26 Weeks

Anthony and I are 26 weeks along, with only one more week left in our second trimester! I can't believe how fast the time goes by! We're doing well, we went to the doctor yesterday and I had my glucose test. If it's irregular, they'll let me know in a couple days otherwise I'm all set. The liquid that they have you drink to test glucose is definitely something I'd like to not drink again. It was like Sprite syrup: very sugary and sweet as well as thick. It was...gross. But, other than that we're doing well. We heard his heart beat and my belly was measured. I've gained some weight, but the doctor said it's normal around this time. Anthony is now the size of a head of lettuce and his eyes are starting to form and will soon be open. Laying in bed yesterday morning, I felt him move higher in my stomach for the first time! It was exciting and very unexpected!

This weekend my parents are coming to visit and will be bringing the crib and changing table. I'll be sure to post pictures once we have everything set up in the and moved around! This past weekend we bought two fabric bins for the changing table to keep diapers in from Target. They're to help keep our cats away from Anthony's things as well as keep us organized. We'll also be going to Ikea with my parents to get a set of drawers and area rug for Anthony's "nursery" aka the other half of our room.

Matt and I met with the Children's Medical Group after the appointment to talk to potential pediatricians. We were very happy with what we saw and heard and we're pretty sure that we're going to go with one of their doctors as Anthony's pediatrician. The doctors were very friendly as was the rest of the staff that we met. And, best of all, the process of selecting the doctor seems fairly simple. We may meet with one more, a recommendation from my boss, but I really liked the doctors we met today.
