable. In week 29. . ." and so on.
We had an unexpected appointment on Wednesday because Monkey had been moving around a bit less. We had a non-stress test, which was sort of neutral because it's really a week early for that to be an effective test, but it wasn't bad either. They went ahead and measured me while I was there and I am now 3 weeks behind dates, so that got us another test. Yesterday we went for a biophysical profile and growth sono. We passed with flying colors! She (definitely she, no modesty this time) measured between 27 and 28 weeks on all her dimensions except her femur length, which measures over 29 weeks. She also has good muscle tone and adequate amniotic fluid. Also she spent the entire test using her hands to play with her toes. Dad suggested perhaps she's an Aggie and was just trying to count something higher than 10. Honestly it was about the cutest thing we've ever seen.
