13 Weeks! 🤗

Yikes, it's been a quick week. At the start, I felt everything was moving as slow as molasses but not this past week.... Which has flown by for some reason.

Things happening:

1. Saw the Gestational Diabetes nurse, I had a higher than normal A1C in my blood work so the OBGYN referred me to this clinic to start monitoring my blood glucose numbers. I got quite an earful on how I should be changing my eating habits and checking my levels (finger pricking) 4x a day. Fun, fun! I went grocery shopping and it cost me double what I normally pay (and less things Chris will even eat) which was a bummer. Hopefully I can manage to maintain it so they don't have to put me on insulin. Sometimes, even if you do your best, it's inevitable and the placenta and hormones cause so many issues, it's needed no matter how healthy you are eating.

2. No more Nausea!

3. My Marsha Bear had her little girl ❤️ and I can't wait to meet her in person.

4. OBGYN lost my blood work for the NIPT test and asked me to come back and draw more, which will also be delaying the reveal for if I'm having a boy or a girl. Patience.... Not my virtue.

5. Linus has a sore mouth on one side, vet gave him pain meds and antibiotics, thankfully! He's been so miserable (see pic of him snuggling with Daddy below)

6. While shopping with my lovely Mother in Law (Christine), we came across these baby shampoo line called "Zoey" spelled the same way we'd picked for a girl name. We think it's a sign. :)

I guess that's it! I'll be back next week with hopefully the exciting news of.. girl or boy!
