We have officially entered the THIRD trimester!

The nursery bedding we decided on ...

... and the border Kyla and I cut each dog and bone out of!

So this week we are 26 weeks and have officially entered the third trimester (although some books range from week 26 - week 28). I had my monthly dr's appointment today - waiting in the waiting room for an hour just to see the dr for 10 minutes! Ugghhh. I was sitting in the waiting room starting to feel nauseated, fanning myself with a magazine and praying that I wasn't going to lose my cookies. The past few days have been weird, as it seems my morning sickness has reared its head again. I was supposed to go to my dr's appointment yesterday but felt really sick after coming home from work, sleeping for 2 hours, and trying to get up to go to my appointment. Luckily, they had a cancellation for today that I was able to snatch up.

So everything looks 'great' according to Dr. Fitch! The heartbeat is 160bpm and he kept kicking the transducer when she would try and count his heart rate. Already a feisty lil' guy like his father! I have gained a total of 10lbs and my urine specimens are now coming back normal - thank goodness. Dr Fitch really wants me to try and stop taking my Zoloft because a new study came out showing that it can cause pulmonary hypertension in 1:100 babies. I am trying to outweigh which would be better for me. I am already having anxiety issues, due to the realization that things are creeping up very quickly. Plus, he says that I am more at risk to have a more significant chance of having postpartum depression due to my anxiety issues. So now I just have to figure out what would be better. I do not want to put our lil' guy at any risk, but I am not sure if me going off the medication would be at more risk. We all know how high stressed I am, even on the medication. So that is a decision to be made.

Otherwise, all is well. I am getting all the clutter out of the nursery today in preparation of starting to paint the nursery this weekend. I went and bought the paint and supplies today! I am excited, but a little nervous too. I just want it to turn out like I picture it. We have went with the Spot bedding collection by Bananafish. It has some different solid colors and plaids with a dog theme. It will grow with our lil' guy very well, into his toddler years and beyond. We decided to add a splash of red to the room to add some color. Above is a picture of the bedding that we have chosen. Thanks to Kyla for all of her help in cutting out numerous dogs from the border!!! A little piece of you will be in his nursery! :)

I will keep everyone posted, as usual. I have my next appointment in 2 weeks to do the glucose testing (which I thought was this week).
