It seems as if in the last few days I have gotten significantly bigger. The pictures below were taken today and unlike the last set, which I posted almost 3 weeks after I took them, I thought I would be timely and post these right away. The left photo above was taken Feb 10th and the right photo just yesterday. We went for our routine check-up today and there is nothing to report, everything is normal. I've gained 4 more pounds, for a total so far of 18 I think. I had a blood test to check for gestational diabetes and I'll find out those results next week. I am almost done the second trimester, I have one more week before I start the final third trimester!
Tonight Chris put together our first piece of furniture for the baby, a cradle that will go next to our bed. I got a wave of excitement looking at it and imagining our little baby inside sleeping. We also recently got a birth ball thanks to a couple in our childbirth class who own a gym. It's been great for me to sit on and ease back pain, or lay back and stretch out. Batman barked at it for almost a half an hour when we first brought it home. He's a funny dog.
Next week we are having the new office painted a bright shade of orange/yellow on 2 walls and gray/green on the other 2 to balance it out. All the trim will be white. I'm looking forward to setting up the room and going through all the junk that has collected. Once the baby's room is cleared out I can start to visualize what I want to do in there. I've been thinking about it a lot and I think I have it figured out, but I want to do some test painting to be sure.
