26 weeks down, 14 to go...

Well, as far as the name goes, I win. Nick seen that Nico just wouldn't work for us as a first name, so we are back to Carter Nico, which I have to say I love. We had childbirth class tonight, and watched a video on epidurals, I really wish I hadn't seen that. I am now scared, even though I had one with Nikolas, it was better that I had no clue what it looked like going in. Carter's room is just about ready to start working on it, and I can't wait! I will post pics when the time comes. I am really looking forward to moving into 3rd tri this week and I CAN NOT believe that I only have about 14 more weeks until Carter will be in my arms!!!

* How far along?: 26 weeks.

* Total weight gain: I have an appointment tomorrow, we shall see...0 gain since my last appointment! Finally I'm leveling out!

* How big is baby?: somewhere around 2 lbs and 14 inches long.

* Maternity clothes?: yes, besides some dresses and lounge pants.

* Stretch marks?: same.

* Sleep?: it’s getting better.

* Best moment this week?: moving into 3rd tri :)

* Movement?: he's been the same and constant, this morning I noticed that he hadn't moved since I woke up and I had been at work for 2 hours. I drank some OJ and that got him going a little, I think he's just having an off day.

* Food cravings?: I'm still on the mint and chocolate kick

* Labor signs?: Nope.

* Belly button in or out?: flat.

* What I miss: being able to get out of bed easily

* What I'm looking forward to: getting the nursery started!

* Milestone: Carter may now be able to hear both mine and Nick's voices as we chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat.
