26 weeks and ultrasound!

I will be 26 weeks this thursday, hellooo almost 3rd trimester!...We had an ultrasound today and hubs and I got to see baby girl,  we just love getting to see her so much! We are going every 4 weeks since 20 weeks just because of a cord positioning thingy, it's a totally normal variance where it inserted like a bit on the outer side of the placenta and not right in the middle...so we just have to get a monthly ultrasound because like 2% of the time it can cause a little growth restriction, but not with baby girl..At this point she's measuring right at 26 weeks all limbs and body parts and she weighed in at 1 pound 13 ounces, so almost 2 pounds! It's crazy to think we're getting so close now! She is a mover and a shaker already, she was kicking the whole time...she is still transverse, which is apparently why I feel so much pressure down low ughhh...but Doc says he thinks she move into head position hopefully soon which relieves the pressure a good bit, so we'll see! But a great appointment today! And for the weekly post:

How Far Along:

26 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: Up 1 lb from 24 weeks so up to 21 pounds!

24 weeks!

So I am 24 weeks today, which means baby is now viable hooray! I had my 24 week check up yesterday and everything was good; blood pressure, heartbeat, my fundal height measured right at 24 weeks so that was all good news...next I go for the dreaded glucose test at 28 weeks and we also have our 3D ultrasound scheduled for that week too!..crazy to think that I've already reached viability week, now time is not going by so fast anymore ha...but at least I have the nursery we just started last week that'll keep me busy the next weeks to come so that's fun!...our painter comes next week to paint and install the beadboard, and i've already purchased all the fabrics for the crib and curtains and the bought the rug...then my mom and i have had fun buying antique pieces like this antique chest we found that we are stripping down and high glossing and an old rocker and ottoman I'm having recovered...It's really fun this go round getting to do a baby girl's nursery, I can't wait to get it all up and done! Hopefully it will get me to 30 weeks quick!
