26 Weeks, Dr Appt and Sick

I had my monthly check up on 9/21.  The baby's HB was between 140 and 145.  I felt a few kicks/jabs before she put the doppler on me so I think baby was awake.  I didn't really have any questions for the midwife and was told my next appointment would be my last monthly check up.  I would then start my every 2 week check ups.  I can not believe we are almost at that point already.  My glucose screening is on 9/28 and really not looking forward to that. I have to be at the office by 8:30am, they draw my blood, make me drink this super sugary stuff and then draw blood at 9:30am and 10:30am.  I can't eat or drink during that time from what I'm told.  I hope at least water though.  I don't know how I can go 2 hours without drinking any water!  
Joey had his 18 month check up last Thursday and we both came down with colds on Friday/Saturday.  It's so hard to not feel good and try to take care of a child, let alone when they aren't feeling good either.  I remember getting sick when I was pregnant with Joey about a month before he was due to arrive.  Hopefully that doesn't happen again and I can escape sickness until this little one arrives.

How far along: 26 weeks

Weight gain/loss: My scale says 13-14lbs, doctor's scale says 11-12lbs.  Either way I'm on the right track.

Maternity clothes: Haven't purchased anything new.  Trying to stretch what I have.

Stretch marks: Using the cocoa butter and oil

Symptoms: Stuffy nose, some mild aches/pains, Braxton Hicks contractions, feeling tired/drained and finding it difficult to eat or find anything that sounds good.

Sleep:  Pretty good, I love our bed and just wish I could sleep more!!

Best moment this week: Had my monthly check up and got to hear little one's heartbeat.  Love that sound :)

Gender: This baby is far less active from what I can tell and I still think girl.

Belly button in or out: Staying in so far

Food cravings:  Nothing I have to have.  Though I do notice more of a sweet tooth this time around.  I usually resort to fruit or these gummy stars we get at Whole Foods. 

Movement: I've noticed the baby can now stick out a limb and keep it there which feels odd.  But definitely much quieter than Joey was.

What I miss: My energy!!

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling better and hopefully resting this weekend.
