Week 26: Welcome to the third trimester

So I didn't do a post in a while, have been super busy with work and school so a whole month has gone by since my last one.  I had a Dr appt this morning and everything still is going great.  I had to do the Glucose test where you drink that syrupy stuff.....as a testament to my love for sugar, I didnt think it was so bad to drink!

Other than that, still feel good, although starting to sleep a little lighter and wake up when Petes alarm goes off at 4:30am  - yikes!  I dont usually get up to 7:30a, but since that is the worst of my complaints I guess not so bad.  Other questions I get....I dont have a "linea negra" which is the dark line that goes up some preggo peoples bellies, and I am to the point where people are starting to ask when my due date is and when I say 14 weeks to go I get alot of wide eyed "REALLLLY?" so I guess I am starting to look really pregnant.  But I dont waddle when I walk, so that is a good thing.

We put the crib together - pete did most of it, and the rocker recliner was delivered.  Other than that, havent done too much with the room - still need baseboards and closet shelving and rods, but we have plenty of time so not worried about it.

And one other fun update, Pete felt the baby for the first time last Sunday, so he was pretty pumped.  I feel it all day, and easier to notice in the morning drive to work and on my drive home.

I was very hungry this past month, so I was relieved to find out I only gained 4.5 lbs in 4 weeks!! So a grand total of 26.5 lbs gained  Here I am:  The one on the left (short sleeves) is from this morning and the other is from a month ago.  My face looks a little more tired in this one, but it was taken at 7a on a Saturday....
