26 weeks 3 days

Things seem to be moving right along. Only 95 days (give or take)left. Time is going by so fast. I am not sure I will be feeling that way come December. But for now I can say I am really enjoying being pregnant. I am just amazed that my body is creating a human being. I love feeling Jack's kicks and movements. He seems busiest when I am sitting at my desk typing away and again in the evenings when I climb into bed. That seems to be his favorite time to play. D still has not been able to really feel those kicks. Just as he touches my belly Jack would decide to stop his movements and leave his Dad just a bit frustrated. I am sure as Jack grows stronger and bigger those kick and punches will be much more easily felt. Fr now I get to treasure these special moments between Jack and I.

I had my Gestational Diabetes test this morning. The drink was not as bad tasting as I had read. Just tasted like a flat orange soda. As I sat there waiting out the hour I did start to feel a bit of a headache. I am hoping that is not an indication that I am going to fail this test. I will only hear from the Doctor if I fail. So here is hoping for no news.

We toured the hospital on Saturday. The hospital was nice and newly renovated. They were incredibly busy and we were not able to view a postpardum room. All three floors were book. How crazy is that? I will say for all those patients, each one of the floors was incredibly quiet. I am a bit disappointed that there is not a tub in the room or on the floor. I was hoping to at least labor in water. I hope I am able to hold off going to the hospital and labor at home in my own tub. D was disappointed to find out there is no liquor cart for the dads:)

Next up is the natural childbirth classes...

23 weeks, 2 days

I had my regular monthly check up with Dr. M. this morning. For once his office was quiet and I did not have to wait at all. This is a first. All with me and Jack is just perfect. Although I wish my weight gain was less Dr. M. says it is fine. I have gained 21 pounds. In line with the 1 lb a week. But if you add in the weight I gained with fertility treatments I am up 27 lbs. Augh. I have 17 weeks to go. I was really hoping to keep the gain to the recommended 35 lbs. I know I could be eating better and now that we have finally moved (again!!!) into our semi-perm. digs I will hopefully be more able to focus on me and Jack.

Here is to a heathly 17 weeks
