Week 26

I was a bit more excited about week 26 because it means this will officially be my last week in my 2nd trimester!  I could not believe that I was going to be 2/3's through the pregnancy.  It is hard to imagine just at the end of March I found out I was pregnant and here I am showing more than even and feeling her move!  The last 6 months have been such a blessing and I am trying to cherish every moment.
One special moment from this past week was having her dad really feel her for the first time.  It was a sweet moment and she seemed to have responded more to his voice than anything.  This meant so much to me because I knew he had been wanting to feel her and boy did she move for him!  I know they say it is hard for dads to be involved or to feel part of the process but I want bp's dad to be a part of every little thing he can be.
Another big thing this week was the gestatetional diabetes test I had to take.  Apparently it is a type of diabetes you can get while pregnant and will go away once you have the baby.  The test included drinking a very sugary drink and getting my blood drawn within an hour of drinking it.  It comes in flavors and the one I choose was orange.  I found out 3 days later that I passed!!!  I honestly think that is the last big test I have to take before baby comes!
