Three months left until the lil pierogie makes his appearance!
We had an appointment on Thursday and got the all clear to fly to TN on Friday. At the appointment, I was measuring two weeks ahead, so I will have a sonogram in a month to measure the little one (or big one, maybe??). I got my little bottle of orange ickiness to drink for my glucose test, and I will be having that done the Monday we get back from TN. Hopefully all will be well, and I will not have gestational diabetes - that would really put a cramp in my Fudge Round addiction lately.
We are at the point where we go in every 2 weeks instead of every 4. At my next appointment, they will be measuring the baby again, checking the heartbeat, and we will start talking about birth classes (which we have already signed up for) and labor (??!!!??!?). Now that I am back to work, it seems like time is flying by.
In other news...
My OTHER baby (the 6'4" one) is going to be 30 in one week. I am married to an old man ;).

26 weeks!
I am 26 weeks pregnant today, and my baby update said the baby is almost 2 lbs now! I was looking back in my pregnancy book and can't believe how much the little one has grown already. He went from looking like a little gummy bear to looking like a baby!
My doctor's appointment isn't until Thursday, but I wanted to post a nursery update! Our crib is all set up, and we finally picked up the changing table. It all looks beautiful together. I even have clothes in the changing table already. We need to get a mattress, but all of the "big" stuff is in there, so it makes me feel like we're ready (kind of??). We chose a Nautica sailboat theme for the bedding, and we have the comforter already. I am still looking for some kind of a sailboat picture to hang on the wall. Every once in awhile, one of us will just go in there and rock in the glider. It's kind of crazy that in about 3 months, we will have our baby in there!
In other news, I've been feeling pretty good! I haven't had too many problems (unless you count not being able to see my feet or get up from the couch or bed without a big production). My baby bump has grown (along with some other parts that were big enough to begin with!), and people have started commenting that I "look pregnant" now (thanks, I think??).
The only issue I've had is that I got sick the first week of school. I guess I caught a virus from the kids, and I had a pretty bad cough. Because of all the swine flu craziness going on, if we have symptoms, we are required to check in with our school nurse. When I did last Friday, I had a temp of 101, so I was given a mask and sent home. I decided to go right to the doctor just to be safe. He said he didn't THINK it was swine flu - very comforting. :) He said it was probably just a virus and to rest, but he gave me a prescription for a Z pack in case it got worse. By Sunday night, I thought I was going to have to head to Walgreens around midnight. I made it through the night and got my prescription filled on Monday. Within a few days I was feeling better. I still have a lingering cough, but it is nowhere near what it was. I actually had to sleep on the couch for a few days because every time I laid down, I would cough like crazy. I was worried that I was going to crack a rib, and the baby was going to shoot out from me coughing so hard. Luckily, I am still in one piece.
The baby has been kicking away, and my belly has been doing weird alien/gremlin motions which is fun to watch. Every once in awhile, he'll give me a kick that makes me stop and say Whoa! I like feeling him move though - it eases my mind to know that he's doing what he's supposed to, even if it is time for bed and he's having a dance party.
We have an appointment on Thursday, and hopefully we'll get the ok to head to TN on the 25th. Until then...
