26th week doctor visit

shea & i had a doctor's appointment this morning and all is well!

i've gained 5 pounds so far. doctor says another 10 would suffice. but i'm just trying not to pack it all on too quickly! blood pressure is excellent... and this little baby girl is a MOVER!!!
i actually had some concerns about how active she is... i asked my nurse practitioner today if my baby has ADD or something. she just laughed and warned both shea and i that we better get our rest now cause there's a good chance she's going to be a firey little one. but seriously, she is extremely active. i wake in the morning and she's at it. as i sit here at work at 12:30pm, she's moving around. she moves around while i'm at school. whether i'm driving, or sitting or cutting hair or eating or peeing... she's at it. she moves when i get home at 10:30pm. she moves when i go to bed after midnight. there's really no rhyme, reason, or rhythm to her antics... she's just an active little thing!

as far as pregnancy goes, it's been a breeze! i guess i'm one of the lucky ones, not having a lick of morning sickness, no problems so far, no insane weight gain, no odd cravings, no major sensitivities to smells or anything. i have my fingers crossed that our birth goes as smoothly!

shea finished the nursery for us yesterday. it's beautiful. i'll post pictures once i get everything in it's spot :). 2 more weeks to 3rd trimester and getting more and more excited everyday!

love you all,

kristi

Welcome!

this is my first time "blogging", call me old fashioned, but i've been quite fond of facebook and good ol' email.
with baby on the way and so many of my family across state lines, i figured i'd keep everyone updated on the haps of the Swanson-Teels (aka.. sweatpant mafia!!!).
happy reading.

love, kristi, shea, hunter & baby
