26 weeks and feeling it...

SO I feel like I hit a brick wall, people! Ever since 25 weeks came it's just been kinda rough. I had a cold last week which was not fun. I have had awful heartburn, mostly at night... that can be cured with a couple Tums which I am thankful for. I just feel big. My belly is not supposed to be this huge at this point, I still have 14 weeks to go... I guess she really is going to be a 9 lb baby! Steve and I were both 9 lbs. so I figure she is bound to be close to it! I have had two people ask me when I am due and when I say December, they say "Ohhhhhh, you have a while to go...." while looking at my belly. REALLY? Thanks... that's a way to make a preggo feel good! Oh well...

Thankfully my sciatic nerve pain has really let up - I still have to be extra careful turning my body and getting up at times, but it is SO much better! I found out that I passed my glucose test which is amazing!! Basically, if you don't know, that means I don't have gestational diabetes. I was super nervous that I might have it because women with PCOS are more likely to get it. Praise the Lord that I don't have to take another LONGER test and that I don't have gestational diabetes! Answer to prayer for sure!

Steve and I at our friends, Ward and Audra's wedding at 25 weeks

We went to our friend's wedding a little over a week ago. It was very pretty and we had a great time.  I loved all the details that were put in place, Audra did a great job planning her beautiful day! I love going to weddings because it takes me back 5 years ago to when we got married. It always makes me feel so thankful for the love we still share for each other after 5 years - actually we love each other even more, which I am so thankful for!!! God is so good to give us the gift of marriage - it is amazing!

We got our glider in for Ellison's nursery which is SUPER exciting! It is so comfy and I am so grateful that my parents offered to pitch in some of the money for it. They are the best! I can't wait to hold and rock our sweet little girl in a few months! The nursery is slowly but surely coming together. My sweet friend Jolynn is making the bedding - I finally got her all the fabric so she will be starting on that soon! WOO! I got the window panel in - can't wait to hang that! I am getting the furniture painted right now and it will be ready Friday! EEK! Too fun! Still a long ways to go before it is finished though.

I think that's about it for now...  I will leave you with a 26 week pic...
