27 weeks

We are almost through with the second trimester...one more week to go! I continue to feel well overall and just love being pregnant. I do have occasional leg cramps, backaches, and struggle to bend over, but I know it is all worth it. Nate and I are getting more and more excited for our little one's arrival. This weekend we made our first step in putting the nursery together by getting a crib and dresser/changing table, thanks to both of our parent's generosity. Nate's parents happened to be visiting us this weekend so they were able to help Nate get a good start on putting it all together. A big thanks to both of our parents!

Our little athlete

We had another appointment today (a little over 26 weeks). Thankfully, everything is still going well and we seem to be right on track. I had the glucose screening for gestational diabetes where you have to drink some sweet orange drink and then get your blood drawn an hour later. Because of my major sweet tooth, I actually liked the drink. I thought it tasted good, which I hear is not usually the case. One exciting thing is that we have now reached the point that I start going to appointments every 2 weeks instead of every 4 weeks! That means we are getting closer!! The baby has also been kicking away, which I love. It is amazing the amounts of movement I feel when I am relaxed. Check out the pic of those little legs and feet that are dancing around inside of me! I went and visited Nate's classroom today and showed his class our ultrasound pictures. One of the little girls asked me if it felt like the baby was cheer leading inside of me. I guess it does, but we would like to think she is just getting her legs strong for some volleyball :)

25 Weeks!

We are now a little over 25 weeks along and doing well. We are back into the routine of school after our wonderful break. It was funny to see some of the reactions from students at my school who didn't know I was pregnant. One little second grader saw my belly and kept saying over and over to her friends "I can't believe Mrs. Clark got pregnant today!" I tried to explain to her that I have been pregnant for awhile, she just must not have been able to tell, but it wasn't making sense to her. It was funny. Nate and I had our first baby "class" last week at the hospital. We met with a RN and went over basic stuff about my pregnancy, filled out some paperwork, and got info on other classes to take. The picture below is from Nate and I's most recent date to the Frank Caliendo show in Indy. We had so much fun. People have been telling us to appreciate the time we have now , because finding time out alone gets much harder once we have kids. It is crazy to think that in only a few months we will be heading to the hospital to have our baby!
