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…

Puppy Love
Some people have asked if we ever regretted getting a dog. I can honestly say no. More honestly some days I think how much easier things (i.e. travel) would be but then I’d miss the interaction between E and Scotia. I must also admit, I do like being pregnant for the simple fact that the dog actually pays attention to me. Well, curls up and sleeps by my side or feet depending on where I am sitting. She doesn’t do this when I’m not pregnant for some reason. I have admitted that if we found out we were expecting E the weekend before we wouldn’t have made that trip to…

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!…
