26 weeks.

So this is the week that I will hit the 3rd trimester! It's not technically until I'm 26w6d, which will be Sunday, but still I'm excited.

Here's my 26 week belly.


I have quite the doctor's appointment coming up next week. I only say that because they've rolled 3 appointments into one basically. First, I have my glucose test, where I have to drink that lovely orange sugar drink right before my appointment. Then they'll prick my finger once I get there to test my glucose levels to make sure I don't have the beginnings of gestational diabetes. We're also doing the elective 4D ultrasound, so hopefully we'll get to see Nate's cute little chubby face and he won't be hiding. And then I'll have my regular monthly appointment after that. So I'm guessing it'll be a long appointment!

I think I've also decided to go ahead and get some maternity pictures done. I wasn't planning to originally, but then I found out yesterday that one of my friends at work does photography on the side. And she's really quite good! She sent me some samples of what she's done for other people and I was really impressed. Especially considering she only charges a small fee and will give me a CD of all of the images. So I'm going to try to set something up with her in the upcoming weeks so that we have some mementos of Nate's time in mommy's belly. It should be fun and I can't wait to see how they turn out!
