Week 26
I start week 26 today which means that I am fully 25 weeks pregnant with only 15 weeks to go. The time is going by so fast! I was getting worried about my weight gain since the holidays piled on some extra pounds but my books say that I am on track. So far, I've gained 20 pounds. I am the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I must say though, I prefer to wear clothes that shows the belly bump. I want people to know I'm pregnant. I love the belly!
My husband had finally been able to feel the baby kick. I'm glad he can experience it too. The baby will often stop kicking when he places his hand on my belly which my doctor says is common. She says they sense something different and stop kicking for a while. I knew all along he'd prefer me = ) Just kidding.
We went to Babies R Us this weekend and registered. It was overwhelming and tiring but I feel good about most of my choices. We opted to not get an official stroller at this time. Instead, we got the Graco Snugride carseat and the metal frame it fits into. The frame is light weight, steers well and has a large basket. I can also fold it with one hand. For now, it seems like the best option.
One thing I let my husband pick out was the infant tub. He liked it because it folded up. I don't like it because I think I'll have a hard time bathing a newborn in it since it doesn't have the net. Hopefully it will surprise me.
I have my glucose test in a few weeks. I'm scared I won't pass it since my dad had diabetes and I can't get enough of the sweets. Wish me luck!

One piece of advice... When we had our son, we realized how necessary a net is for the bathtub. Babies are slippery little things!! So, even though your husband was allowed to pick out the tub, I really recommend the tub that has the net. I can't imagince bathing the baby without that! :) Plus, you can comfortably lay the baby on his tummy while you wash his back. It is nice and compfy. :)

Thanks Sandy. I hadn't thought about laying him on his stomach. My husband is worried about the space (we live in a one bedroom in NYC) and the one he chose folds up. I do agree that we need a different one.
