28 weeks

Last Thursday I was 28 weeks along. My glucose test went well and the baby's heart rate was 144. My lower back/ butt is feeling so much better thanks to physical therapy! I can now walk normal and even longer (went a mile yesterday). This week I will be starting physical therapy in the water which should be really good, except for the having to wear a swimming suit part. I'm sure it will be worth it :) Haven't gotten a belly shot lately but will try to remember this week!

Bathroom

The bathroom is finally finished... besides rugs and a curtain! Andrew did such a great job finishing everything up. Probably the most exciting purchase for the bathroom was the mirror. We really wanted a big mirror above the vanity but could not find the right size and if it was close, it was super expensive! So we were thinking we were just going to have to do two, one above each sink. Well, one day we were just browsing Goodwill and Andrew found this mirror that would be the perfect size! The only problem was that the frame was an ugly wood. I told him that I could fix that with some spray paint and if we didn't like it, we were only out $40. Once we got it home, I spray painted it brown and we love it! It fits perfectly and was only $40! Thank you Jesus!

The shower curtain is not the one that I REALLY want, but the one I REALLY want is not in our budget right now.... someday :)
I love how fresh and clean it looks and like the idea that I can easily change the decor/ color. Now to make the curtain and find some rugs...

26 weeks

So these last 3 weeks haven't been the best on my body. I really can't complain because things could be a lot worse! I have this muscle in my lower back/ butt on the right that is hurting and not allowing me to walk normal. I kinda look like and old lady when I walk. It is embarrassing to walk because I know people are thinking, "she isn't pregnant enough to walk like that", which I am not... it just hurts! So I have been to the chiropractor, which I think has helped some because I can walk now (for 2 days I honestly could hardly walk) but I really really would love to be able to GO on walks the rest of my pregnancy. I can tell that not being able to exercise is affecting me mentally, kinda depressing. So, my midwife referred me to physical therapy and my first appointment is Tuesday! I'm really hoping that it helps, or at least I can do water therapy and start getting more exercise (as much as I DO NOT want to be in a swimming suit right now, I will do it!).

Now on to better things... my appointment last week went well. The babies heartbeat was 160 and everything looked good. I measured big but probably because I just gained weight :( I am really enjoying feeling the baby move around more! My next appointment is in 2 weeks and I get to do the glucose test :( Here are some pics...
