Well, 26 weeks already! I think everybody calculates the trimesters differently but I believe this is pretty much my last week, and actually DAY, of my 2nd trimester! I'm excited about that! Just a little closer to meeting our sweet son. Holy smokes...our SON. It's weird to say that:) Anyway, this week's been much like a roller coaster. Wednesday we had a great doctor's appointment and E.J. was with me because I had to do my glucose test. Thursday I received a call that I failed. Yes, failed. I was blown away! So, now I get to do the 3 hour test tomorrow morning while I do my work conference calls...I have heard a lot of people fail the first one and then pass the 3 hour so I'm optimistic. I've done a little research on gestational diabetes and I definitely don't want it! We celebrated Halloween and that was fun! We always dress up and pass out candy. This year we just didn't do all the decorations but it was still fun. I ate my share of candy that night...and haven't eaten a piece since I found out I failed my glucose test and we have A LOT leftover! I had a chance to look at cribs Friday night with my other mother (Pat) and now we just have to nail that down...just add that to the list of to do's! Saturday we got the dreaded call that E.J.'s aunt passed away. We are responsible for handling her affairs so we are going to be driving up to New Jersey sometime this week, it's still kinda up in the air. I just pray that everything goes okay.
So, as you can see...roller coaster! Up and down... We are tough though and will get through everything. Just say a little prayer for us if you read this:) We appreciate it!
Well, I'll leave you with a couple of photos!! Halloween at the Kukoly's...I always dress up as a witch (classic, I know) and E.J. a spooky man BUT I had to post the pic of E.J. with his halloween candy stash...he cracks me up!
•How far along?: 26 weeks, 6 days
•Baby is the size of a: Cucumber (15in., 2.2lbs)
•Total weight gain/loss: 17lbs (as of 26 weeks, 2 days)
•The Bump: We love it...I almost always have my hand on it:)
•Symptoms: Again, I'm emtional. I hear this is normal but to me it's annoying. E.J. told me to embrace it and just know that it's my hormones then maybe I'll take it a little easier. This is good advice...I just need to accept it and be okay with it! lol :)
•Food Cravings: Still none. At this point I don't think I'm going to get them.
•Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Just when I'm hungry, which is pretty normal.
•Sleep: This past week was pretty good....
•What I miss: I don't miss anything. I'm happy:)
•Weddings Rings On or Off: On!
•Any Names Picked Out Yet: We have a Jr!
•Gender Prediction: Baby Kukoly is a BOY!
•Movement: It's the absolute most amazing thing I've experienced in my entire life. I am feeling him pretty much everyday. For a while he was inconsistent but now it's daily and often... I lay down on the couch and usually feel him at night. This morning he was wiggling around a bunch and I felt it the second I woke up. Actually, maybe that's why I woke up:)
•Maternity Clothes: I need to invest in some more...I just only like them if they're cute.
•Best Moment of the Week: Every week it will now be feeling baby Emil move... Other than that, it was hearing our sweet boys heart beat when we went to for our checkup.
•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Getting things done...The holidays....Meeting baby Emil.
