24!
We have reached one of the last milestones, one of the most important ones for this little one if you ask me. Viability. If something were to happen, this baby would at least have a fighting chance and have people fighting for him/her. Baby is the size of: Weighs over 1lb and as much as 12″ long (think Papaya) Total weight gain/loss: I only get myself weighed at appointments so same as last week. About 10.2lbs. I’m gaining a lot faster than with E that’s for sure. Stretch marks? Not yet. I thought I felt and saw some but DH said it’s just a dent that coincided with some veins. I think he…

It’s starting
I can already see it creeping up and is going to be on the brink of spiralling out of control. What is it you might ask. My frickin’ glucose levels! I remember the battle I had in T3 last time and I know it’s going to get there again but I’ve had such great control over my sugars until a couple weeks ago now. They were so consistent and awesome before but I was watching them creep up. There is nothing I could have done to stop it and I couldn’t counteract anything because the numbers were still within target, they were just slowly going higher and closer and closer to target…

Baby is the size of: Length of an Ear of Corn or size of a Large Mango (~just over a pound) Stretch marks? Luckily none yet. Sleep: It’s pretty good. I am waking once a night, which is good because I’m having nighttime insulin issues so it allows me to test mid-night so we have an idea what is going on. Best moment this past week: Christmas Eve/Day with J and E. E seemed to “get it” this year and was a joy on Christmas. It took him hours to open his gifts but he loved every toy and every minute of it. Miss Anything?: I wanted a Strawberry Daiquiri or Orange Julius (non-virgin). I…

Baby is the size of: Length of a Spaghetti Squash and ~1lb. Our ultrasound agreed and this baby measured exactly454g (exactly 1lb) Total weight gain/loss: As of today I’ve gained +5.5lbs in the last month so now I’m up 10.2lbs. I’m scared what Christmas might do! HAHA Stretch marks? Not yet my friend. Sleep: Can’t get enough! Best moment this past week: 2, yes TWO, in-depth ultrasounds! It was great getting to see Bean so much and for so long and in so much detail. But we found out that baby has a 2 vessel cord. Just a small complication that usually means nothing but we’ll see what the growth ultrasounds and…

Baby is the size of a: Total weight gain/loss: I’ve gained 1.7lbs in the last month so 4.7lbs total so far! Stretch marks? Nothing new. Sleep: It’s pretty good but Lord help me if I wake up on my back then I’m sore for days. Best moment this past week: Seeing you growing and moving away on the ultrasound! Miss Anything?: Not having to take injections and prick my fingers numerous times a day! Movement: Definitely getting stronger and more frequent! I have a feeling this one has a lot more energy and spunk than E. Food cravings: Turtles, Orange Julius’ Strawberry Smoothie Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing!…
