25 Weeks and Doctor Update!!!

I am sorry I am late with posting this blog. Things have been pretty busy so I promise to catch up by tomorrow afternoon.

I know that I say this all the time, but man time is sure flying by! I am getting bigger as each week passes and I love it! :) I have felt pretty good this week besides being tired, which is to be expected. Nothing much has changed this week. Brayden is still as active as ever and his little kicks are getting stronger. Nick and I love to sit and watch Brayden move in my belly. He is also getting more active throughout the night.

Nick had a birthday this week. He turned 29 on Wednesday, next year he will be the big 3-0! :) I guess we will have to do something pretty special next year. He had a pretty good birthday I think. I made him a homemade cake for his birthday. It turned out pretty good for the first time I guess. Of course, I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked because I had my glucose test on Thursday and I didn't want to eat anything that was going to throw my sugar off.

On Thursday, I went for a check up and my glucose test. Nick could not go with me for the first time because it was late in the day and he works 2nds. I told him not to worry about it because it was just my glucose test and a check up. I did not want him to worry about trying to get off this time since he is going to day shift next week. He will be able to go with me to all of the rest of my appointments. Luckily, my mom was able to go with me to this appointment. I did not know how well I would take drinking the yummy drink so I wanted someone there with me just in case. I heard that some people do not do well with the drink. I did fine. It was not bad at all. It tasted like a sunkist. After the lab work, we seen the doctor. My weight and blood pressure was perfect. We heard his little heartbeat and I was measuring right at 26 weeks, which is right on target. Nick has been dying to know if we will have another ultrasound because he wants one so bad so I made sure to ask her. She told me that we will probably not have another ultrasound as long as everything continues to look great.

On Friday I got the dreaded call that I had failed my 1 hour glucose test. So that meant that I had to take the 3 hour test. We will find out those results tomorrow. I will post my 26 week blog with those results tomorrow. I also found out on Friday that I am anemic and that I need to start taking Iron as well.


Well I will not make you wait any longer. Here are my 25 weeks photos!!


I also wanted to post a picture of the highchair that my mother in law got for us. Nick had to set it up so we could get a picture.


We really like it! Let's hope Brayden does! :)
Well I guess that is all for now. Check back tomorrow for my 26 week update and the results of my glucose test.
Love you all,
Nick, Amy and Brayden
