6 & 1/2 months (26 weeks)

6 and a half months pregnant. From everything I have read, they say that your 2nd trimester is the easiest. So far I agree. For the second trimester, I just was pregnant. Now, I am larger and have a belly in my way. You know the thing that got the hardest the fastest? Feeding the dogs. Their food bins are on the floor of our pantry. So now, I have to sit down on the floor to get to them. And they are under the shelf, so I have to lean over to get into them. It makes for an uncomfortable position for a pregnant lady.

Speaking of pregnant, she is moving more and more. Sometimes I am unsure of what she is even doing in there because the last few days my whole stomach vibrates. I can feel her almost any time. I am also getting to know her schedule. She is most active when I first get up in the morning and again about 6pm. I also feel her a little about 1pm. She is pretty consistent with that.

Last night Hubby graduated. He got his 1st Master’s Degree. Something to do with computer security. I forget the whole title and what his emphasis was. He is on track to get his 2nd masters in December. The ceremony was unlike any other. First, going into it, we had little clue as to where it was and what was actually going to happen. The neat thing was that they actually allowed anyone to come down front and take pictures. So, I was able to be 5 feet away when Hubby got hooded and received his diploma. I am not sure the pictures turned out great, but we will see.

The neat thing is that Hubby’s dad flew in from Virginia to surprise him for the graduation. I am not sure Hubby was all that surprised, since a pregnant lady needs help getting things ready for a guest, and due to flight problems, his father arrived about 12 hours later than planned originally. But it was neat that he came out here to see him walk. Today we are going to head up to the Air Force Academy and go to the visitor’s center. Maybe I can coerce the two of them to install a ceiling fan in the nursery. But first we have to get a fan. His dad flies out tomorrow morning. So, it was a short, but happy to see him trip. We will see him again in November when both his parents come out for Thanksgiving.

More big news this week: Bristol passed his CGC test! He is now certified as a Canine Good Citizen. Meaning he has training and manners! I was worried; we went to a farm in Falcon to a 4-H meeting. There were lots of little kids there. He gets overwhelmed easy by lots of kids. So, I was worried he wouldn’t behave. But he behaved well enough that he passed! He will get a certificate from the AKC! I am very proud. If you remember, that was one of my New Year’s resolutions was to get him CGC certified. I also wanted to make him a therapy dog, but I am thinking he is more going to be an agility dog. That is more his personality.

This upcoming week is my last week at WnW. It’s rather unreal and I don’t think it has sunk in yet. It will, I hope. I am having a BBQ at my house next Sunday for everyone to thank them for all they have done, and to welcome the new management team. I am really looking forward to have time to do all my nesting stuff! I haven’t had much time to clean, so I plan on spending the next few months cleaning and organizing!

Coming up this week baby-wise, I have my glucose test. I guess to find out if I have gestational diabetes. I am not really worried about it. I can’t believe they test you this late! Well, I guess they know what they are doing!
