We are in week 18 of our second pregnancy and officially into the 5 month of pregnancy. I started feeling the baby move last week, which is reassuring! I know in a month or two I may start complaining about those mid-night kicks, but for now I love it.
This pregnancy has brought another round of gestational diabetes, but with a little encouragement from my friend Amanda, I am able to successfully take care of my insulin injections on my own.
I am also pleased (and blessed) to share that I am starting to feel much better and my morning sickness and nausea seems to be decreasing. Although Geoffrey considers my morning intruder a nice reminder of the baby growing inside me, I am much happier without that particular type of reminder.
In other news, I have definitely started growing out of my clothes and now have a good excuse for my "extra padding". With the start of the new year, a new little baby (6 months old) has started at my day care and I am pleased to see how well Eli has adapted to the change. He is gentle with this little one and careful to touch him with "soft" hands.
Next week we will schedule our second ultrasound and will hopefully have news on the gender of the baby soon! Stay tuned!

Sounds like the answers to a lot of prayers. You do realize that there a host of folk who hold you precious and dear who are remembering you to God daily - even hourly at times.
You are special indeed, and so is Geoffrey - and so is Eli - and so is "Miss or Mr. Potato Head". (Oh, that's awkward! Let's get to that ultrasound soon. OK, Dear Dana?)
And Thanks for the update.
Well, I knew you could handle your insulin. You just needed to be told you could (or forced with an awful alternative:). I can't wait to know if the baby is a boy or a girl! Love you!
I hope all is going better and all the little ones are adjusting to each other. I know Rylan has enjoyed playing with your little ones. I can't wait to hear if this is a little princess or another rugrat. It will be exciting either way. Love you and miss you all. Thanks for taking care of my little grandbaby. See ya all next week.
Do you know what your having yet??
