The End of the 2nd Trimester!

Here I am at 26 weeks. This weekend I will officially be into the 3rd Trimester! I am defiantly getting bigger and so is Charlie. I am feeling him kick and punch a lot harder now and sometimes I can even watch my stomach jump around. The nursery is coming together but Jess told me I have to stop until after my baby showers =(  I still am very impatient to get it all done! I'm still feeling pretty good. It's getting a little bit harder to get comfortable but I'm hanging in there. I failed my 1 hour Glucose test so now I have to spend 4 hours at the doctors taking the longer glucose test later on this week which pretty much sucks. I've noticed that this past week my emotions are a little wacky. I'm not some angry crazy chick I just cry at nothing. I've even gone from laughing to crying. Its all very weird. I just looked at Jess this week during one of my crying fits and asked him "Whats wrong with me?" lol He has been great and he just smiles at me or hugs me when I need it.

 

Here are the Letters above Charlie's crib that Jess painted. I loved how they turned out.

And Here is the Cradle that my grandpa made for Charlie and dropped off at my work. It came out so beautiful! It really is so special to me that he took the time to make me something so wonderful!

Here is what my weekly update has to say about Charlie:

See the bigger picture.

How your baby's growing:

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
