26 Weeks - 97 days left!
Hmmmm I just realized I missed writing during the 25th week:-(
Camille is about the size of a head of lettuce. She's about 13.6 - 14.8 inches long and weighs between 1.5 and 2.5 lbs. Her eyes are forming and will soon start to open AND she has eye lashes. I sure hope she has hubby's eyelashes - he has dark & long eye lashes:-) She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by socking up my antibodies. Camille is also taking breaths too - it's just amniotic fluid, but it's great practice.
Last week we went in for my 25 week check
up. The next time I go will be 29 weeks - then we'll start going every 2 weeks and then every week. This time is passing so quickly I can barely keep track of everything. Camille's heartbeat was beating very strong and rapidly. I took the glucose tolerance test - it's a test for gestational diabetes. I found out on Friday that I do NOT have gestational diabetes - thank God!
I had trouble sleeping and would wake up with severe back pains so at the recommendation of several women who are pregnant, I invested in the Snoogle Pregnancy Pillow. Although this pillow looks weird - Alvin laughed when he saw it - it has been a lifesaver for me! I absolutely love it!!! I am sleeping a LOT better these days.
We also ordered Camille's crib & dresser!!!!! It came in on Thursday and we're picking it up on tomorrow. I'm so super excited - I can't wait to get it in her room. The crib is a rustic, driftwood finish - both me & hubby fell in love when we saw it. We're about 90% complete with cleaning out her room. It's amazing how much stuff 2 people can accumulate.
Once we get it in the room and all set up with her bedding, we'll start with painting, changing the lighting, etc.
Last week was a good week for us, feeling very accomplished with getting things done in prep for Camille. She's a very busy girl - her kicks are becoming wayyyy more prominent. It's probably the best feeling ever. Alvin asks me to explain it to him, but there are no words that explains what's going on inside my body!
I have 2 more weeks left in the 2nd trimester and then we're down to the final stretch. I'm so thankful & grateful. I can't wait to meet my little angel; however, I need her to say in there for another 14 weeks!
