26 week update

I am now 26 weeks along (which means only 14 to go!), and I am getting bigger! The baby is very active now, and is moving and kicking and punching a lot! I had a check up this past Monday, which by the way is my last monthly check up. From now on they will be every 2 weeks, and will eventually be every week. It is kind of exciting/scary to think that it is getting this far along that I need to come in every two weeks. At the appointment the doctor said that baby is measuring as he/she should be, and everything looks and sounds healthy. Stephen didn't get to go to this appointment with me, it's the first he has missed. Fortunately our next one is in the afternoon and he will be able to go. I got to hear the heartbeat again, which is always amazing to me, and an ongoing reminder that there really is a person inside who will be coming out soon. When we listened to the heartbeat, it was amazing to hear a slow heartbeat that started to accelerate. The doctor said either the baby was just waking up, or was getting irritated from her pushing on him/her with the Doplar! It's so crazy to think that already our baby might have quite a little personality!
