27th week: doctor's appointment

Weight gain this past week was 2 pounds; 15 total so far. This is the last week of my 2nd trimester. I am on the down hill. I had another checkup this week and a glucose test...results were negative...GREAT! While I was being checked, my doctor said I was having a Braxton Hicks contraction. I have felt this before but did not realize that's what that was. Now that I know what it feels like, I am noticing them more often. I had an obvoius one while at the grocery store Thursday and another one while shopping Saturday. They didn't really heart but were a little uncomfortable just for a few minutes. Over the weekend, Kelly, mom & I went to the Nutcracker Market in Houston. I made a few purchases for the nursery. It really put me in the mood for Christmas! I am ready to put up my tree! Sunday, we celebrated Colin's 2nd Birthday. I can't believe he is already 2 years old. I can see how quickly kids grow up.
