Baby Dox: Week 26

This month our appointment was a little late due to the holidays. We went to the doc and got to hear our little guys heart beat (144).

We have been working on his nursery and got it painted now we just need to fill it with furniture and a baby!

This past month his activity level has gone up, and now you can really feel him moving around, as well as see it from the outside.  For Christmas I tried to not get anything for him since he isn't here yet, but we did get a few movies (most of which were my old favorites that were $5 from Amazon). We also found some really good black Friday deals on Little Einstein toys from Walmart and an Ergo baby carrier.

I have not had any weird cravings so far but the other night I was at a primary meeting until pretty late and I decided that I needed a strawberry milkshake. I texted Chris and he had one waiting for me when I got home.

Another fun change was for our health insurance we had to have physicals to get bonus money in our health savings account.  The physical consisted of being weighed and having our cholesterol levels checked. We got our results back and no big surprise my BMI (height compared to weight) said that I was overweight, and my cholesterol levels were like scary high! It scared because I was curious what my cholesterol was a few months before I was pregnant and everything was in the "good" range. So I had to do some Google-ing to make myself feel better. Apparently its normal for your cholesterol to be high while your pregnant, that was a big surprise. Other than that all test have come up normal and everything seems to be in working order!
