This past Monday, we had our 26 week appointment. The appointments have become pretty routine. I always start by getting weighed. My doctor was shocked that I only gained 3 pounds this month because we had our trip to Italy. I think all of the walking kept some of the pounds off.
We had a different nurse than usual. It was funny when she went to get the heartbeat, because we knew how the baby moves around and makes things difficult. After struggling for a bit, she found the heartbeat. This is always our favorite part of the appointment. The baby is doing great with a heart rate of about 160.
When the doctor came in, we didn't have a whole lot to discuss. I found out that I am still allowed to play golf. I don't think I can get much worse so we'll see how it goes. She started giving us handouts about appointments to come and about the actual delivery. It's weird that we're getting so close. This Thursday we'll be starting our 3rd trimester! Other than that, not to much happened. The doctor said everything looks great.
The pregnancy is going pretty good. I'm not sleeping as well and my back bothers me from time to time, but otherwise things seem to be going well. I'm still running, but I'm not sure how long that will last. I'm down to running 3 miles at a time and I have to take a couple walking breaks.
Eric and I are starting to get very excited for the baby to be born. I think because it took us so long to get pregnant we felt so lucky to just be pregnant for the first 6 months. I think the reality of having a baby is setting in and now we are very excited to meet her.
