26 weeks...

This week we have a few classes at the hospital.  Bringing home baby which is only an hour and the childbirth marathon on Saturday.  It's from 8:30-4:30 pm.  It'll be a long day but worth it.  I can't believe I've made it this far. It feels a bit surreal.  I can't wait to meet our little girl.  I love feeling her move around.  It makes me feel so reassured that she's okay. A part of me thinks J is in a bit of denial. We need to do so much work around the house I have no idea when it will be done.  J doesn't seem to be able to get started.  Anyway, all I can do is take one day at a time.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts still itchy and sensitve
• Tired and out of breath rather quickly
• Finding it harder to move freely and tie my shoelaces
• Belly popping out 
• Very full belly 
• Baby kicks and movement
• Sleeping issues

Other than this awful cold, things have been uneventful.  Work is a bit stressful but that's all.  I'm trying to start planning and cleaning up.  I'm signing J and I up for some classes at the hospital. Childbirth classes, bringing home baby and the hospital tour.  They will all be in October.  Can't believe how quickly time is moving by.  I've started a list of baby items we'll be needing.  J is a bit shocked by the price tag but it is what it is.  I'm also needing to look into childcare.  I was thinking a company would be better but it might be too pricey.  Home day care seems more affordable.  Just worried about the safety of our baby.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts don't hurt as much but nipples seem very sensitive
• Tired but because of this cold
• Stomach is definitely getting bigger
• Sneezing and coughing still.  Lots of congestion
