12 more weeks to go...or maybe less, maybe more! I have my glucose screening test this week, Tuesday afternoon. This test will let me know if I have developed gestational diabetes. I don't think I have had any signs of it but then again I don't really know the signs, so who knows. After my check-up this week I will begin seeing my doctor every two weeks from now on. I hope this combined with the upcoming holiday season will make the last trimester fly by! Wishful thinking I know, but a girl can hope. About the baby...this week he is developed enough to turn his head from side to side, weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and measures 15-16 inches long. He can also cough, blink, and suck his fingers now too. Daniel and I both were finger suckers...me-my thumb and Daniel-his two middle fingers, so chances are this little guy is entertaining himself in there with this new skill.

End of the second trimester-26 weeks today! Our little boy has been doing some serious growing over the past few weeks and giving me some growing pains in the process. He is now 2 pounds or more and is 12-15 inches long. He has started opening his eyes this week which is kind of weird if you think about it. I wonder if he can see anything in there at all? We ordered the baby's dresser last week. It's the last peice of major furniture to go in the room. Now I just need the finishing touches like blinds, curtains, a lamp, and some decorations and oh yeah...a baby ; ). Daniel and I are off to a big day of cleaning, nesting, and organizing and then on a much needed date tonight. I might take some new pictures of this mom and the baby bump all dressed up and post them. Love to all-Frances
