25!
Baby is the size of: an average rutabaga (~1.5lbs) and the size of an avg. squash (~13.5″) Total weight gain/loss: I feel like I’ve gained a ton over the holidays. We’ll see in a couple weeks what the numbers tell me. Stretch marks? None. Just bruises from the injections. Oh fun! Sleep: I had a rough half week when I needed to roll over or get up but at least I didn’t wake often. Stupid tailbone. Best moment this week: Cuddle time with your brother on January 7th. (See this post) Miss Anything?: Being near an Ocean Movement: Chuck/Charlotte Norris in the making! Food cravings: Apples with cinnamon Anything making you queasy or sick: The stomach bug your brother…

Home Base
I am his home base and he is mine. I was his refuge, his warmth, his food. I was all he knew. Slowly he became comfortable enough to crawl or walk away, but always with a glance back. Now he runs and hides but always sneaks a peek. (I pretend I don’t notice sometimes. Others I flash him a big grin) He has become my refuge, warmth, and food for my soul. He may not say “Mom” very often or all that clearly but when he does. I melt. Like this afternoon. He woke early from nap and we thought he may go back so I grabbed him, his blankets…

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…
