26+ Weeks

26 weeks (sweats go on immediately after stepping in the front door)

I hit 26 weeks on Wednesday and am still feeling great overall.  I have hit extreme exhaustion earlier this pregnancy but that could be in part due to returning for a nice relaxing vacation back to work, a toddler having trouble sleeping, and a 3 hour time difference.  :-)

We had Noah's 2nd birthday a few weeks ago and had family in town to celebrate. Shortly after we went to Hawaii (Kauai) for a week for a nice relaxing vacation.  And relaxing is ALL we did.  We were such bums and hung out by the pool or beach almost the whole time except a few driving adventures.  It was just the vacation and break we needed, I don't understand how I could have come back more tired than when I left! 

Everything is pretty smooth other than that.  I did my glucose test last week and have not hear back, which typically means that I passed.  It was easy and I just chugged my drink with a straw and waited for the belly to go crazy :-) I also got to schedule my "every two week" appointments.  I have one more monthly and then scheduled three two-weekers, which will bring me to 36 weeks and my weekly appointments.  More frequent appointments really make time fly by so that is pretty exciting!!
