26 Week Update

 

Today, Feb 18th 2021, I am 26 weeks pregnant.

I can't believe how quickly time is flying. I've been feeling pretty okay. Tired but not as much as I have been in the past. I've been feeling Baby R move since last week but it's infrequent. He likes to move at night but anytime his daddy puts his hand near my stomach, he stops. I can't wait until I'm farther along so that everyone in the house can feel him moving. I officially start my 'nesting and maternity' leave on Feb 25th and will be out until Sept 6th. We already have a spot at daycare where L goes for Baby R for when I go back to work. We know baby will be here anywhere between April 29 (36 weeks) and May 20th (39 weeks) My OB is out on leave until April 6th so she has someone covering for her. Our next ultrasound is March 1st. Still unsure what the plan is for the cholestasis. The labs show I have it or had it, but now my numbers are normal. So I sent a message asking about why they fluctuate so much. I'm still dealing with alot of itching but baby seems to be very healthy. It seems crazy to me that in 10-13 weeks we will be meeting our son, and L will be a big brother and G a big sister again. We've gotta put the nursery together sometime soon. We have all the big stuff for Baby R though.

Andrew and I have registered for a few classes through the Hillcrest Childbirth Education Dept... We're going to take Understanding Birth, Hypnobirthing, Baby Basics and he's registered for Bootcamp for New Dads. Alot of this stuff is refresher for me, but he will learn alot and since it's been a few years since I've dealt with a baby, it'll be good to refresh too.
