Our dr.'s appt. on Friday went very well. The heartbeat is down to 135, which apparently is normal as their heart develops it slows down a bit. Plus he was not active whatsoever at the appointment. We scheduled my glucose test, I only have to fast for 1 hour so I'm thankful for that. I scheduled it for early in the morning so I shouldn't be too bothered. After our next appt. we start going in every 2 weeks instead of 4. Can you believe it's that time already--3rd trimester is almost here!
Nursery Update: The trim is now up in the nursery! Chris painted the pre-existing shelves to give the dingy white an update (they are still white). The bedding should arrive today, as long as the weather cooperates (it's already 2 days delayed b/c of adverse weather conditions elsewhere). We are only getting 3-5 inches today, but things are pretty nasty out there! As soon as we move the crib & dresser upstairs I'll take a picture for the blog.
We had a pretty busy weekend, as we also registered the little bambino at Babies R Us (we will also register at Target). This was soooo overwhelming! It took nearly 4 hours and it was clear we NEED a lot of stuff! Thankfully they gave us a semi guide to go off of too! One more thing to check off the list though!
you're 26 weeks pregnant!
Don't panic if your uterus suddenly starts tightening and relaxing -- Braxton Hicks contractions often begin around this time. They're simply your body's way of practicing and preparing for labor. (If the contractions are regular or particularly painful, call your doc just to be sure it's not the real thing.)
Baby's now the size of an eggplant! (again)
Baby's soaking up your antibodies, getting her immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and she'll soon be practicing the blink...perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
Love,
Chris, Amber & Baby Z
