I haven't written much about this pregnancy, probably because I haven't been able to find the time to blog about much of anything lately! So I thought today would be a good day to do an update, because as hard as it is to believe, I am 28 weeks pregnant today, which marks the official start to my third (and final!) trimester!!
Overall, this pregnancy has been going great! The nauseousness went away around 15-16 weeks and things have been good since then. At my 26 week doctor appointment, I was measuring right at 26 weeks and had gained almost 20 pounds. I've been having a bit of swelling in my feet and hands, but nothing to worry about. I just have to remind myself to get up and walk around at work because sitting at a desk all day is not good for the circulation! And of course I swell up when I'm outside in the heat. My sugar test came back good, but my iron was low, so I'm taking an iron supplement every day now (which I had to do with Drew too.) My next doctor's appointment is Monday and they are going to do another ultrasound so I'm hoping to get a good look at my new little one!
We don't have a name picked out, but I'm not worried...yet...
We are having a garage sale this weekend so getting ready for that has been keeping us busy, but the project for next week is Drew's new room and getting it painted. He is still sleeping in his crib, so I really need to bite the bullet and convert it to a toddler bed while he is still in his familiar room -- I'd hate to move him to a new room with a new bed all at once! Kind of a bummer...all of the bedding I bought is for when we convert his crib to a full size bed and I'm not sure when that will be!
Then we'll work on the nursery -- not much to do to it. We did buy a new crib and bedding, but we aren't changing any of the other furniture or paint.
And now for some pics!!!
17 weeks
20 weeks
21 weeks
22 weeks
23 weeks -- with my new hair-do!
25 weeks - w/my BFF who is 3 weeks further along than me, with little boy Max!
27 weeks (pretty sure I'm going to be HUGE by the time October gets here!!!)
And of course, one of me and my little buddy!
