Week 17

I am now craving cream cheese all the time.  This is a little different from our first pregnancy when all I wanted was cheetos and sausage McMuffins.  I have been trying to eat a lot better as well.

I have a new glucose device attached to my belly that measures my blood sugar throughout the day so I don't have to test every 2 hrs like before.  I notice peaks of highs and lows at certain times of the day which I have been trying to avoid.  Instead of resorting to eat carbohydrates for everything, I am trying low glycemic index foods or more protein based food items.  So far I am doing much better reducing the frequency of blood sugar peaks. My main food items now are:  eggs, cheese, hummus and carrots when I get hungry.

Onto other news, we find out the gender next week.  Team Blue or Pink!!  I might take another poll as see what others think.

Week 15

I am happily wearing all my maternity clothes. I have no clue why some people don't like wearing them.  It is like I am wearing pjs everyday.  I have to savor these moments because this most likely will be our last pregnancy.

I am starting to feel some kicks here and there.  It is very exciting!!  I tried to get Colby to feel my belly but he just responds with a weird look and insists on punching me.  Ohh boy!!!

The following week, Bill and I shared the pregnancy news with our co-workers.  I made pink and blue cupcakes.  Everyone was really happy.  I am glad the secret is out.  I can now be fat and happy.

The little bub is now the size of an apple.  Hopefully I will upload the sonogram photo this week.
