26 week appointment and photo

This morning was our 26 week appointment and we're one day from the third trimester...CRAZY!! Feeling like I'm sounding like a broken record, but so blessed to report that things are still going great. Weight gain is at 13 pounds total, which doc is very pleased with, and blood pressure is still low. I did the glucose challenge at this appointment - definitely not the most enjoyable thing I've ever done, but based on how people described it, I was prepared for it to be much worse - it's basically thick, flat fruit punch.  Fingers crossed that everything's okay on that front!
Starting at 30 weeks, we'll be seeing Dr. Castilla every two weeks, making this all seem like it's getting so close! Our next sonogram will be at 32 weeks and I already can't wait to see that precious face again - I feel like it's been forever and I need my baby girl fix!
The nursery is actually starting to resemble a nursery now that the crib is here (THANK YOU, MOM!) and built (THANK YOU, B!), and the guest room furniture is gone. The dresser is on the way, the chair is set to arrive in early-mid October, and then folks, we'll be pretty darn close to having a complete nursery. Whoa, but so excited. I'm in FULL nesting mode.

Weeks 25-26 symptoms: catching a full breath is tough at times, movement slowed a bit during week 25, but picked back up in earnest during 26, heartburn was rough in 25 - but have discovered that pizza is a huge culprit, getting comments that I seem "small" for how far along I am (doc confirmed I'm fine, and that people should keep opinions to themselves as to not worry pregnant ladies ;)
EWWW.
Here's hoping it comes back negative so I don't have to do the 3 hour challenge!
