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!
